Huawei P40 Lite on EMUI 10.1 receiving new security improvements
Huawei is sending a new software update for the P40 Lite smartphone. This update mainly installs the security patch released in January 2021 that fixes different levels of exploits and issues for improved system security.
About phone:
Huawei P40 lite initially debuted with EMUI 10 and the device further received the EMUI 10.1 major update. However, this device is eligible to run on EMUI 11 but the official confirmation is still pending.
Last month, good news regarding this major update arrives for Nova 7i users, which is the same variant that of P40 Lite but launched with a different name in different regions. Huawei Egypt replies on this matter, Nova 7i will receive EMUI 11 around March 25, 2021.
From the above confirmation, it is expected that the Nova 7i and other similar models such as Nova 6 SE, P40 Lite, and P40 Lite 5G will get the EMUI 11 major upgrades. This is definitely good for these model users.
Apart from this, Huawei is continuously delivering security improvements for its devices that protect the device against threats and boost the overall system problem.

Huawei P40 Lite 5G on EMUI 10.1 getting a new software with security improvements
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.
