EMUI 12:
Other than security patches, Huawei is expanding the reach of EMUI 12 major software updates for the above-mentioned models as well as Huawei P40 Lite and other important models. However, some of these models are testing EMUI 12 under the beta activity and EMUI 12 rollout for Huawei P30 and Mate 20 series will begin in April. However, we are expecting this release to happen sooner.
Meanwhile, if you own a Huawei device that we recommend you to check for the latest rollout via the instructions given below.
To check for the latest software update, you need to tap on Settings, then visit System & updates > from here, you can tap on Software updates > and then you touch CHECK FOR UPDATES. Thereafter, your phone will check for available software updates.
On the flip side, you can also check for updates via the My Huawei app, which could also assist you with other services.
Huawei has released the January 2023 software update for the Huawei Nova Y90 and Y70 smartphones in the global market, and this firmware clearly improves these phones’ security aspects for a better user experience.
Both Huawei Nova Y90 and Y70 runs EMUI 12 out of the box but it would be interesting if the company could have sent EMUI 13 instead of the security patch. Speaking of which, no one knows, when Huawei will rollout EMUI 13 for global users for the time being.
Coming back to the rollout, January 2023 security update for Huawei Nova Y90 and Nova Y70 comes with EMUI version 12.0.1.177 and EMUI 12.0.1.202. This update is suggested to install on all of the devices sold marketed outside of China and will appear in batches.
We suggest the corresponding users look into the settings > then open System & updates, followed by a Software update, and then tap on CHECK FOR UPDATES. You can download the latest firmware also from the My Huawei app.
You should know that the update won’t erase your personal data but it is suggested for you back up any important data before updating the device. On the other hand, the package will be deleted automatically once the installation succeeds.
