100 million smartphones have received the EMUI 11 update. A big milestone for Huawei, which is preparing its transition to Harmony OS. This overlay will also be the last before the new operating system is deployed. The first aircraft will begin receiving the latter in April 2021.
It’s soon time for Huawei to bid farewell to Android. The final version of EMUI 11 arrived in December 2020 on the P40, before bringing it to the P30 only a few days ago. To date, 100 million smartphones have installed the update,according to the Chinese manufacturer. So many devices that count the days before Google’s operating system disappears.
Indeed, Huawei has already confirmed that this version of its overlay will be the last before the switch to Harmony OS. In beta since the end of 2020, it is soon ready to be launched. The P50s would be the first to offer the operating system,which should arrive in April 2021. You can also count on the Mate X2 to land with Harmony OS already installed.
Only a month to go before Harmony OS launches
While Huawei says it is pleased to have surpassed one million downloads of EMUI 11, the firm knows that this is only another step before Google services are shut down on its devices. It’s been focusing on its next operating system for several months. Wang Chenglu, head of the software department, said that a smartphone would soon be launched with Harmony OS. There is a good chance that it will be the P50, but no confirmation has been made on the subject.

In addition, the manufacturer has already shown its willingness to offer this one to the smartphones of its competitors. 2021 will be a crucial year for Huawei. The future will tell us if his strategy is the right one.
