EMUI 10.1 to roll out globally on select Huawei smartphones

Thursday, June 18, 2020

Huawei confirms the global release of the EMUI 10.1, the brand’s latest Android-based OS, on select smartphones.

First seen on the P40 series, the EMUI 10.1 brings a lot of features for productivity and multitasking. The main highlights are as follows:

Meetime – Huawei’s own video conferencing app is integrated on the EMUI 10.1-powered Huawei phones. It provides up to 1080p video quality, optimizes low-light environments and Wi-Fi connectivity, and supports screen-sharing and third-party devices wirelessly.

Multi-screen collaboration – It links supported Huawei smartphone and a Huawei MateBook laptop together. Ideal for sharing important files and receiving and making video calls, this feature lets the users navigate their phone handsfree through their laptops.

Celia – Huawei’s new personal and interactive voice assistant, Celia, can be summoned by either pressing the power button or by telling “Hey, Celia”. The Chinese smartphone brand gives a hint that Celia can identify objects, measure food calories, and do a face-to-face translation.

Huawei Share – This allows users to share media files across Huawei devices and third-party devices.

Multi-Device Control Panel– This makes management and control of connected nearby and IoT devices such as smart home appliances easier.

Multi-Window – Pressing controls, replying to messages, floating windows, and dragging files from one app to another without leaving the active screen.
