Huawei Mate 20 Devices to Launch With Android 9 Pie-Based EMUI 9.0

Huawei Mate 20 lineup of smartphones is already confirmed to be launched on October 16 in London. Ahead of the launch next month, Huawei confirmed that the devices would run EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9 Pie. The beta version of the Android Pie-based EMUI 9.0 was introduced at the ongoing consumer electronics show IFA 2018 here. “With the launch of EMUI 9.0, Huawei becomes one of the first handset makers to launch a custom OS that is based on Android Pie, which I think speaks volumes of our close relationship with Google,” Wang Chenglu, President of Software Engineering, Huawei Consumer Business Group, told reporters of IANS.

Overall, EMUI 9.0 performs 12.9% faster than its predecessors, and supports faster app launch speeds, Huawei said. Internal tests showed that EMUI 9.0 launched Instagram 12% faster and Spotify 11% faster.

“Every change, from consolidating the settings menu, to optimising the performance, to including new digital wellbeing and productivity features, is made to ensure EMUI 9.0 delivers a great, user-friendly experience,” Wang said.

EMUI 9.0 comes with GPU Turbo 2.0, the second generation of Huawei’s graphics processing acceleration technology, which supports even more games and at a greater capacity. The latest iteration of the solution can intelligently optimise intensive workloads and give the devices a performance boost on demand while reducing power consumption, claimed Huawei which has surpassed Apple to become the world’s second-largest smartphone seller after Samsung.

Besides gaming, the solution also improves other areas that are essential to a quality user experience, such as touchscreen responsiveness and network connectivity, among others.
