HarmonyOS 4.2 not only brings wonderful customizations but also gives a new angle to photography with the fresh camera layout. With the new software version, the firm has tweaked the optical framework and made it more useful for its device owners.

The Chinese phone maker has made photography easier with HarmonyOS 4.2 camera layout. For instance, Huawei phone users can now quickly access the camera menu without covering the preview screen. Just tap on the arrow below the shutter.

New Camera Menu:

With HarmonyOS 4.2, Huawei has shifted the key camera features to a drop-down section. This addition will appear will the lens shutter in the form of an arrow.

Clicking on this arrow will let you access tools like aspect ratio, Flash, Master AI, Filters, Grid, and more. Before this upgrade, users need to access these features by restricting the camera preview screen. But this issue doesn’t exist anymore.

The best advantage of this change is that users can manage these controls with one hand. Another benefit of the camera section is the zoom control feature. The zooming capability now appears in a rotating avatar rather than the traditional buttons.

Zoom Ring:

When opening the camera, users will see zoom options. Tapping and holding them for a second will result in a rotating feature. Spinning the wheel will let you adjust the focal length for the subject, giving you the feel of a professional photographer.

Even though you can adjust these levels directly by the 1x, 2x, 5x, tags on the screen. However, this addition makes the optical framework look more fun and interesting. Adjusting the zoom levels via the rotating ring also offers an amazing touch response.

EMUI 14.2 does offer a fresh camera layout with the drop-down section but a zoom wheel is missing from the segment. It’s a plus point for HarmonyOS 4.2 device users.

To access this feature, users can directly open the camera app on their Huawei phone. However, make sure that your device is running on the latest HarmonyOS 4.2 upgrade.

EMUI 14.2 has a lot of room for customization, especially when it comes to the home screen. Apart from immersive weather and funny emojis, the company allows users to add a feel of fun to the Huawei phones with the EMUI 14.2 Magazine Themes.

With the new software upgrade, Huawei has divided the themes section into two main parts. The first one called “Interactive” contains animated or live wallpapers and themes. Using these themes unlocks 3D visual effects on your phone’s screen.

The second part is called Magazine Themes. Unlike the Interactive ones, these themes don’t animate. Yet, they offer multiple funny options to customize your home or the lock screen look. Just set a few things and an interesting view is ready!

EMUI 14.2 Magazine Themes consist of three items. These are Art Star, Poster, and Headlines. All these themes have personalized tools to create a stunning and more catchy view on the home screen. Let’s study these three options one by one.

Art Star:

It supports a one-click cutout feature. Thus, you can shape the wallpaper with your portraits or other objects. You can place the cutout image anywhere on the screen.

One can also change the background with artistic textures. The theme also supports color selection for background patterns and app icons to give a monochromatic look to the home screen. The same changes will appear for AOD as well.

EMUI 14.2 Magazine Themes

Poster Theme:

This section allows users to use their favorite photos for a poster cover. Users can alter the clock font or change the template color with dual-shade options. Again you can shift the image to bring the focus on the main object and change icon colors.

Headline Theme:

This theme enables users to decorate their images with the headline fonts. Users can pick from different clock styles like bold, techno, classic, and more. You can further change icon colors. These color combos will extract colors from the wallpaper to create matching icons.

It is easy to access the EMUI 14.2 Magazine Themes. All you have to do is visit the Settings app. Now select the Home screen & style section. Tap on the “Themes” part and select one of the above-listed Magazine Themes for your Huawei phone.

Huawei has paused the EMUI 14 beta rollout but for good reasons as the EMUI 14.2 is in the line and here we’ve brought you its changelog which is full of customizations. The firmware began approaching flagship devices and you will soon grab it.

EMUI 14.2 is available for the first batch of devices that have participated in the recent EMUI beta program. But the interesting point is that it is an unlimited rollout and even reaching those who were out of the beta pool, waiting for public testing.

Being a special rollout, Huawei is releasing EMUI 14.2 to both beta and non-beta users. The first difference you will notice in the latest firmware is the software size.

Users who have installed the first EMUI 14 beta will receive the 14.2 build with a small package say 500-600MB. Those upgrading from the EMUI 13.1 version will be required to download a 6.35GB downloadable pack to enjoy the latest features.

Features:

Another difference lies in the changelog. EMUI 14.2 isn’t much different from the EMUI 14 version, except for more customization and fun. It packs some amazing themes-related capabilities to enrich the interaction and user interface for users.

Huawei phone users on EMUI 14 beta will get a new security patch with a few system stability enhancements. Whereas, those with EMUI 13.1 as a baseline build will fetch a huge changelog with similar features to the EMUI 14 beta software.

