Huawei EMUI 12 has launched with new features and a familiar design but, nobody knows what its base software, Android or HarmonyOS? That is the question that we’ve continuously seen in the past few days because Huawei is shifting its EMUI smartphone on HarmonyOS. So, is EMUI 12 is based on the company’s self-developed software or it has other plans regard EMUI devices.
So, here we are and discuss this matter in a bit of detail.
EMUI 12 offers a new user interface and motion effects that are almost identical to the HarmonyOS mobile version. Despite its similar UI, the EMUI 12 carries one more doubt, which is not addressed or mentioned inside the software.
EMUI 12 is Android or HarmonyOS?
Talking specifically, we don’t know a “correct” answer to this question at the moment. Here’s what we’ve found on this matter.
Huawei Nova 8 is the only device that comes with a pre-installed EMUI 12 operating system. On the official listing, the software is listed as “operating system” and there are no Android or HarmonyOS markings.
On the other hand, while running some benchmarking or CPU information app, the device is showing with the “Android 10” label as the base operating system. This doesn’t surprise us either because EMUI 12 could be just a simple step up from EMUI 11 but there’s a catch that those apps aren’t optimized for the HarmonyOS software ecosystem. Therefore, it could be just a misconception.

Eventually, the about phone section doesn’t feature any information about the kernel of the software, which is kind of odd as well.
EMUI history based on Android
Huawei consumers in China are enjoying HarmonyOS 2.0 installations and contributing to the millions of figures generated by this new software. However, global users are wondering when their term will come to upgrade over the next major version.
