But a few standard models like Mate 50, and Nova 11, are still waiting to grab the upgrade in some regions. And our hope to see EMUI 14.2 for some excellent old flagship is still alive. But the OEM hasn’t made any official announcement on this matter yet.

Nova 10 series has recently gained the major HarmonyOS 4.2 update with immersive themes and some other productive features. The company has also added significant privacy tools that protect users’ data from malicious applications.

As of now, Huawei is treating the Nova 10 series with the July 2024 security update. The company is releasing the new firmware with HarmonyOS version 4.2.0.142 and a medium-sized software package that weighs 460 Megabytes.

The changelog only has new security patches released this month. Other than that, there aren’t any notable additions to the device. Yet, the phone owners will observe a bug-free and more stable functioning after installing the newest build.

Huawei Nova 10 series has gained the HarmonyOS 4.2 benefits. The device came out of the box with HarmonyOS 2.0 and obtained many new upgrades. But whether this brilliant lineup will get the HarmonyOS NEXT upgrade is still a big question.

Moreover, global Nova 10 users are also looking for a major software treatment, just like the Chinese variants. The tech giant hasn’t shared EMUI 14.2 “phase 2” roadmap yet. Hence, it’s unclear if the device will receive new software offerings globally.

HarmonyOS NEXT developer beta 2 is live for the top flagship models. As per reports, the company could release the first consumer beta next month. Thus, we can expect to hear more details about the HarmonyOS NEXT eligibility criteria for Huawei devices.

In case you have not received this update or the EMUI 14 firmware yet, then don’t worry. The company is rolling out the major version in a phased rollout. Hence, it may take some time to cover all the eligible units in the global regions.

With this update, the company has added one more device to the “EMUI 14.2 received” list. However, some eligible devices are still left to obtain this major offering and enjoy a new phase, interactive themes, as well as productive features on board.

Also, it is yet to confirm if Huawei will include more phones and old flagship models to the EMUI 14.2 device list in the time ahead or not. If not all, the company should consider at least the very efficient Mate 40 Pro and P40 Pro in this case!

The company also surprised Mate Xs 2 users by serving the newest 14.2 build ahead of many flagship models. P50 Pro is the latest one to join this software batch.

Still many eligible devices have not received the ticket to EMUI 14.2 upgrade. Mate 40 Pro phone users have also locked their eyes on whether they will receive a major update in the future. Read why the device deserves EMUI 14.2 – HERE.

HarmonyOS 4.2 distribution has almost completed in China but the wait continues for global tablet and wearable users. Things may proceed gradually in this case.

The third-party library patches mainly include fixes for vulnerabilities that were affecting HarmonyOS 2.1 and above versions as well as EMUI 12 and above versions. The company mended a total of 24 high and 4 medium levels of CVEs in this section.

High:

• CVE-2024-31310, CVE-2024-31314, CVE-2024-31315, CVE-2024-31316, CVE-2024-31317, CVE-2024-31318, CVE-2024-31319, CVE-2024-31324, CVE-2024-31325, CVE-2024-31311, CVE-2024-31313, CVE-2024-31327, CVE-2024-26926, CVE-2024-0671, CVE-2024-23351, CVE-2024-1067, CVE-2023-40093, CVE-2024-23709, CVE-2024-0024, CVE-2024-0025, CVE-2024-23705, CVE-2024-0043, CVE-2024-23712, CVE-2024-0019

The post Huawei publishes EMUI and HarmonyOS July 2024 security patch details appeared first on Huawei Central.

Mate 40 Pro came out of the box with Android 10-based EMUI 11 in October 2020. Over time, the company upgraded the device to EMUI 12 with interactive features. For instance, Multi-Device Task Viewer, Super Device, App Snippets, and more.

The old flagship currently runs on EMUI 13. Meanwhile, the company is constantly treating it with new security patches, bug fixes, as well as useful improvements.

Even after four years, the device is working effectively without causing many issues. Although a few points have made Mate 40 Pro users concerned about whether their charming smartphone will fetch the major EMUI 14 upgrade in the future.

Starting with regular security rollouts, Huawei has removed Mate 40 Pro from both monthly and quarterly update lists. This implies that the phone has reached the ‘Phased out’ stage and might receive only minor improvements in the time ahead.

Another reason is that Huawei has still not offered the EMUI 13.1 update to the Mate 40 Pro smartphones. The 13.1 version packs more impressive add-ons than the 13th build. It comes with smoother animations, camera upgrades, and more changes.

Next, the phone maker has not listed the device in the official EMUI 14 beta-eligible models. Hence, this led to the dilemma if Huawei Mate 40 Pro will get EMUI 14.

Chances for EMUI 14:

Now let’s take a look at why Mate 40 Pro still seems eligible for EMUI 14. The device uses Kirin 9000 5G chipset. It is still capable of running multiple operations simultaneously without leading to lag, buffer, or unnecessary freezing of any kind.

Huawei has released only two significant EMUI upgrades for the Mate 40 Pro devices so far. Thus, the phone could run at least one more major build like EMUI 14.

HarmonyOS 4.2 in China

The Chinese phone maker has already released HarmonyOS 4.2 for Mate 40 Pro users in its home ground. It now holds several new features like an anti-false alarm for malicious apps, a WLAN network switch, better security upgrades, and new themes.

A report also noted that Huawei is testing HarmonyOS NEXT-based apps with Mate 40 Pro devices. With the newest software releases in China, the company has shown that the respective device is still eligible for new updates.

EMUI 14.2 upgrade roadmap shows only 13 devices for the time being. It only counts the top flagships alongside a few Nova models. Thus we expect that the tech giant may expand this rollout to more devices in the coming weeks. Still, it depends on Huawei if it brings EMUI 14 for this phone or not.

Whatever the decision is, we will keep you posted with the latest software development on this subject. Stay tuned.
