Huawei has officially announced HarmonyOS 3.1, which is set to offer a range of new features that will enhance the user experience for their smartphone customers. The new features span across personalization, camera app, satellite communication, icons, security, and foldable phones.
One of the key visual changes to HarmonyOS 3.1 is the introduction of a new lock screen that allows users to set their own photos as an always-on display. The transition between the lock screen and the home screen is seamless and fluid. Another visually refined feature is the 3D Always-on Display (AOD), which enables users to select interactive 3D animate widgets as an always-on display.
The app icons have also undergone a slight makeover, with Huawei introducing slightly rounded corners to create a seamless appearance. In the camera app, users can now use a new rotating zoom ring and adjust the zoom with on-screen controls. Huawei has also rearranged some of the most common options below the shutter button for better accessibility.
HarmonyOS 3.1 supports second-generation satellite communication features and offers a new interface that enables two-way SMS. Better security features have also been added, including the ability to hide on-screen applications and manage background popup apps. Additionally, users can now receive confirmation messages before jumping to a second app.
For foldable devices, HarmonyOS 3.1 has installed a brand new home screen layout designed specifically for larger screens. The software also enables split-screen functionality and introduces new AI-powered smart split-screen order. The software can check split-screen apps and reorder them according to past usage habits.
Overall, the new features in HarmonyOS 3.1 are set to improve the user experience for Huawei smartphone owners significantly. With a range of visual enhancements, camera app improvements, and better security and foldable device features, the software update is a welcome addition for Huawei customers.
