Huawei Consumer Business Group has announced the availability of EMUI 9.0 for its Mate 10 and P20 smartphone series.

EMUI 9.0 is Huawei’s custom Android P-based operating system (OS) developed to Enable a Quality Life. It comes with improved performance and new features:
EMUI 9.0 provides a simplified design inspired by nature. The design applies scenes of nature in everything from colour selections to default caller portraits. Users can also add sounds like birds chirping and flowing water in ringtones and alarm alerts.

Gesture navigation

The new EMUI 9.0 update supports a new mode of navigation – gestures. Instead of tapping buttons, users can intuitively control their device with swipes. Apps run faster and navigation is simplified, too. This is the most ergonomic EMUI yet.

User experiences with artificial intelligence (AI)

HiVision: ask the Internet for more information about objects of interest by pointing the camera towards them.

HiTouch: query online retailers and e-commerce platforms, and shop for items.

Wireless Easy Projection: wireless connectivity is now supported.

Productivity features include:

HUAWEI Share: In addition to transferring files between Huawei mobile and Huawei PC, users can now use HUAWEI Share to send files to a Bluetooth-enabled printer;

Backup: Besides HUAWEI Cloud, users may now store their backup on a SD card, USB drive or a NAS (network-attached storage);

WPS with HiAI: EMUI 9.0 automatically adjusts the alignment of documents, and can convert images and hard copies into editable digital copies for the WPS productivity suite.

Launched on 30 December 2012, the first edition of EMUI was known as Emotion UI 1.0 and built on Android 4.0. EMUI 8.0 was launched alongside the release of Huawei Mate 10 in 2017, with a renewed focus on its AI capabilities. The beta version of EMUI 9.0, based on Android 9 Pie, was launched for testing this year and released alongside the Huawei Mate 20 series. The full update to all Huawei phones is being launched in phases from end-2018.
