Huawei‘s HarmonyOS is expected to expand to PCs later this year, and a recent update on the Huawei Developer website may have offered a glimpse of the software’s user interface (UI) design.
The leak reportedly appears in the Design Guide section of the developer website, showcasing the overall UI and app adaptation for PCs.
The UI design leans towards a clean and minimalistic aesthetic. The status bar, located in the top right corner, displays essential information like time, battery level, network connection, volume, and input method. Notably, the icons are spaced out for better readability.
The Dock bar resides at the bottom of the screen, housing frequently used applications and key functionalities. This layout suggests a potentially simpler and more accessible user experience compared to Windows.
App adaptation is another key aspect of the leaked UI design. The guide reportedly covers various app categories including audio, video, social media, photography, reading, shopping, finance, and more. Applications like Maps and Music appear to benefit from a clearer layout for controls and functions.
The Huawei Developer Design Guide reportedly emphasizes the efficient and immersive experience these apps offer across different devices. The apps are designed to adapt seamlessly to various screen sizes without compromising usability. Examples include Weather, File Explorer, and others.
A noteworthy aspect is the alleged compatibility of the HarmonyOS PC UI with both smartphones and tablets. Additionally, the design bears a resemblance to Apple’s macOS user interface. Overall, the UI seems to prioritize efficient use of space and clear information presentation.
The updated Design Guide also reportedly details how new apps and features can be developed to function effectively in a multi-device environment. It emphasizes responsive layout design for smooth navigation and user-friendly features.
While Huawei hasn’t officially confirmed the launch of HarmonyOS for PCs, leaks suggest a potential release alongside the Mate 70 series in Q4 2024. We can expect further details about the software to emerge in the coming months.
