The post HarmonyOS 4.0 public beta recruitment begins for these 12 devices appeared first on Huawei Central.

Both of these phones are completing 5-6 years of launch and Huawei is still sending new software upgrades to keep them running. Mate 20 and P30 series equipped EMUI 9 and 9.1 respectively during launch.

These phones have garnered a good reputation in the global market. However, in 2020, Huawei announced a different role for the P30 and Mate 20 in China.

The difference this time was to shift users to HarmonyOS compared to global owners who are using the EMUI ecosystem. There may not be a major change in software UI between the two with a recent major upgrade but there’s in the update cycle.

Huawei P30 and Mate 20 devices are receiving more updates than their global counterparts. Simply put, these phones are running EMUI 12 in the global market while their Chinese version is upgraded to HMOS 4. It is equivalent to EMUI 14 and two generations ahead.

Details:

Amid all of this discussion, the new software update reflects a boost in user experience. The changelog reveals optimizations for the display software interface. This may improve the overall quality of the UI and remove glitches in some situations.

Next comes system stability improvements for better performance. Lastly, the update will improve the security aspects of the phone using HarmonyOS security patches released in February 2024 for a safer experience.

Based on the rollout details, the new software update carries version 4.0.0.121 and there’s a base version required to upgrade over this new release.

The new display, system, and security improvements for Huawei P30 and Mate 20 come in batches and it may take some to cover all of the eligible devices.

Speaking of the new software, the Huawei P30 series gets the February 2024 update with the HarmonyOS 4.0.0.121 version, upgraded from the 4.0.0.108 build. The company is pushing the firmware to the first 2000 beta testers for the moment.

Meanwhile, the general public has to wait for the official HarmonyOS 4 software release. By that time, let’s have a look at the compatible models and changelog.

Adapted Models:

• Huawei P30 (ELE-AL00)
• Huawei P30 (ELE-TL00)
• Huawei P30 Pro (VOG-AL00)

Over the past year, Huawei has further distanced itself from global smartphone users and there is no major announcement made. Although the company is moving fast in terms of mobile services but it failed to give new customers a reason to choose its smartphones.

At a time when mobile manufacturers are giving away robust software support and promising ultra-long version upgrades. However, Huawei is lacking in these areas without publishing further news about its next generation of software releases.

Speaking of which, EMUI 14 should have been the next software upgrade but users have reported not seeing this upgrade in their devices.

Usually, Huawei releases a new version upgrade in the fourth quarter but the company is still mum about the development of the next EMUI phase. Meanwhile, in China, Huawei phone users are getting fast HarmonyOS support, which is a matter of concern for many of the global Huawei consumers.

As for now, Huawei is sending new security patches for a handful of devices, while some of the old models have been removed from the monthly upgrade cycle. While some have been transitioned to the quarterly timespan.
