The Android Pie-based EMUI 9.0 firmware brings several UI tweaks and adds new features including new navigation gestures, Huawei Share, Password Vault, SD card backups, and much more. You can find the list of EMUI 9.0 Features here.
Given the ongoing tussle between Huawei and the US government, EMUI 9 may be the company’s last Android-based release for many of its smartphones, though we hope things turn around for the company. There are reports that the company already working on its own Android-based OS called HongMeng OS (ARK OS) which might debut with its upcoming flagship smartphone i.e. the Huawei Mate 30 (Pro). Soon after, the same OS could be rollout to older Huawei and Honor smartphones.
