The Huawei Pura 70 series plays to new heights with HarmonyOS 4.2
Not long ago, Huawei's Pura 70 series was officially unveiled with the new HarmonyOS 4.2, which has been upgraded in terms of personalization, intelligence, smoothness, and security.
With the blessing of HarmonyOS 4.2, the personalized experience of the HUAWEI Pura 70 series is particularly impressive, such as geometric stickers and geometric party-themed design inspired by the design of the Huawei Pura 70 series.
HarmonyOS 4.2 also supports custom themes for zodiac, festivals, sports, and more, so that everyone can find their own style. In addition, HarmonyOS 4.2 adds 1,500+ Q-bounce emojis with new mood stickers and party themes to interact with users' eyes and express more diverse personalities.
In terms of AI experience, Huawei's Pura 70 series powered by HarmonyOS 4.2 provides users with a comprehensive understanding of user needs through cutting-edge AI technologies such as natural language interaction with large models and intelligent vision algorithms.
For example, AI elimination and AI cloud enhancements. The former can intelligently identify and complete the elimination area through in-depth semantic analysis of the picture, making the background more natural. Users can easily eliminate distracting elements such as passers-by and clutter in photos with a simple stroke. AI Cloud Enhancements leverage large models to precisely enhance image details. For example, users can optimize image quality in the cloud after taking portraits, group photos, close-ups of flowers, or super macro scenes.
In addition, thanks to the powerful knowledge integration capabilities of Huawei's Pangu model, HarmonyOS 4.2 has also ushered in an upgrade, with powerful natural language understanding capabilities, support for a series of practical functions such as free dialect speaking, skin care knowledge Q&A, dialogue screen recognition, direct service, and document information summarization.
In terms of interaction, the Pura 70 series with the support of HarmonyOS 4.2 brings a richer control experience with AI air control, which supports continuous swiping, and can swipe videos and view web pages without touching the screen. Zhigan Pay has been upgraded to support more code scanning devices and faster recognition speed; It also supports AI information protection, and the Pura 70 series can intelligently recognize faces and automatically hide message details when multiple people or non-owners are looking at the phone.

With the support of HarmonyOS 4.2, Huawei's Pura 70 series intervenes to alert users at key nodes in all aspects of telecom network fraud, protecting users from contact and fraud.
HarmonyOS 4.2 enables pure mode by default, enabling comprehensive visual control from app installation to operation. On top of this, HarmonyOS 4.2 further improves the purity of the user experience by turning off shake ads. With the new "App Get Device Directions" permission management, users can turn off this permission with one click, so as to effectively block the "shake" ad jump in the app, and achieve a cleaner and non-distracting application environment. It is worth mentioning that the Huawei Pura 70 series has also upgraded the precise positioning capability of floor-level device search.
Finally, there is the level of smooth experience. HarmonyOS 4.2's Ark Scheduling Engine focuses on the user's core operations, resulting in a 12% increase in app responsiveness, while the Ark Multimedia Engine further optimizes the image browsing experience, enabling images to be instantly loaded and rendered when the gallery scrollbar is dragged. The Ark graphics engine brings blurred transitions closer to the real world, and at the same time, there are more scenes that support gesture operations that can be started and interrupted at any time, making the overall operation more elegant and casual.
Write at the end

Many netizens have commented that HarmonyOS 4.2's animations are smoother and faster, and the heating problem of the device has been significantly improved, describing it as "quite silky animation".
More netizens lamented that even the old Huawei nova6 model launched five years ago is within the scope of upgrades, and their real names are envied.
In the author's opinion, the reason why the HarmonyOS system has won such wide acclaim is that Huawei's continuous support for old devices is indispensable, but the core of the essence is still the continuous innovation of user experience. HarmonyOS 4.2 is a notable example of this, not only inheriting the excellent quality of HarmonyOS in terms of security, smoothness, and ease of use, but also infusing many interesting and personalized new gameplay and industry-leading AI practical features such as privacy, security, and interaction. This series of innovative elements has brought users an unprecedented new experience, and every interaction between users and the device is full of surprises and pleasures, which is also the reason for the enthusiastic pursuit and praise of users across the network.
With the launch of the 100-device upgrade program for HarmonyOS 4.2, this new system will reach a wider range of users, and we look forward to seeing more consumers enjoy the benefits of HarmonyOS 4.2.
