As we know, After the Trump government forced ban, Huawei did not allow to participate in the last year’s Android 11 developer preview program. And still, the ban is not lifted.

Meanwhile, if you are a Huawei user, unfortunately, you cannot experience the Android 12 based EMUI 12 on your smartphone. But, you do not need to sad because, as per reports, Huawei is working on its own OS, which looks like Android but still is the core OS.
