Without giving it too much importance, they have presented the Huawei Nova 8 in Russia, a smartphone that instead of having Huawei’s new operating system, comes accompanied by EMUI 12. This new version of Huawei’s customization layer has not even been presented, but it is not the first time that it gives us clues of its existence.
What do you play with EMUI 12 Huawei?
The arrival of the new terminal in Russia is what has revealed the existence of EMUI 12, although nevertheless this same smartphone that has been in China for some time has the update with HarmonyOS 2. There is no doubt that all this can create great confusion. And we don’t even know what to think or what Huawei will bring us in the coming months.
In the official information of the Russian Huawei website we find the confirmation that EMUI 12 is the integrated system in the Nova 8, but nevertheless there is not much information about the software and what it will bring us. The manufacturer has preferred to focus on hardware to promote this phone, giving more value to the quad camera, curvy 6.57-inch screen or the Kirin 820E chip. In this way he has avoided giving more details about it, although next August 10 it will be possible to buy and then we will see what EMUI 12 offers.
We must make it clear that this smartphone will not arrive in Spain, unless Huawei gives us another surprise. However, it could follow the same play of including EMUI 12 in smartphones for Spain.
EMUI goes back to its old ways without Google apps
Another noteworthy aspect that we have known about this presentation is that although the Huawei Nova 8 has EMUI 12 inside, it will not have Google applications for it other than the well-known veto of the United States. The version of EMUI 12 will be based on Android 11. On the web it is specified that we will have the App Gallery at our disposal to download applications.
Since at the moment HarmonyOS has not left China and we do not have information about it. For now we have only been able to see HarmonyOS on their smart watches or tablets, which leads us to think that we may have to live another year without changing the operating system and EMUI 12 is the natural step for Huawei phones they will give. There are many possibilities and few certainties that Huawei is giving us in terms of software in Spain.
