Huawei Mate70 Series Officially Launches, HarmonyOS NEXT Public Beta Begins with 8GB Update

The Huawei Mate70 series smartphones officially went on sale at 10:08 AM on December 4th, with prices starting at 5499 for the four models. Simultaneously, a public beta program for HarmonyOS NEXT (native HarmonyOS) was launched for six devices, including the Huawei Mate70 series and MateX6. This update, HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0.0.113, is approximately 8.07GB in size and brings a range of new features and experience upgrades across aesthetics, interaction, connectivity, intelligence, security, and fluidity.

I. Native Refined and Personalized Aesthetics: Create Custom Theme Wallpapers

The new version significantly enhances aesthetic design. Its "Aesthetic Composition" function intelligently identifies the main subject of an image and automatically matches styles and depth-of-field effects. Users can easily create personalized theme wallpapers, crafting a unique visual style. This feature not only elevates the aesthetic level of wallpapers but also simplifies the creation process, allowing for easier customization of the phone interface.

II. Efficient Interaction: Long-Press Lockscreen Live Window and Quick App Login

HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0.0.113 also optimizes the interaction experience. The long-press lockscreen live window function allows users to conveniently view information such as running, cycling, and navigation routes. Some apps even support listening to music while viewing lyrics, improving information access efficiency and entertainment experience. The new version also supports one-click login to some apps via Huawei ID, simplifying the login process, enhancing security, and providing a more convenient and secure app usage experience.

III. Native Connectivity: Seamless Cross-Device Transfer and Efficient Collaboration

HarmonyOS NEXT has always been committed to building a cross-device interconnected ecosystem. This update further refines this functionality. Users can connect devices (phones, tablets, etc.) logged into the same Huawei ID simply by proximity, with app tasks seamlessly continuing between devices. This upgrade significantly improves the efficiency of multi-device collaborative work, providing a smoother and more efficient cross-device experience. Furthermore, on tablets, users can access the photo library, camera, and scanning functions of their phone (using the same Huawei ID), making the operation of multiple devices as smooth and seamless as using a single device, fully demonstrating HarmonyOS NEXT's advantages in multi-device collaboration.

IV. Native Intelligence: XiaoYi Intelligent Body Brings a New Interaction Method

This update introduces the XiaoYi intelligent body, whose navigation bar is permanently resident at the bottom of the screen. Users can long-press to wake XiaoYi and drag text, images, and documents to the XiaoYi navigation bar for intelligent processing. This feature provides a more convenient and intelligent interaction method, significantly improving user efficiency and simplifying daily operations. The introduction of the XiaoYi intelligent body marks further exploration and development in the direction of intelligence for HarmonyOS NEXT, providing users with a more intelligent experience.

V. Native Security: Multiple Protections Guarantee User Data Privacy

Security remains a core focus of HarmonyOS NEXT. The new version strengthens security access control, prohibiting open apps from accessing SMS messages, reading lists of installed applications, etc. Apps can only be granted single-time access to camera, photo library, and contact list data, effectively protecting user privacy. In addition, the Privacy Security Center adds statistics on the duration of app access to the camera and microphone, making app behavior more transparent and allowing users to fully understand app permission usage. The introduction of file encryption sharing further protects the security of file transfers, ensuring only authorized users can access shared files and preventing information leakage.

VI. Native Fluidity: System-Level Optimization for a Smooth Experience

HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0.0.113 comprehensively optimizes system fluidity. By improving memory usage efficiency, multitasking is smoother, and animations are silkier. The multimedia experience is more immersive, with faster video export speeds, smoother game operation, smoother page opening and transitions, and significantly improved app launch speed and stability. These optimizations not only enhance the daily user experience but also provide a more comfortable and efficient mobile phone experience.

VII. Upgraded Native App Experience: High-Quality Content and AI Functionality

This update also upgrades the HarmonyOS native app experience, with high-quality content selection, immersive visual design, and AI functionality to provide a premium native HarmonyOS app experience. This demonstrates HarmonyOS NEXT's commitment to providing users with a higher quality and richer app ecosystem, increasing user stickiness and satisfaction.

Summary:

HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0.0.113 brings numerous highlights, covering aesthetics, interaction, connectivity, intelligence, security, and fluidity, providing users with a more personalized, efficient, secure, and smooth mobile experience. This update not only reflects Huawei's continued investment and technological innovation in the HarmonyOS system but also showcases its emphasis on and pursuit of user experience. The 8GB update size signifies the comprehensiveness and depth of this update, promising a refreshing user experience. The combination of the Huawei Mate70 series and HarmonyOS NEXT will provide consumers with a superior smartphone experience.
