Huawei: HarmonyOS PCs will support sideloading.
Good news for HarmonyOS PC users! You will soon be able to sideload apps on your devices. Huawei recently confirmed this change, making it easier to install apps and offering better improvements for their computer lineup.
Huawei’s tablet and PC boss, Zhu Dongdong, shared some news: upcoming HarmonyOS computers will let you install apps from outside their official store.
Sideloading means installing apps on your phone or computer from places other than the official app store. Think of it like getting an app from a friend’s website or another app store instead of the one built into your device.
Sideloading is useful when you can not find a specific app in your device’s app store or if you want to use a modified version. Just remember, installing apps this way can sometimes expose your data to security risks.
In accordance with Huawei’s Zhu Dongdong, while HarmonyOS PCs will gain app sideloading capabilities, it is not happening immediately. He emphasized that building a highly secure environment for notebooks is a top priority, and sideloading will only become an option after those security enhancements are fully implemented.
We will be able to sideload apps on our computers, but we need to improve them first. It is a gradual process. We can do it, it’s just not enabled for everyone yet. Once our features and security are strong, and enough people are using our products, we will make it possible.
“Initially, HarmonyOS PCs did not support app sideloading because of ongoing challenges with security and product development. However, the company is optimistic that future improvements will enable this feature.
Get ready! HarmonyOS PCs will soon let you install apps that are not from their official app store.
Amid ongoing work on new smartphones, Huawei continues its regular security maintenance by releasing the November 2025 patch details for EMUI and HarmonyOS. The update resolves numerous security vulnerabilities across a variety of eligible devices.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS 6.0 Beta has been installed over 3 million times in its first 24 hours, setting a new record. Chairman Richard Yu announced the milestone, signaling strong early adoption for the software ahead of its official launch.
Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO, Richard Yu, today disclosed significant company milestones via an internal letter on the Xinsheng Community. The communication outlined notable achievements across Huawei’s product portfolio in recent months.
In accordance with Richard Yu, Huawei’s software development this year has been notably successful. He revealed that HarmonyOS NEXT has already reached over 23 million installations, a figure current as of October 22, 2025.
The achievement underscores the company’s resilience in the face of critical circumstances. Yu elaborated on the rigorous development process for their inaugural operating system, a journey driven by a commitment to fulfill user demands.
The chief said that HarmonyOS 6 is something even bigger as it completed 3 million installation within 24 hours of its release, making a new record in the software field.
HarmonyOS is not just something made, it’s something used! HarmonyOS 6 received 3 million upgrades within 24 hours of its release, setting a new record for upgrade speed!”
The new version is full of significant features like AI-powered one-tap video.

The company’s next objective is to “quickly achieve 40 million, 60 million, and even 100 million user coverage,” stated Richard Yu. He further added that this expansion is crucial to securing a one-third share of the smartphone operating system market.
We must remain true to our original aspirations, focus on user experience, and truly practice our ecosystem culture. […] Each of us can contribute a brick, and together we will build the Great Wall of the HarmonyOS ecosystem! When the mountain flowers bloom, we will raise a glass to celebrate our victory!”

As Huawei prepares to launch its new HarmonyOS 6.0 PC next month, all eyes are on its promised “interesting upgrades” and a dedicated “tablet mode.” Could this be the convertible that challenges the market? We will find out when it debuts with the Mate 80 series.
The upcoming device is likely the MateBook E 2025, continuing the legacy of Huawei’s first consumer detachable PC. True to its 2-in-1 form factor, it offers the best of both worlds: a full laptop experience with its detachable keyboard and a “handy tablet” for on-the-go use.
Huawei is supercharging its 2-in-1 PC! The upgrades are major: a shift to the HarmonyOS operating system, a powerful new Kirin PC chip, and a bespoke tablet mode for seamless use.
Weibo tipster @FixedFocus has revealed that the upcoming 2-in-1 PC is very innovative, compared to its first-generation model. It will have a new tablet mode that will enable users to directly slide into the tablet interface without any major adjustments.

What will this new tablet mode actually do? While details are still under wraps, it will likely deliver a fluid and intuitive experience—seamlessly switching between PC and tablet, all within a clean, uncluttered interface designed for ultimate ease of use.
Adding more, the tipster mentioned that the Huawei MateBook E 2025 2-in-1 PC may debut together with the flagship Mate 80 smartphones this month.
Huawei’s shift to in-house technologies like its own OS and processor appears to come with a higher cost. The upcoming model is expected to be priced around 8,000 yuan, a substantial premium over the 5,999 yuan starting price of the original MateBook E, reflecting these significant underlying changes.
