Huawei and Honor phones continue to upgrade to EMUI 10, to be able to enjoy all the news of Android 10. However, many other users are waiting with open arms for the message that indicates that the update has already arrived. While that happens, we will see in detail what requirements are necessary and if our mobile is ready to upgrade to EMUI 10.
When we are going to receive an important update such as that of an operating system, several factors must be taken into account, and our mobile phone should be prepared as if it were a set-up. EMUI 10 arrives loaded with new features, including the popular Dark Mode , smarter energy management or a renewed interface.
Preparing the arrival of EMUI 10?
Know if it will be updated
Although it seems obvious, some users may be waiting for an update that will never reach their device. Not only because we have heard about EMUI 10 and Huawei phones means that everyone will receive this patch. In MovilZona we have told you a method to know if a mobile will be updated to EMUI 10. In this way we can leave doubts and not wait in vain. This is to consult an official list of Huawei, to check the Verify model number and compilation. If our mobile is on this list we can continue preparing for the arrival of EMUI 10.
Make a backup
Huawei strongly recommends making a backup before upgrading to EMUI 10. In this way we can be prepared for possible eventualities that may arise, so protecting our personal data is essential. There are several ways to do it, but perhaps the easiest is to use the Huawei tool itself.
Huawei Backup is an application that should come by default on a mobile with EMUI. If not, we can download it directly from Google Play. Once inside, it will allow us to choose what folders and data we want to save, such as contacts, photos or messages. Then the app will ask us where we want to make the backup, which can be in the internal memory itself, in an external storage such as a microSD card or in the cloud.
Prepare the runway
It is also important to have enough memory for when the time comes to update. Keep in mind that the arrival of a new version of the operating system involves an installation of around 2GB . If we do not have this free capacity, the update may not be possible until we have released at least that amount of memory.
Within the mobile itself we have the Huawei cleaner, which will be responsible for making space by deleting junk files. The best option is to make a combination of several tools. Another one that gives a very good result is “Google Files” which has a powerful junk file eliminator, large and rarely used files or duplicate files.
Possible problems
Although it may seem a lie, there are many users who prefer to wait some time before installing a new operating system update. In addition, it is something that they take to any scope even with a PC operating system or a game version. It makes some sense, since the new versions when they have just left, usually contain errors that are gradually polishing . That is, if EMUI 9 is perfect for you, you may find some things that bother you in EMUI 10 (or not) until the patches needed to polish the version are released.
This is due to compatibility problems, and many applications must adapt to the new operating system . Let’s give an example: you have a bank app, a game or a video editing tool that works like a charm, but that doesn’t open or work badly after updating. It is very common and we must take into account before launching. Huawei clearly explains it in its list of possible problems when upgrading to EMUI 10.
HiCare as salvation
If you meet all the requirements and you are sure that your mobile has already started receiving EMUI 10, you may have to go through HiCare . There are cases of people with the same mobile that one receives the notice to update and the other does not. This is usually fixed by forcing the update via HiCare, entering the personal section and selecting the Check for Updates option. But if for some reason your mobile does not have this application, it is not a bad idea to prepare your mobile by downloading it from Google Play.
