Huawei has announced a new rollout schedule for HarmonyOS 4 in Q1 2024, as several smartwatches are still waiting for the major software update.

Huawei released HarmonyOS 4 in early August, with new features and capabilities. The company initially announced a beta program for the Huawei Watch 4 series and completed the stable rollout to all users on November 1st.

The Huawei Watch GT 4 is the first Huawei smartwatch to come with HarmonyOS 4 pre-installed. Customers of this wearable get all of the new features out of the box. The latest super-premium Watch Ultimate Design still runs HarmonyOS 3, but it will also be updated to HarmonyOS 4 in Q1 2024.

Huawei Watch 3 and Watch 3 Pro, which are relatively new, will receive the HarmonyOS 4 upgrade. This includes special edition and limited edition smartwatches as well. You can check the full list of eligible smartwatches getting this update in early 2024.

The following Huawei smartwatches are scheduled to receive HarmonyOS 4 in 2024:

• Huawei Watch GT 3
• Huawei Watch GT 3 Porsche Design
• Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro
• Huawei Watch GT 2022 Collector’s Edition
• Huawei Watch 3 Pro
• Huawei Watch 3 Pro New
• Huawei Watch 3 Pro Collector’s Edition
• Huawei Watch Buds
• Huawei Watch GT Runner
• Huawei Watch GT Cyber

Huawei has already installed HarmonyOS 4 on all its previously launched smartphones, but more devices are still being cleared for the upgrade.

HarmonyOS 4 for smartwatches brings a new live window feature, which is unique to HarmonyOS 3. Huawei has also added new animations and watch face customizations to improve the user experience. Interactive dials such as Astronaut can even be played as games.

Great news for Huawei P30 and Mate 20 series users! Huawei has just revealed that they can now upgrade their 5-year-old flagship phones to HarmonyOS 4. This update will bring fresh features and performance enhancements, giving these devices a new lease on life.

Huawei P30 and Mate 20 users have been clamoring for the HarmonyOS 4 upgrade, but it was unclear if it would be available for their devices. The initial HarmonyOS 4 roadmap didn’t mention these phones, but Huawei has now announced that they will be eligible for the upgrade.

Huawei P30 and Mate 20 series phones are the latest Huawei phones to have Google Mobile Services (GMS). They are also the most popular Huawei phones in the market until the Mate 60 series. The P30 series was launched in 2019 with EMUI 9.1, while the Mate 20 series was launched in 2018 with EMUI 9.0. After upgrading to EMUI 11, Huawei transitioned these phones to HarmonyOS 2 and later to HarmonyOS 3 in China.

 

Huawei P30 and Mate 20 users around the world are currently on EMUI 12, and there’s no official word on when EMUI 13 will arrive for them. However, the big surprise is that Huawei has announced they’ll get HarmonyOS 4 in the first quarter of 2024. This is unusual because it’s not common for a company to update five-year-old devices with new software.

The HarmonyOS 4 update will bring new features and a better user experience to these old smartphones. It is a testament to Huawei’s commitment to supporting its devices for a long time.

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro has received a recent HarmonyOS 4.0.0.115 update, which includes a 1.30GB package size. The update brings a simplified and fresh user experience.

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro was released internationally on October 22, 2020, and in its home country on October 30 of the same year.

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro comes with the EMUI 11 operating system, a powerful 5G Kirin 9000 chip (also available in a 4G version), a 6.76-inch curved screen with a 2772*1344 resolution, a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, and quick 240Hz touch response. It offers P3 color support and features 3D face recognition and under-screen fingerprint unlocking.

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro features a 50-megapixel main camera, a 20-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 12-megapixel 5X periscope lens. It offers 7x optical zoom capability compared to the ultra-wide-angle lens.

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro has a 4400mAh battery and supports fast charging: 66W wired, 50W wireless, and reverse wireless charging.
