Android 14:

The latest stock Android version has clock widgets in different shapes and features including – Analog, Digital, Stacked, Stopwatch, and World Clock. These widgets have animations and the digital clock consists of multiple info such as date and alarm.

Once added, you can remove these widgets from the home screen at any time. Also, it has anchors, which can be used to change the size of the widget from the smallest to the biggest. While some of them support clock-face options.

One UI 6:

One UI 6 comes with four different clocks including Alarm, Digital, Analogue, and dual clock systems, which can be used as a world clock. Unlike stock Android, One UI 6 has various clock customizations for style, background color, transparency, and synchronization with the default system theme.

You can add and remove these clock widgets with just tap and hold action. Also, these are editable widgets, which means you can tweak all of the available customizations.

iOS 17:

Apple’s new iOS 17 only has analog clock widgets but these are available in different shapes and combinations of information among all others. Adding a widget on the home screen is simple on iOS 17. However, there are no customizations available for these clock widgets.

HarmonyOS 4:

Huawei’s HaramonyOS operating system has 6 types of clock widgets and these are all analog clocks. Yet, Huawei has the most customizable clock widgets among all of them. You can choose from numerous clock widget themes. Along with that, you can tweak shapes and colors. A few of them also support a gradient color system as well.

As compared to Android 14, One UI 6, and iOS 17, Huawei’s HarmonyOS 4 brings the most colorful and smooth clock widgets.

Roadmap of HarmonyOS 3:

The HarmonyOS 3 upgrade plan included over 100 devices from both Huawei and Honor branding. It has almost all of the smartphones launched way back in 2018 including Huawei Nova 4e (Huawei P30 lite) and Honor 8X.

According to our coverage, Huawei announced HarmonyOS 3 for smartphones in July 2022. As of today, Huawei has achieved installation for almost the end of the announced plan.

This is a massive accomplishment for the tech maker and a big change for all of the existing smartphones. We suggest you check the entire list of HarmonyOS 3 devices in the article linked below.

Roadmap of EMUI 13:

As compared to HarmonyOS 3, EMUI 13 upgrade plan only contains 11 models. We can easily name them on our fingers including – Mate Xs 2, P50 Pocket, P50 Pro, P50, Nova 10 Pro, Nova 10, Mate 40 Pro, Nova 9, Nova 10 SE, Nova 9 SE, and Nova Y90.

Also, Huawei decided to keep the plan alive throughout the entire year.

How it’s different?

HarmonyOS 3 allows the company to seed this OS into the lowest required hardware system. Bringing the OTA update to the least possible Huawei devices.

Compared to HarmonyOS 3, EMUI 13 is still using Android underneath the system but the features in the roadmap come directly from HMOS. This is something different and abstaining the firm from delivering EMUI 13 to more smartphones.

To be mentioned, EMUI 12 also had a great run in terms of software release. It covered many models and we still need to wait for more confirmation.

Because there are several models listed in the plan that shares identical specifications with other unlisted Huawei smartphones. Therefore, there is a high chance of change in strategy.

We will keep you posted with all of the latest development in this story.

What’s new in Android 14?

Virtual back button gesture is an important functionality of Android devices and it saves a lot of effort to jump back from an opened app. With Android 14, the back gesture arrow is getting a background shape.

Interstingly, Google has put some effort into this back arrow with gravity assist. It means the shape along with the arrow icon will be responsive to your on-screen gesture intensity. Whether you perform a fast maneuver or a slower one, the arrow will come out accordingly from either side of the screen.

Also, the arrow background shape is compatible with the dynamic theme. So, it will change the color according to the color palette. It certainly improves the user experience.

EMUI:

Coming to the competitor, EMUI is long been enjoying such upgrades and Huawei phone users know how the back gesture really works.

The back gesture button on EMUI comes with fluid animations, which explains the true meaning of gravity. The animation reacts accordingly and accurately. Unlike Android 14, EMUI uses a different approach and the entire scenario is much smoother.

To provide extended functionality, you can stretch the back navigation gesture on EMUI to open multi-window mode. In the process, the feature automatically changes the back icon to a multi-window mode.

The response time on both Android 14 and EMUI for the back gesture action is pretty fast. However, EMUI has better control over the animations.

Still, this is a better upgrade for Android smartphones because Samsung phones are ready to inherit the change and bring it out for the consumers.

Check the comparison video below.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with an HP2 sensor inside a 200-megapixel camera with f/1.7 aperture, the number claims high quality with extra light intake. There are various clips to demonstrate Night/low light photography with a small aperture.

