It was nature, the world’s greatest artist of all time that inspired us to create the look & feel of some of Huawei’s best-selling devices. We have been taking cues from nature and the best of the best in design and art to create the surface of the P20 device.

Have you ever wondered, whether your software (or product) could be as beautiful as nature and touch humans in a similar way? At Huawei when we updated EMUI and gave it its own ‘hallmark’ look and feel — different from anything that the world had seen before — we turned to nature again and got inspired by both, nature’s palette and forms.

Meet EMUI 11

Even years later after I left Huawei, the design improvements that my guidelines helped establish, still dominate the most recent designs of the company’s DNA. At Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2020 (Together), Huawei consumer launched its latest EMUI version, EMUI 11.

The new features of EMUI 11 include the artistic Always on Display designs and clock themes, improved multi-window mode, smoother UI animations, better multi-screen collaboration, and more.
