HarmonyOS 3.0 beta rollouts were originally scheduled for March with stable releases following in July but it now looks that the timeline may be pushed back a bit. According to a report by IT Home, the next big update from Huawei is yet to come out of the developer testing stage, let alone go into beta testing.

Huawei had announced developer previews of HarmonyOS 3.0 last year with an aim to ease the development process in order to woo developers and deploy the OS to even more devices. It also released API 7 and ArkUI that together help devs to develop applications for the system more efficiently.

Still, based on a China Central Television report demonstrating HarmonyOS 3.0’s “Intelligent Connectivity of Everything” principle, the update will be released soon enough. The demo showed a Huawei phone pairing with and controlling various smart home appliances simply with a tap of the phone onto the appliance.

An example use case is when you are looking into the mirror, the phone’s screen can be mirrored onto the mirror, so you can continue your chit-chat while washing your face or applying makeup.

Huawei’s Hongmeng Zhilian has already acquired 2,000 partners meaning we should be seeing even more devices supporting the HarmonyOS hardware ecosystem and deeper integration with the world of IoT.
