Update to emui 11: when it comes out, news and compatible phones

EMUI 11 (Magic UI 4 for Honor) will be the next big update for Huawei and Honor for their respective phones. Today, the Asian manufacturer and its subsidiary have not given many details of the new iteration of the customization layer. In fact, both companies' efforts are focused on EMUI 10.1, the latest stable version of EMUI. Fortunately, several leaks have let us see some details of EMUI 11, such as the list of compatible phones. As for the news of EMUI 11 and the date of its launch on the market, there are still a few months to know the plans of the Asian giant. For this reason we have collected all the rumors and leaks that have occurred to date regarding the new update of the Honor and Huawei software.

Date to update: when is EMUI 11 released?

Recent leaks have revealed a possible launch date for EMUI 11. According to some sources, Huawei and Honor mobiles could begin to update from the third quarter of 2020, that is, from September.

If we take EMUI 10 as a reference, everything indicates that the dates should not differ much from the first forecasts. In fact, it is very likely that the official announcement of EMU coincides with the launch of the Huawei Mate 40 and Mate 40 Pro. For now, we can only speculate, since there is no official data.

List of mobile phones compatible with EMUI 11: Huawei and Honor

Although the official list of phones compatible with EMUI 11 has not yet been revealed, various leaks have provided a provisional list of devices compatible with the latest version of the customization layer from Honor and Huawei. The list in question is as follows:

• Honor 20 Lite
• Honor 20S
• Honor 9X Pro
• Honor V30
• Honor V30 Pro
• Honor View 20
• Huawei Mate 20 Pro
• Huawei Mate 20X
• Huawei Mate 30
• Huawei Mate X
• Huawei Mate 30 Pro
• Huawei MatePad
• Huawei MediaPad M6
• Huawei Nova 5T
• Huawei Nova 5Z
• Huawei Nova 5i.
• Huawei P40
• Huawei P40 Pro
• Huawei P40 Pro Plus

Although the list is somewhat reduced, everything indicates that various mid-range and low-range models presented during 2019 and 2020 will be added. Models such as the Huawei P30 Lite or the P40 Lite could upgrade to EMUI 11 sooner rather than later, although today Today we cannot confirm this information.

What's new in EMUI 11 coming in 2020: features and functions

The novelties of EMUI 11 are unknown for the moment, although some media have ventured to confirm certain characteristics. On the one hand, the company could democratize the gesture system introduced with the Huawei Mate 30, a system specially designed for curved screens that reduces the sensitivity of gestures to avoid ghost touches.

The rest of the news could be inherited directly from the Android 11 functions. For example, the inclusion of floating notifications in the form of a bubble, the reunification of notifications according to application or the improvement of the system permissions that are provided to applications (permissions single use, more simplified interface…), not to mention the reduction of energy consumption of Android processes and the optimization of performance in general activities.

Will EMUI 11 be based on Android 11? Will Google have?

As usual, the numerical version change will be accompanied by the latest version of Android on the market, that is, Android 11. Does this mean that there will be Google services for everyone?

Nothing is further from reality. The Huawei and Honor mobiles that were launched without Google services will continue without the great G application ecosystem. On the contrary, the mobiles that were originally launched with Google will continue to maintain compatibility with their services. This was confirmed by the company during the uproar caused by the government of Donald Trump. Still, it should be noted that the next presidential elections in the United States will take place on November 3 of this year, so it is not ruled out that relations will change in the future.
