Reports say that Huawei is getting ready to launch the P60 series smartphones soon. It could launch sometime in March, however, a clear date is not available yet. Rumors say that the Huawei P60 series will come with new software onboard.
As you may know, Huawei was banned from using Google software and apps by the U.S. Commerce Department due to security reasons. After being kicked off the Google platform, Huawei developed its own operating system cammed HarmonyOS, which made its first appearance on the Mate 40 series and the Mate X2 foldable smartphones. Ever since then, the software has steadily been growing and getting polished.
Now, a new report from Gizchina has surfaced citing an unnamed tech blogger that reveals some interesting details about the upcoming version of HarmonyOS. According to the report Huawei is internally testing HarmonyOS 3.1. This will be a minor update to devices running HarmonyOS 3.0 like the Mate 50. As mentioned above, this build does not bring any major changes, and rather fixes some bugs and improves system stability. We can expect it to be pre-loaded in the P60 lineup.
The report also mentions that the next iteration of Huawei’s in-house OS called HarmonyOS 4.0 will come with major changes in the design of the system. The design change likely refers to a new UI interface. Currently, it is unclear when HarmonyOS 4.0 will make its debut. However, expectations are high with the third largest smartphone platform in the world which now has 2% of the global market share under control.
