Emui 10.1: these are the news that will come to your huawei mobile

Do you have a Huawei mobile? Your terminal is likely to update to EMUI 10.1 soon, the company's new customization layer that runs under Android 10. This update includes improvements in security and privacy and productivity. Also in the camera or when navigating the interface. These are the news that will soon arrive on your Huawei mobile.

Celia, Huawei's new assistant

Some Huawei phones are not compatible with Google services, so they cannot use the Google Assistant. The Chinese company has an alternative: Celia (pronounced "Silia"). This assistant replaces Google's, and allows us to perform basic commands. For example, asking you to add a reminder, find out what the weather is going to be, look up information about a famous person, or open an application. C elia can also identify objects in our environment using artificial intelligence. We will only have to focus on the object to the camera and wait for it to scan it to show us information.

We can summon Celia through the command "Hey Celia". Also holding down the power button. The terminals that have Google services will continue to maintain the applications and the Google Play Store, as well as the Google Assistant, but will also be able to use Huawei's.

Huawei Assistant

Huawei Assistant is something different from Celia: it is a smart feed that is located on the side of the home screen. Assistant shows relevant information from our main applications, as well as news of our interest. Again, it uses artificial intelligence to show us related information. Some applications are also compatible with Huawei Assistant, so we can add shortcuts or Widgets.

Camera improvements

The camera also receives improvements in EMUI 10.1. The new version of Huawei's customization layer is capable of offering higher quality photos. What it does is use 4K video recording to get extra frames in the photo. The camera only gets one frame, but since it's recording at full resolution in the background, you can get additional components to improve image quality and detail. This function is only available on Huawei terminals that include a Kirin 990 processor, such as the Huawei Mate 30 Pro or the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro.

A feature is also added that helps us select the best possible image. It's called AI Best Moment, and with the help of artificial intelligence it analyzes the image frames to get the best photograph: one that is well focused, etc. Finally, the AI ​​Remove Passerby and AI Remove Reflection functions are also added. Again, the camera makes use of AI. This time to remove reflections from photos.

More options for productivity

EMUI 10.1 also helps us to be more productive. First, the 'Multi-Device Control Panel' function is added. This feature allows you to transfer content from your smartphone to another Huawei device just by bringing the mobile closer. For example, if we are listening to music on our Huawei P40, we can bring it closer to the Sound X speaker and the music will start playing from the speaker. The same if we are viewing a photo on the mobile and we want to see it on the computer: we just bring the terminal closer and the photo will be sent immediately.

We also find the 'Multi-Screen Collaboration' function. It works in a similar way. In this case focused on the company's laptops. If we bring our mobile closer to the PC, we can perform smartphone tasks on the computer screen. For example, answer messages, calls, transfer files etc.

Finally, 'Huawei MeeTime' is added, its own video calling service that will be available for mobile phones and tablets. MeetTime allows video calls in Full HD and always maintains good quality, even when the internet connection is not very stable. It also offers very interesting functions for conferences, such as the option to share the screen.

Security and privacy improvements

And if what concerns you is privacy, EMUI 10.1 also adds different improvements. All local and cloud-based data is encrypted in EMUI 10.1. The software also offers some extra privacy functions, such as 'Private Space', which allows us to activate a kind of hidden user on our mobile to save personal data. Kirin 990 processor terminals also include a CC EAL 5+ security certification. It is currently the highest level of security for commercial products, and offers greater protection in applications and payment services or that process personal data.
