First introduced during the launch of the Huawei P40 series in March, EMUI 10.1 is built upon Huawei’s distributed technology model, offering users a seamless all-scenario experience across multiple devices. As we move towards a smarter future, Huawei’s EMUI 10.1 promises path-breaking innovation that surmounts hardware limitations while allowing cross-device collaboration like never before.

The distributed ecosystem enables interconnectivity of multiple devices such that they work together as one super device, offering a smarter lifestyle across scenarios.

HUAWEI MeeTime

One of EMUI 10.1’s unrivalled innovations is HUAWEI MeeTime, the powerful all-scenario video calling application. Among its many capabilities is full HD video calling up to 1080p between Huawei devices in all scenarios: while Huawei’s Facial Recognition technology ensures the subject clarity in low light conditions, the Super Resolution algorithm compensates for low-image quality even when the signal reception is poor. With this application, users can also share their screens with one another and mark-up areas should the need arise during a discussion.HUAWEI MeeTime is built on the distributed ecosystem, allowing it to connect with third-party devices such as the DRIFT action camera in such a way that the external camera becomes an extended camera of the smartphone itself. Users will find great benefit in this cross-device connectivity when they wish to share a live sport or stream a live concert during the call

Changes in UI

EMUI 10.1 is designed based on the principle introduced in EMUI10 – Beyond Beauty. New additions and improvements made in this version optimise the user experience to further the benefits of the distributed ecosystem.

With EMUI10, Huawei launched Always on Display (AOD) with vibrant colours that reflected the changing hues of the sky. Now EMUI 10.1 presents 3D Rendered Always-on Display that separates digital figures from the background in a multi-layer construct, offering a captivating three-dimensional experience to the user. This feature will be rolled out to more devices in this update. Users will also see three fingerprints unlock animations on EMUI 10.1. Inspired by the elements of earth, fire and water, these animation effects look immersive and riveting.

Swiping inwards from either side brings out a sidebar from which apps can be dragged out, initiating the new Multi-Window functionality. Users can work on two apps simultaneously – drag and drop images, text, and files from one to the other on the very same window. Besides, floating notifications make it easy to respond to messages without having to exit from the current app.

To ensure that the scrolling animation looks smooth and natural to the human eyes, Huawei has added the new Friction Slide based on the laws of Physics. As a result, the scrolling action functions with optimum acceleration even at varying refresh rates, allowing users to enjoy a super smooth experience while reading an article or browsing a website.

Huawei Share Multi-Screen Collaboration

Huawei Share is better than it has ever been. Originally introduced to enable high-speed data transmissions between smartphones and PCs, this feature can now facilitate transfers between 1+8 devices including smartphones, PC, smart speakers, tablets, and more.

Introduced with EMUI10, Huawei Share Multi-Screen Collaboration facilitates interconnectivity between Huawei smartphones and laptops such that both devices can be used on a single screen. EMUI 10.1 brings enhanced capabilities to this application such as picking up audio or video calls on PC, using PC applications to open files and hyperlinks on the smartphone, or even using the phone’s cellular internet connectivity on the PC with a single tap. This seamless collaboration between screens will enhance the productivity and efficiency of users, especially in an office set up.
