Earlier this month, Huawei held a product launch conference in which it officially released the HarmonyOS 2.0. The company also revealed the list of models that will be receiving this update. Now, a tipster has claimed that certain older models of Huawei and Honor smartphones will be receiving the upgrade to the proprietary OS sooner.
According to an online post from @长安数码君 on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, the smartphone maker will be making the new operating system available a quarter sooner than the announced rollout plan. Although, the early rollout will only be applicable for certain older models. Furthermore, the tipster added that the internal testing for moels like the Huawei P30 series and Honor 30 and V30 series have already started this month due to smooth developments.
Similarly, the Chinese tech giant will apparently begin the public testing phase for HarmonyOS in July 2021. Reportedly, the company’s R&D team is working overtime in three shifts to ensure that long time users receive the update as soon as possible. In other words, we can expect certain older models to like the Honor 30 series to receive the update in the third quarter of this year rather than the previously announced fourth quarter.
Keep in mind, this is still an unconfirmed report so take this new with a pinch of salt for now. The company might announce the change in update schedule soon, so stay tuned for more, as we will provide updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.
