EMUI (formerly known as Emotion UI) is an interface based on Android developed by Chinese technology company Huawei, used on the company's smartphones primarily globally.

Since late 2019, beginning with the Mate 30, EMUI devices sold internationally have used Huawei Mobile Services, such as the Huawei AppGallery, instead of Google Mobile Services, following United States sanctions imposed during the trade war against China from May 2019.
