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.

EMUI 14.2 is available for the first batch of devices that have participated in the recent EMUI beta program. But the interesting point is that it is an unlimited rollout and even reaching those who were out of the beta pool, waiting for public testing.

Being a special rollout, Huawei is releasing EMUI 14.2 to both beta and non-beta users. The first difference you will notice in the latest firmware is the software size.

Users who have installed the first EMUI 14 beta will receive the 14.2 build with a small package say 500-600MB. Those upgrading from the EMUI 13.1 version will be required to download a 6.35GB downloadable pack to enjoy the latest features.

Features:

Another difference lies in the changelog. EMUI 14.2 isn’t much different from the EMUI 14 version, except for more customization and fun. It packs some amazing themes-related capabilities to enrich the interaction and user interface for users.

Huawei phone users on EMUI 14 beta will get a new security patch with a few system stability enhancements. Whereas, those with EMUI 13.1 as a baseline build will fetch a huge changelog with similar features to the EMUI 14 beta software.

The Chinese tech giant often shifts devices from monthly to quarterly update cycles depending on their compatibility as well as software advancement. This ultimately helps in keeping the handset productive as well as reliable for consumers.

And the May 2024 EMUI security patch is no exception to this theory. It is worth noting that the firm has not yet begun the rollout of the new safety improvement package, as it is still working on the April 2024 firmware release for left-out devices.

But we expect that Huawei will soon bring the May 2024 update for EMUI-powered devices to the global market. By the time, we suggest you keep an eye on the system settings so that you may not miss any of the new versions arriving for your handset.

EMUI 14:

EMUI 14.2 is currently shipping with the Huawei Pura 70 series and it’s available for global users in line with the Chinese versions of HarmonyOS 4.2 with similar functionality.

EMUI 14 was the first version that Huawei prioritized for new personalization options including the live weather, magazine themes, and emoji wallpapers. EMUI 14.2 takes the lock screen and themes experience two steps further with its new interactiveness.

Focusing on the interactive part, some themes now have touch responses that will perform certain sets of animations or actions. For example, a theme will pop objects in the air once you tap on the screen. Then the object comes back to settle and you can reiterate this.

Similarly, you can play games on the lock screen with a tennis theme with simple touch inputs to pass the ball from one side to another. Furthermore, the emoji theme will also receive some new improvements with EMUI 14.2 using touch controls.

These are just three examples and there might be more interactive themes that are shipped with EMUI 14.2.

EMUI 14.2 interactive themes

In Watch:

Huawei shipped this feature first with HarmonyOS 4 for smartwatches. Customers can play games and interact with the lock screen of the smartwatch with taps and long presses.

Adding this feature on smartphones brings a better experience and improves the personalization capability of the software. The interactive themes remain exclusive to the Huawei Pura 70 series but it may come soon to the other EMUI phone users with a software upgrade. However, there are no dates available for the rollout.

Devices like Mate X3, P60 Pro, and Mate 50 Pro have already tasted the beta flavor of the EMUI 14. Now it’s the turn for the P50 Pro users to inspect the software version.

Huawei P50 Pro is receiving the EMUI 14 beta update with the 14.0.0.136 version. Users need to compromise a storage space of 6.42 Gigabytes to download the new firmware. We also suggest using a standard WiFi connection to install the upgrade.

Being a beta version, the update might affect your smartphone’s data and erase it. Hence it is better to opt for a backup beforehand to avoid any kind of data loss.

The EMUI 14 beta changelog has interesting UI and system stability features that breathe new life into your device. Users will find eye-catching themes, the ability to check the real-time status of apps, SuperHub, and smoother app animations.
