In designing this user interface, we spoke to consumers to find out what they wanted from their smartphones, the type of experiences they sought when interacting with their devices and what we, as consumers ourselves, want from our smartphones. The team was very conscious about placing people before technology. We believe that it is only through listening to what consumers want and need that we can truly develop products that they will love," said Dennis Poon, Global UI Design Director, Huawei Device.

The Emotion UI showcase at IFA 2012 provided a glimpse of what consumers can expect from the final product. Emotion UI improves usability and provides a much simpler navigational experience for users. It enables users to customize the design and functions of their smartphone home page to suit their personal needs, in addition to simplifying folder functions for easier management of applications. "Me Widget" allows users to combine all the information and functions they need in a single, customizable widget while "Smart Tutorial" acts as a comprehensive support tool to help entry-level users get up to speed with their phone's features in the shortest time possible.

Post-IFA, Emotion UI will enter the next phase of its development, driven further by consumer wants and needs. From August 30, 2012, Huawei will call for consumer and user feedback for use in the UI design and development process. Consumers can download the Chinese version of Emotion UI via http://ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php from August 30 and provide feedback by emailing emotion@huawei.com. The English version of the UI will be available for download in Q4, 2012. Consumers can watch a demo video of Emotion UI at www.youtube.com/HuaweiDeviceCo or access more information via the Emotion UI Facebook page www.facebook.com/Huaweiemui.