Huawei EMUI 14.2 Features Changelog

Magazine Themes:

  • The Art Star theme allows you to choose a portrait photo you like and a matching wallpaper.
  • The poster theme now has a magazine-style layout and combines different colors and patterns.
  • The headline theme offers six font styles that you can use to customize the clock on your lock screen.
  • Each of these themes allows you to extract color from the wallpaper and apply it to the app icons.

Interactive Themes:

  • The Emoji theme animates your screen background with interactive effects.
  • There is an immersive weather wallpaper that changes depending on the weather conditions and the angle at which you rotate the phone.

Productivity & Efficiency:

  • Live View: Shows timely alerts and the status of important events on the lock screen, home screen, and more to keep you updated. It also exhibits real-time activities on a pinned window at the top. Just tap it and use certain controls.
  • SuperHub: Supports dragging and dropping files or other media contents between apps and devices. Just press and hold the content and perform the gesture to bring it to SuperHub. The feature will store the data temporarily.

EMUI 14 would be the next major software update for Huawei smartphones in the global market. The company may have a long list of features but this year’s wait for a new EMUI version is somewhat different from the past.

For the last two years, Huawei has continuously focused on HarmonyOS in China. Subsequently, HarmonyOS is achieving new heights in the industry and the company is soon to be moving on native HarmonyOS app ecosystem.

Although, this is a major improvement for the software ecosystem for Huawei smartphone users. However, the improvement and the software remained exclusive for Chinese consumers.

Meanwhile, the recent version of EMUI has become one of the least-released software for Huawei smartphones. The company selected only 11 devices to rollout EMUI 13. Importantly, the most frustrating effect of the entire scenario lies in Huawei’s stance of not addressing the rest of the global users.

People have been asking online about EMUI 13 or their issues regarding their phones but there’s no response at all. Yet, we’re here talking about EMUI 14 and hoping that Huawei will eventually improve its offerings for global users similar to what it has been doing in China.

EMUI 14

For example, now you can place your photograph and change its background with presets such as comic scenarios. Then, you can mix and match it with the new AOD reveal animation. This creates a seamless revealing transition from AOD to waking up the phone.

The software introduced new panoramic weather wallpapers, which represent the real-time perception of weather change. The feature uses the phone’s gyroscope to enable current light-intensity wallpapers based on the tilt.

1800 Emoji

HarmonyOS 4 brings a new pack of 1800 self-designed emojis exclusively for HarmonyOS users. With these, users can express themselves in messaging or set them as wallpaper and AOD.

Interactive Watchface

Smart Notification Center

The phone will manage your notifications based on priority. The notification center on HarmonyOS 4 organizes them in two sections. The reminders will be prioritized on top and other notifications will gather in the bottom.

New Service Widgets

Service widgets are getting a notable upgrade and HarmonyOS 4 users can click on them to enable on-screen features. Compared to this, the past generation of the service widget only shows information and opens the corresponding app once clicked.

Live Window

This is the most interesting feature of HarmonyOS 4 and shows how seamless the software has become. This feature justifies its name and allows you to see real-time information on common features. For example, the live tile will show you the ETA of any food delivery app.

You can expand the live window to see detailed notifications and identify with a capsule shape on the left side of the status bar. Interstingly, Huawei made this feature universal on all of the platforms – smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

Refreshed SuperHub

SuperHub can now select multiple files in a single capture. You can now store different information from a page, app, or file manager and store them on SuperHub. Furthermore, you can transfer them to different devices with multi-device capability.

LLM Voice Assistant

HarmonyOS 4 has a smart AI-based Celia Voice Assistant, which is using large model technology. You can now have a natural conversation with a smartphone. New Celia can write notes, manage your device’s documents, and can do copywriting.

Smart Search

Local search is also getting smarter with HarmonyOS 4, you can now search various types of files through the content search feature. This search also summarizes file details along with their location.

Multi-screen sharing

HarmonyOS 4 is also an automotive smart operating system and it now has tablet cockpit collaboration. This feature allows you to broadcast one screen to multiple users on the same car.

Ark Engine

The new HarmonyOS equips the Ark engine, which empowers dynamic effects, smooth use, and fast response along with an efficient battery. The Ark engine improves smoothness by 20%, improved 30-minute battery life, and makes the system faster by 57%.

App Controller

HarmonyOS 4 features include a brand new app controller AKA app control center to provide protection against harmful applications. The app controller works on its own and takes required actions without user attention.

It halts unnecessary background processes and revokes malicious permissions.
