Maybe Huawei didn’t let go of Android after all? EMUI 12 has appeared

Perhaps someone had a prophetic dream at Huawei because the development of Harmony OS reportedly began long before the U.S. bans. Still, the ferocious struggle with the government has greatly accelerated the processes.

There is already a version of the system 2.0. In addition, it is run not only by Huawei products but also by gadgets from other manufacturers. So EMUI, the manufacturer’s famous Android interface, is dead. According to the latest information, I’m not sure yet.

There were many signs that EMUI’s career was over forever, since, for example, even the title of the official Weibo page of the interface was changed to Harmony OS. However, a recent report may give rise to confidence, as the latest version of Huawei Computer Manager mentions EMUI 12.

What does that mean? It is assumed that the Chinese manufacturer has not given up on developing the Android-based system since, over time, things may even get better, an agreement can still be reached with the U.S government.

Others say harmony O.S is the future now, and the fact that EMUI 12 appeared in a database is nothing more than an error, a typo in software development. However, since EMUI 12 is repeatedly referred to, it cannot be clearly stated that this is a mistake.

However, if we add that the site dedicated to EMUI on the most prominent Chinese social media site is now called Harmony OS, even the WeChat account has been renamed, perhaps the Android interface is correct.

And then, EMUI 11 was built for Android 10, and the green robotic ecosystem is almost at the 12th version. It would be interesting if EMUI 12 were hammered because Harmony OS is supposed to be so well done that other mobile manufacturers want to apply it. Why would they spend time and energy on the old surface?

Other devices are currently running Harmony, or HongMeng as it is known in its home country, on gadgets including Meizu and Midea.

Yang Haisong, head of Huawei’s consumer business, said recently that three smartphone manufacturers would be happy to use the system they have developed, but when that happens will depend entirely on the business considerations of those companies.

Is/will EMUI be 12 or not? For now, this is an open question, although a small team in the background may continue to deal with the development of the interface.
