Huawei may no longer sell Android smartphones with Google services in Europe and is slowly disappearing from the market here, but with Android 13 a technology from the Chinese manufacturer is making a return that makes every new smartphone faster.

Huawei makes all Android 13 smartphones faster

Huawei has been using a lean file system called “Enhanced Read-Only File System” – EROFS for short – for its smartphones since 2019. In presenting the new file system, Huawei demonstrated the advantages of this technology. The read times of the memory should increase by 20 percent and thus make the smartphone noticeably faster. In addition, storage space should be saved, so that you have more space for personal data. Exactly this technology is used in new Android 13 smartphones (source: espers).

The technology has been available for several years, but has only been used by Huawei itself. You could feel that, because the Huawei phones were always very fast despite the extensive surface. Even after many months of use, they didn’t slow down. This was partly thanks to EROFS. new smartphones, that appear directly with Android 13 will now switch directly to Huawei’s new file system and thus have noticeably better performance.

All this applies not only to Pixel phones, but also for smartphones from Oppo or Xiaomi. Better performance can therefore be expected in future smartphone generations. There is a lot of interest because you can get a faster device with relatively little effort.

Huawei can still keep up with smartwatches:

Huawei will soon be in every Android cell phone

Although Huawei basically no longer plays a role in Android smartphones in Europe, the Chinese manufacturer’s development will make new Android 13 smartphones faster. We’ll have to wait and see how strong the influence will really be. The differences will probably be looked at in more detail towards the end of the year when some Android 13 smartphones have been released.
