One of the principles that must be clear when buying a Huawei mobile is that many times it will surprise us with the actions it takes, whether for better or for worse.

Huawei Y5 (2018).

And which ones will have EMUI 12?

For now there is no official information from the smartphone brand, since it is only confirmed that the Huawei Nova 8 has this layer of software as can be seen among its specifications. However, as soon as it begins to be implemented in the smartphones of the Asian brand, these would be the first:
