Huawei introduced HarmonyOS 4.0, the latest version of the operating system, on August 4. The new iteration brought new features and improvements, as well as various changes to the user interface. Huawei is quickly rolling out new software to eligible devices. Earlier this month, we reported that 10 million Huawei smartphones and tablets are currently running HarmonyOS 4.0. And today the company confirmed that the operating system is now available on more than 60 million devices.
Huawei announced that 60 million HarmonyOS 4 installations have been made on Huawei smartphones and tablets during the presentation of its flagship product in the fall of 2023. The company said it adds an average of 1.2 million new users every day. This happened less than 2 months after the official announcement of the software.
HarmonyOS 4.0 brings many significant changes, including various enhanced theme templates and stylized layout design. You can choose app icon colors and set emoji wallpapers and home screens by selecting your favorite emojis.
It also allows you to better manage your notifications by grouping them and sorting them by importance. Notifications for a single app are now organized into dynamic cards, so you can see more information about each notification without opening it. HarmonyOS 4.0 also allows you to select text and images by double-clicking and holding.
Huawei had a busy day today. It has launched half a dozen new products in China, including the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design smartphone with satellite connectivity and a ceramic body. Additionally, the company introduced the FreeBuds Pro 3 headphones as well as the Watch GT 4.
