Update, May 5, 2020 (3:24 AM ET): The Huawei P40 series is receiving yet another software update. This one brings EMUI version 10.1.0.126 to the P40 and P40 Pro phones.
The update adds a telephoto picture-in-picture preview interface to the phone. The feature makes it easier to see what you’re zooming into while clicking photos with the telephoto lens by adding a preview window to the camera app. This preview interface pops up when you zoom 15x or more.
The new software version also optimizes the quality of photos with more realistic and natural colors. The “AI Remove Passerby” feature which removes unwanted people from images also gets better with the update.
In addition, it improves Wi-Fi speeds and optimizes the display effect of notifications on the notification panel.
The new EMUI update is currently rolling out in China and a wider rollout can be expected soon.

Huawei launched the three Huawei P40 flagships on March 26, 2020. The Huawei P40 and P40 Pro went on sale globally on April 7. The Huawei P40 Pro Plus will go on sale in June 2020.
Both the P40 and P40 Pro launched with EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10. Like most flagships, these phones are expected to receive two major software updates in their lifetime.
The P40 series doesn’t have any of the familiar Google apps or the Google Play Store owing to the ongoing US ban. Instead, the phones feature Huawei Mobile Services and the Huawei App Gallery.
The first update for the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro landed on April 8, one day after the phones went on sale. According to Huawei Central, the update brought the March 2020 security patch to the phones. It also added a Golden Snap feature to the camera which chooses the best shot based on facial and posture recognition. The mode also captures moving pictures in 4K and helps you edit out extra people.
In addition, the first update also optimized the video recording feature, added the Sound Booster and Find My Phone features, optimized fingerprint unlock, and enhanced overall performance of the phones.
A second update for the Huawei flagships reportedly landed on April 20. The OTA is 711MB in size and updates the P40 and P40 Pro to EMUI version 10.1.0.122. This update has been released in China and is expected to roll out to other countries soon.
The latest update adds a new AI 50MP camera mode. With this mode, the 50MP camera on the phones takes a bunch of images and combines them into one for better quality shots.
The update also adds a new condensed color scheme clock style for the Always on Display and brings other display and system stability improvements.
