The human-centred design makes interaction fun and easy
The new-generation Always-On Display (AOD) on EMUI 11 integrates three elements of art – shape, colour and space – into the design. Beyond adding artistic flair to the experience, the new AOD allows users to personalise the shapes to their tastes, and even go beyond the default colour palette and use colours from photos of their choice for their own custom design.
On top of this, EMUI 11 allows users to add a personal twist to the AOD by setting an animated GIF image as a lock screen background.
EMUI 11 on HUAWEI Mate 40 Series also supports Eyes On Display, which leverages the 3D Depth Sensing Camera and Gesture Sensor to detect the user’s attention. With a just glance, users can light up the screen and triggers the AOD animation.
First introduced on EMUI 10, Smart Gesture Control now supports more gestures on EMUI 11. The new additions are more versatile and are applicable in even more scenarios. Holding a palm over the screen prompts it to display the time, even when the screen is locked. Air swipes can now be used for scrolling and page-turning in e-books, news, music, image gallery and video apps.
A pressing motion lets users pick up incoming calls and control media playback, and vertical swipes can be used to adjust the volume when listening to music. Furthermore, the ringtone volume of an incoming call is automatically lowered when the user is looking at the screen.
Multi-screen Collaboration now supports multiple floating windows
With EMUI 11, the HUAWEI Mate 40 Series applies the convenience of the smartphone’s multi-window interaction onto Multi-screen Collaboration, making it possible to open three different smartphone apps on a connected PC.
Improvements made to Smart Multi-Window enable EMUI 11 to support multiple windows simultaneously on your smartphone, offering an option for users to tailor their experience to their preferences and maximise productivity. Users can watch a video, while browsing webpages on a floating window, with no need to exit the video or leave the current interface.
EMUI 11 also introduces the all-new Email Conversation Mode, which converts traditional email threads into conversations. This feature hides redundant parts of conventional emails – such as lengthy sign-offs – from sight and puts the focus on the conversation, allowing users to quickly read emails as they would with messages, or just as easily reply with text and files.
MeeTime is now available in 12 countries outside mainland China, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Poland.
