Huawei EMUI 11: Be Brilliant Together, Human factors-based UX design

At the HDC (Huawei Developer Conference) 2020, Huawei launched EMUI 11. The key features of the new operating system, includes the human factors-based user experience (UX) design, new privacy and security features and improved all-scenario experiences.

Artistic design

In product design, perfection is achieved where art meets science and, with EMUI 11, Huawei strikes an ideal balance between the two. The new artistic design offers a breath of fresh air, while the transitions and UI interactions have been optimized for human factors to improve the user experience.

EMUI 11 offers a canvas for users to express their boundless creativity with new Always-On Display (AOD) options. The new AOD lets users customise their screen with a personal flair by using modern art. Inspired by the work of the renowned painter Piet Mondrian, the new AOD is adopted with a primary colour palette of red, yellow and blue.

New user experiences:

All-scenario features powered by Huawei’s distributed technology, such as MeeTime and Multi-Screen Collaboration, have already become signature features of EMUI. This innovative technology enables devices to virtualise and share their software capabilities with each other. Users are no longer bound by hardware limitations and are free to customise their experience based on their individual needs and preferences.

Multi-Screen Collaboration now supports up to three active windows. It enables better synergy between PCs and tablets. Once a connection is established, the tablet can act as an external webcam or second screen for the PC, while the PC can share its input peripherals with the tablet.

Documents saved on the PC can be edited directly through the tablet, either with touch inputs or a stylus for illustrations. In a business meeting, users can easily mark-up presentation slides as and when they are needed to help them explain their ideas or use the second screen to look-up additional information to facilitate discussions.

More Privacy:

The EMUI has always featured comprehensive security solutions to protect Huawei device users. On the system level, EMUI’s TEE OS kernel obtained the highest level of CC EAL5 +, which is the highest commercial OS microkernel security level in the world. Huawei strictly complies with local and international regulations on user privacy, including GDPR and GAPP, and the company received certifications including but not limited to ISO27701 and ePrivacyseal.

These are some of the most influential privacy protection certifications in Europe. All these certifications serve as a testimony to Huawei’s commitment to global standards across the full product lifecycle – from design, R&D and maintenance – and protecting user privacy.

EMUI 11 also comes with new privacy features. When transferring images, users can easily purge the file of all sensitive personal data such as location, time and device details before it is sent. Encrypted memos also keep personal notes personal by securing the content with a PIN or biometric lock.
