At 10 a.m. on April 26th, Huawei announced the launch of the 4.2 official version through HarmonyOS's official WeChat, of which there are 22 models in the first batch of upgradeable models, and a total of 44 models in mid-May.
The first is today's official version upgrade, covering five categories: mobile phones, tablets, smart screens, watches and even fingerprint locks. Among them, there are 8 mobile phones including Huawei Mate60 series, Mate X5 series, and Pocket2 series, 3 tablets including MatePad Pro 13.2-inch and 11-inch, 7 smart screens, V5/V5 Pro, V55/V65/V75/V85, and 3 watches, including Watch Ultimate, ULTIMATE DESIGN, WATCH GT4. In addition, Huawei smart door lockPro is actually the first batch of upgraded devices of the official version of Hongmeng 4.2, which is quite unexpected.
At the same time, Huawei gave a preview of the upgrade of the official version of HarmonyOS 4.2 in mid-May, including Mate50 series, P60 series, MateX3 series and nova12 series, a total of 13 mobile phones will be upgraded. In addition, there are also new categories such as headphones, smart glasses, routing and home storage, you can see the preview list below.
Overall,This time,Hongmeng4.2The upgrade speed is"unprecedented",Compared with the previous major version updates, it took half a year to complete the adaptation of all models,Now4.2Version can adapt to a large number of models in just one or two months。 According to the current progress, the Kirin 990/Kirin 985 model should start public beta recruitment in May, and I can't wait for the nova6 I have at hand.
Of course, I have always emphasized that Hongmeng4.2 is a "springboard" for upgrading to5.0, this time the Kirin 980 model did not have the opportunity to upgrade to Hongmeng4.2, so there is a high probability that it will not be able to upgrade to Hongmeng5.0. It is expected that the Huawei Mate70 series in the second half of the year will be the first to be pre-installed with Hongmeng5.0, which is also a "pure-blooded Hongmeng", which will be completely cut from Android, and there is no need to worry about whether Hongmeng is a "shell Android" in the future.
