Huawei has now launched the Huawei Nova 8 in Russia and the page listing of this phone reveals that it comes with “EMUI 12” as the operating system.
In December 2020, Huawei launched the Huawei Nova 8 and Nova 8 Pro devices. The standard version comes with a 6.57-inch display, 90Hz refresh rate, Kirin 985 chip, 66W charging, 64MP quad rear camera, 32MP selfie camera, EMUI 11, and display fingerprint.

For your information, Huawei Nova 8 has already completed the HarmonyOS 2 stable upgrade in China. Yet, Huawei launching this phone with EMUI 12 label seems pretty odd, a software that is not announced.
This new version is almost the same as its Chinese counterpart except it comes with the Kirin 820E processor (6-core, 3 × Cortex-A76 2.22 GHz + 3 × Cortex-A55 1.84 GH, Mali-G57) instead of a 7nm Kirin 985 chip with 5G access.
Back in June, Huawei gave us hint regarding the next version of EMUI – EMUI 12. However, the reference was quite ambitious and later was removed from its origin of place but it has surely made us scratch our heads for a second.
The first question that we had, is how could the company launch a new EMUI version when it’s about to enter the HarmonyOS world? This question remained unanswered but there’s something interesting that has just appeared.
