At the IFA 2018, smartphone brands and tech giants unveiled their latest products. Brands like LG, Motorola and Sony launched their phones and Huawei also took a lot of limelight thanks to its unveiling of Honor Magic 2 smartphone. It was during this event only that Huawei announced the Mate 20 smartphone’s launch date as October 16 with the event happening in London. It is also worth noting that the manufacturer announced the Android 9 Pie based EMUI 9 which would be seen in the market for the first time on devices like Mate 20 Pro. The smartphone maker also announced that later in the year it would launch its new flagship processor, Kirin 980.

Like you would expect, the new EMUI 9 comes with lots of improvements some which are apparent and some on the backend. The performance definitely improves, there are bug fixes and visual changes as well. Huawei has also claimed a smoother UI, better gaming experience and has hinted towards the inclusion of the new Google Digital Wellbeing functionality. As per an Android Central report, the new EMUI comes with a lighter colour palette, changed visuals for calls and alarms although, the overall visuals of the EMUI stay pretty consistent.
EMUI 9 Beta – Which Phones Will Get it First?
Following the tradition, Huawei has also put out the word for Beta version of the EMUI which would start rolling out to devices like Huawei Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, P20 Pro, Honor 10, Honor View 10, and Honor Play. Although Huawei has spared us the details and hasn’t said anything about when the Beta will go live, we have compiled a list of steps which you can follow to install the EMUI 9 Beta when it releases.