Let’s see Huawei Mate 50 Pro, aside from that 200-megapixel camera, Samsung S23 Ultra doesn’t stand a chance against Huawei Mate 50 Pro’s ultra aperture camera system. Why? Because Huawei is a customized version of the SONY IMX sensor, specially designed for the Mate 50 Pro smartphone.

Although, Mate 50 Pro is not an Ultra model but it comes with an ultra-large f/1.4 aperture that boasts 24% more light with the RYYB color system.

The camera of Mate 50 Pro also provides powerful bokeh shots that really blur the background and highlight the subject with its powerful aperture prowess.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with AI-powered image processing APIs and it could make use of that 200 MP camera system but Huawei Mate 50 Pro could perform image refining tasks even better with its new imaging system called XMAGE.

XMAGE fine-tunes colors and textures, creates vivid contrast, and highlights bright and dark areas to create a first-in-hand impression.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra doesn’t promote the capability to shoot macro but Mate 50 Pro won’t disappoint you, because it has the world’s most powerful macro photography and now a video section that will lead you to the closest to the smallest object in your sight.

Next comes the Ultra wide-angle camera, which counts at 12MP on Galaxy S23 Ultra with f/2.2 aperture and 120-degree field of view. On the other hand, Huawei uses a high-quality 13MP ultra-wide lens to cover all of the group in one picture with identical aperture and FOV.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has dual telephoto cameras, one is a 10MP optical and another is a 10MP periscope. According to the information, these lenses switch automatically.

The periscope camera has a maximum of 10X optical zoom with f/4.9 aperture. On the other hand, Huawei Mate 50 Pro comes with a 64MP Periscope camera that has an f/3.5 aperture camera that could reach a long-long 10X while maintaining the photo quality.

Although, smartphone makers are enhancing the display panel for the best quality possible but blue light emissions cannot be stopped.

Digital Eyestrain:

Using devices up close or for long periods can lead to digital eyestrain. Research has shown that when people use computers, laptops, and other digital devices, they tend to blink less often than normal. Fewer blinks can mean less moisture. Digital eyestrain means different things to different people but is generally related to the focusing system of the eyes.

Eye comfort:

A blue light filter decreases the amount of blue light displayed on the screen of the device, which can suppress the production of the sleep-inducing hormone, so filtering it out can help you sleep better. It will also help you to reduce digital eye strain.

Coming to the comparison, both Huawei EMUI and Samsung One UI come with eye comfort features and it’s time that we look into the aspects.

Eye Schedule:

The Eye schedule feature allows you to enable/disable eye comfort with start and end time.

All Day:

Once enabled, the feature overlaps the screen for the entire time until you turn it off manually.

Level:

A slider is available on both software that filters out blue light to reduce eye fatigue, you can slide it left or right to increase/reduce the filter strength.

Flicker reduction:

Only Huawei EMUI comes with a flicker reduction feature, and as the name reflects, the option helps you to reduce flickering on the screen. This will affect color balance and auto-brightness control.

One UI 5 is one of the most low-approved software and it lacks innovation as well as smoothness. Don’t take my word for it, if you have a Samsung phone, you may like it ‘a bit’ but if you have a Huawei phone or even an iPhone then, you may want Samsung to kick in some new efforts.

Currently, Samsung is busy sending One UI 5 software to old devices. As compared to One UI 4.1, Samsung has made some changes in the user interface and a few in the features section. However, these changes are teeny tiny on the surface.

For instance, Samsung One UI 5 quick settings are similar to One UI 4.1. There is a small change that is powered by Android 13’s Material You design and the rest of the UI and functionality remain the same.

To access One UI 5 quick settings, you can swipe down from the top and swipe again to open the full panel. On the top tray, you will get key features of search, power, and settings, as well as edit.

Followed by a large space for time and date and followed by device control and media output manager. The bottom section includes SIM manager options, quick access icons, and a brightness slider. These are the same old features that were available in One UI 4.1.

On the other hand, EMUI 12 renovated the user experience for Huawei smartphone users. The Control Panel (quick settings) combines a number of new features and services that weren’t there before.

The control panel brings simplicity at hand. Starting from the top section, the phone could use it to control WiFi, Bluetooth connected device way better than One UI 5. There’s a media controller that will allow you to manage playback

Do you think that’s the end of the story? Nope, because Huawei EMUI 12 quick settings enable audio projection to broadcast music on different devices all at once.

The EMUI 12 control panel has quick settings icon section, which has big dials than Samsung One UI 5. Talking about creativity, EMUI 12 further outshines One UI 5 with its Super Device and Smart Device controllers.

Samsung is free to brag about smartphone sales in the global market but when it comes to features and user experience, One UI 5 is still far away.

What do you think, Samsung One UI 5 has better quick settings or EMUI 12? Let us know via the tweet below.
