The post These 74 Huawei devices installed HarmonyOS 3 [List] appeared first on Huawei Central.

Yes, the aim is quite big but if we look into the progress that this software has made over the past three years, the company has already achieved many milestones that we can’t ignore.

How?

Let’s dive into the past installations, Huawei achieved over 200 million installations by the end of 2021 but it was only for Huawei devices. Meanwhile, HarmonyOS Connect, an operating system for third-party company products, launched 100+ million fresh devices with HarmonyOS pre-installed.

Moving to 2022, Huawei posted a heavy 320 million HarmonyOS installation mark in its own devices, and then HarmonyOS Connect launched with 250+ million third-party products.

Stepping further, OpenHarmony, an open-source version of HarmonyOS has also come so far to show its worth in the tech industry and made rapid growth in the last two years after its submission to OpenAtom open-source foundation.

The combined weight of HarmonyOS for Huawei devices and HarmonyOS Connect stands above
570 million devices, which is the biggest single-year growth made by any operating system. However, the actual number may have been around 700 million.

2023:

This year, Huawei may expand HarmonyOS in the global market and launch new products. On the other hand, HarmonyOS Connect could surpass the biggest figure, which seems more exciting.

According to inputs, OpenHarmony could post new records, as it’s used by various major Chinese tech players to use for different purposes. With all of these combined, HarmonyOS could successfully aim at 2 billion devices by the end of 2023.

HarmonyOS:

Launched in 2019, HarmonyOS is a multi-kernel operating system, designed and developed by Huawei and later donated to the OpenAtom foundation.

In 2020, Huawei announced HarmonyOS for smartphones and expand it widely next year. HarmonyOS is known for its easy-to-use user interface and multi-device connection features.

It’s known as an IoT operating system, which could run across the lowest possible specifications such as 128kb of RAM. That’s how it is being used in all sorts of products in the Chinese market and it’s expected to grow further this year.

Let’s dive into key HarmonyOS 3 features for Huawei Router devices.

Its new child activity detection capability will allow you to check the child device’s internet connectivity status. This will feature also let you disconnect any connected devices with one click.

Why are we saying this? Because Huawei has not yet revealed the secret EMUI 13 rollout roadmap, which usually appears in December of each year. This is quite awaited for old Huawei phone users, who want to get this new upgrade.

Still, we don’t have the slightest clue of what Huawei wants to give to its global smartphone users, and actually, the question is “When?”. Meanwhile, Huawei is still running EMUI 12 on smartphones, which was released in 2021.

HarmonyOS 3:

Amid this extended wait for EMUI 13, Huawei is seamlessly conducting HarmonyOS 3 installation in China. The tech maker has already completed installation on old smartphones with a rapid effect.

As of now, there are over 50 Huawei phones already received HarmonyOS 3 operating system in the homeland. While the company keeps on testing this update via beta activity.

It’s good to see that Huawei is providing the latest software build to device users but global smartphones deserve such attention and better treatment.

Others:

If we look at other smartphone makers, despite running on the latest Android beta software,  these companies have already delivered new Android-based software for flagship devices through the OTA method. On the flip side, Huawei flagships are still operating on EMUI 12.

Why it matters?

Because EMUI 13 is currently limited to Huawei Mate 50 Pro and the listed details reveal that EMUI 13 brings a lot of new features to the table. For instance, the large folders now have more functionality such as new layout options. Furthermore, there are improvements to the performance.

Looking at some details, EMUI 13 will debut service widgets for global users, which was available since HarmonyOS 2 release. This EMUI version will also focus on the security and privacy sector of the smartphone.

This update won’t erase your phone’s data but it is still recommended that you back up all important data to your PC or cloud before downloading the latest version, and confirm that the backup content is complete.

To be mentioned, some third-party mobile apps may not be compatible with HarmonyOS. Therefore, it is recommended that you try to update the apps to the latest version via AppGallery.

Following the upgrade, the phone may produce heat, lag, or slow charging. This is caused by some self-optimization and adaptation actions performed by the system after the upgrade. Be assured that it will recover by itself after some time.

Your phone needs to have 8GB of internal storage and the installation package will be automatically deleted after the update without taking up storage space.

The rollback operation will erase all data, please backup all important data to the PC before rollback or the cloud, and confirm that the backup content is complete and valid.

After the rollback upgrade is completed, the phone will restart. Please wait patiently for about 10 minutes. After the rollback is successful, the default theme of HarmonyOS 2 will be displayed on the home screen of the phone.
