Huawei’s latest operating system, HarmonyOS 4.0, was unveiled earlier this month. The company opened the beta program in China, allowing over 36 phone and tablet users to try out the new features before the official release. Impressively, within just two weeks of its release, HarmonyOS 4 has already been installed on 5 million devices, with a remarkable 1 million users upgrading to this new operating system on its very first day.

He Gang, Chief Operating Officer of Huawei Devices BG, shared the latest stats on HarmonyOS 4 on his Weibo account. He said that the new operating system brings new visuals and interactive experiences, such as personalized themes, which have been well-received by users. 

Gang also added that HarmonyOS 4 is not only fun and personalized, but it also helps users get information more efficiently through its new notification center and “Live Window” feature.

For those unaware, HarmonyOS 4 has a new feature called Live Window, which is similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island. Supported apps will show real-time alerts and notifications in a pill-shaped icon on the corner of your device. You can then tap the icon to expand the window and interact with the app.

Live Window is available on smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, and it works with a variety of Huawei apps, as well as third-party apps from a growing list of developers. There are a bunch of other features in HarmonyOS 4 which you can learn from here.

The HarmonyOS 4 public beta is now available from Huawei for a range of 34 devices, including the Mate 50 series, P60 series, and Mate X3. A further 35 devices, including the P40, Mate 30, Nova 9, and Nova 10 series, will be added to the beta program later on.
