Unexpectedly, Huawei unveiled the EMUI 13 firmware. It is made for business smartphones that are sold outside of China because HarmonyOS is only available on Chinese devices.
The fact that EMUI 13 was released shortly after HarmonyOS 3.0 was unveiled is not a coincidence because the new global firmware version has many interface elements that were taken from the Chinese version. But there have been some new features as well.
