As we already know, EMUI 11 is so far Huawei‘s latest layer for its smartphones. The Chinese firm began implementing it shortly after its announcement, made in September last year. Since then, there are several terminals that have received the update, but also many others who are waiting to have these news.
There is no doubt that the problems that Huawei is suffering with Google, have also interfered in the correct progress of EMUI. Remember that EMUI 11 is a layer full of new features, but it is still based on Android 10, something that is a great disadvantage compared to its main rivals. Even so, and in parallel with the development of HarmonyOS, Huawei has been adapting EMUI 11 to its terminals present on the market. However, there are many users waiting to know if their mobile will one day be updated to EMUI 11.
A slow process
EMUI 11 began rolling out to the P40 and Mate series in China, reaching the global market soon after. Since the United States veto came into force, many Huawei models have fallen by the wayside and have not reached Europe, but the question is to know what happens with EMUI 11 and those devices that for the moment are more forgotten and whose doubts about the arrival of EMUI 11 are bigger. For this reason, and although things work at a different pace in China, Huawei still has a long job that could take months to bring this new version to various devices.
Forgotten phones for EMUI 11
This time it has been Huawei Central, which has compiled the status of some of the most popular terminals of the firm, such as those terminals of which there is no news but that should receive EMUI 11.
- Huawei P40 Lite 5G : this terminal was launched with EMUI 10.1 and is currently one of the great forgotten EMUI 11.
- Huawei P40 Lite : The standard variant without 5G, it is also running EMUI 10.1 currently, which is the only major update it has received at the moment.
- Huawei Nova 6 SE / 7i: this terminal has not arrived from the hand of Huawei to Spain, but it is not difficult to buy it in import stores. It was also updated to EMUI 10.1 and since then it continues to wait for some movement from the firm
- Huawei Y6P: it is an economic terminal that arrived in the middle of last year and that has EMUI 10.1 in its guts, with no news in sight of its update.
- Huawei P Smart 2020 : the device has been forgotten with EMUI 9.1 based on Android 9 Pie and hopes that it will receive updates to the operating system fade with the passing of the months
- Huawei P Smart 2021 (Y7a in other markets): we are facing another of the terminals that we would expect to see with EMUI 11, but for the moment it is still anchored in EMUI 10.1
Other mobiles that under normal circumstances …
It must be emphasized once again that Huawei is tied hand and foot and that its plans in the West have radically changed. If the veto of Huawei had not occurred, it is possible that EMUI 11 would have looked more like MIUI 12 or MIUI 12.5 from Xiaomi, that is, it was capable of reaching and adapting to even older terminals , despite the fact that the version of Android was not the last.
This means that there are terminals that will not receive EMUI 11 with almost total security, but they should be considered by the brand for their technical freshness and the number of users who have them in their hands. Among them we have bestsellers such as the Huawei P Smart 2019, the Honor 8X and Honor 9X or the Huawei P Smart S.
