Huawei has been slowly seeding the latest version of its software— HarmonyOS 3— to eligible smartphones. A sizeable number of handsets have already received the update and the latest devices to get the software treat are the Huawei Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, P20 Pro, and more. Users of these devices can now sign up for the beta version of the HarmonyOS 3. Here are the details.
Huawei today announced that users of Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, P20 Pro, and Mate RS Porsche Edition smartphones in China can now enroll in the HarmonyOS 3 Public beta program. After enrolling, users will be able to test the software before the stable build is rolled out.
However, it should be noted that the public beta build is a test version released to the public during the version development stage. It may not function as smoothly as the stable build and could even hamper your day-to-day usage. Some applications (including third-party applications) may be unstable or incompatible with the software.
After the beta testing is over, Huawei will start pushing the official version of the HarmonyOS 3 to users in batches. Updating to the stable build should not clear user data, but it is still recommended to back up all important data to a PC or cloud before upgrading, and confirm that the contents are safely stored.
Prior to taking part in the early adopters for the public beta, it is important for users to confirm that their phone system version meets the minimum requirements for upgrades. If their current version falls short of the baseline version, users must first update their device to the appropriate version in order to participate.
