Huawei has announced its new EMUI 11 Android overlay at its annual Huawei Developer Conference, which kicked off earlier today and will run until September 12.

(Update, November 24: See when your Huawei smartphone or tablet will get the EMUI 11 update!)

EMUI 11 will be made available to Huawei’s recent Android releases, but flagship owners will get a taste of the new software first by way of beta updates. Eligible devices include the P40 and Mate 30 series phones, and we already have a pre-release build running on our Huawei P40 Pro 5G, whose 8GB/256GB version is currently priced at P50,990 (about $1,050) in the Philippines.

There’s a bunch of new Always-On Display designs, as well as a new display option that saves battery life by requiring the user to tap the screen to see the AOD lock screen. EMUI 11 also brings smarter Multi-Window functionality and Multi-Screen Collaboration 3.0, which lets users open multiple apps on the Huawei MateBook when connected to a phone via Huawei Share.
