Nebo - Preinstalled versions - How to upgrade

Guidance on Managing Nebo Updates for Lenovo and Huawei Devices


Lenovo Devices

If Nebo is pre-installed (Nebo 4.0.16) on your Lenovo tablet and you are unsure about updates or transitioning to newer versions (Nebo 5.8) , follow these steps:

Checking for System Updates

Lenovo manages all updates for pre-installed apps. If you do not see a system update for your device:

  1. Verify if your device is eligible for updates by visiting the Lenovo Support Site.
  2. Contact Lenovo support to inquire about update availability for your device.

Exploring the Latest Version of Nebo

To access the latest Nebo features, you can:

  • Download the trial version of Nebo 6 from the Google Play Store (limited to a few pages).
  • Purchase the full Nebo app from the Google Play Store, enabling unlimited access and installation on other Android devices linked to the same Google ID.

Backing Up Your Nebo Library

Important! Before performing an OS update or switching to a new version of Nebo:

  1. Open Settings in the Nebo side panel.
  2. Select Backup & Restore.
  3. Choose:
    • Sync and Backup: Syncs your library with the cloud and creates a backup.
    • Backup Only: Creates a local backup (Android users must store it externally).
  4. For cloud backups, ensure you're signed in with a MyScript account:
    • Access Settings > Account and create/sign into an account.
    • Enable syncing to a preferred cloud service.

After an Update

Once the OS or app update is complete:

  1. Open Nebo and log in to your MyScript account.
  2. Check if your library is intact. If notes are missing, restore them from the backup created earlier.

Important Nebo 6 updates:

Lenovo has updated certain 2023/2024 devices from Nebo version 4.0.16 to version 5.8.10. However, based on the information available, Lenovo does not currently plan to upgrade these devices to Nebo 6.

Nebo 6.0 is expected to launch with new Lenovo devices in 2025, as announced at CES 2025. This process is similar to how Android updates work—a device might come with Android 13, receive an update to Android 14, but not be eligible for Android 15.

Please be aware that decisions regarding updates for pre-installed apps on Lenovo devices are solely managed by Lenovo. MyScript, the creators of Nebo, does not have control or influence over this process.

If you’re interested in exploring Nebo 6.4 or superior on your Lenovo device, you can download a free trial version with limited pages from the Google Play Store or opt to purchase the full application for unlimited access.


Huawei Devices

Huawei initially preinstalled Nebo 3 on some of their devices running the Android operating system. However, they have since discontinued updates for these devices and transitioned to their proprietary Harmony OS. This shift has significant implications, as Harmony OS does not support the Google Play Store. Consequently, Huawei devices can no longer download the Nebo app.


If you cannot access Nebo on a Huawei device:

  • Contact Huawei Support or call 950800 for assistance.
  • Nebo is no longer included on Huawei devices. If you have access to the Google Play Store, purchase Nebo to use the latest version.
