X tipster @UniverseIce dropped a video showing smoother animations of the One UI 7.0. The clip is more likely a screen recording done on the Galaxy S25/Plus phone.

Note that the clip has been deleted from YouTube. But another tipster has managed to get it. Tap HERE to check the smoother animations of the new software build.

Although the interesting part of this clip is the fluid transitions. The overall motions like swipe gestures as well as the opening and closing of apps appeared faster and more stable. Users will probably have the best animation experience with One UI 7.

It doesn’t show any lag or glitches while opening/closing apps. Switching between apps is much easier and faster than ever. Just a simple touch and users will see quicker responses.

Some applications that were indulged in this animation testing are Gallery, Settings, Phone, and Camera. These appeared in redesigned icons. The Weather widget also gets a makeover with a thinner shape than the previous major upgrade.

It’s just the beginning and Samsung could make ever better changes with the stable version.

Tipster @AdakFenglangjuxu says that Huawei could make the camera and gallery access much safer with the future HarmonyOS NEXT updates. He shared his experience with the new software beta regarding systems and third-party apps.

Most apps, especially social ones require access to the gallery and camera for media content sharing. Although this permission often raises security concerns.

But HarmonyOS NEXT ensures secure access to both these system apps in every manner. The tipster says the HarmonyOS NEXT gallery ensures all apps have safer access at all times. It validates if images/videos are obtained via secure access controls.

Adak reveals two methods to access the gallery app:

The first one uses the device system’s component to obtain data. For instance, the Mee Time app directly uses the Image Picker to access the gallery app. It supports the device system’s component to control and obtain the data.

WeChat, on the flip side, uses its UI design to control access. It doesn’t directly support the device’s system components for every app.

Most of the applications such as the GoPaint app or Weibo use the second type (their own UI design) to access the gallery app rather than the device system’s component.

This might appear as insecure access to many users. The same goes for the camera app. Adak says that the camera should have a preview frame in real-time before scanning double QR codes and beauty cameras.

Such apps and services have their algorithms to access the camera which may not be secure in every manner. Note that these don’t harm your data but can’t be said safe as well. Following these points, Huawei could boost its security for gallery and camera access with the upcoming HarmonyOS NEXT versions.

Next, it will display some expression-full-face options. You can choose any of the three looks as per your choice. Once done, save the picture with the changes made.

How to use the AI Best Expression tool?

AI Best Expression tool is currently exclusive to Huawei Nova 13 Pro. The company hasn’t mentioned if it will bring the same tool to other models in the future or not. Although Nova 13 Pro users can enjoy this benefit to the fullest.

To access this feature, go to the Gallery app. Select an image you want to change the expressions for. Click on the Edit button on the toolbar. Tap on the AI Best Expression feature and select any of the options that pop up above the picture.

Save the changes and the picture. And it’s done. Your “best expression” image is ready. It’s the perfect tool when your group pic isn’t looking better due to a wrong expression. Just open your Nova 13 Pro and give some touch-ups with the new AI tool.

The tech giant started the native HarmonyOS app chain last year. Till now, the HarmonyOS NEXT application count surpassed 15000 and more apps will join this ecosystem. One of these is Huawei Wallet which promises a better experience.

Inputs reveal that the Huawei Wallet HarmonyOS NEXT app brings several new features and capabilities. Starting with the interface, the app now has a newer and simpler UI than before. It offers easy-to-understand visuals for an efficient experience.

Users can easily understand the app and manage their numerous cards, coupons, tickets, and certificates, without being confused between new or older sections.

The top section appears as a visual cardholder. It holds your payment card, transportation card, car key, and access card. One can manage and change the card position as per their preference. The below section shows two tabs: Home and Me.

No need to log in to old or other devices to manage your local account cards. Just ensure that you are using the same Huawei ID and manage all your cards more conveniently. The app also allows you to add cards to wearables without collaborating with any other app. Thus, you can experience the wallet on multiple devices.

The company has also improved the existing features of the app:

• Double-tap on the power button: Click the power button twice to make quicker payments. This gesture will lead you directly to the payment PIN (code) for the transaction, without going through many steps.
• Touch and Pay: Place your device close to the POS machine and make payments.
• Transportation Card: You can use the app for transportation cards. While using a bus or subway, just keep your device close to the gate for identity authorization.
• Access Card: One can add unlimited access cards to Huawei Wallet. This eliminates the need for a physical card to open your house’s door.
• One-tap car control: Huawei Wallet brings you the car key feature for an easier car experience. It supports AITO, STELATO, Luxeed, BYD, Denza, Leopard, and Yangwang auto. One can unlock the car by tapping on the car’s body. It also supports remote car control and car search

Most of these features were already present in the app. Although these are now faster, smoother, and more convenient than before.

Weibo tipster @UncleKanshan says that Huawei will directly launch a new MatePad 11.5 2024 tablet on October 30. The term directly hints that there won’t be any release event, unlike other products. The device will directly be on the sale shelf.

The company unveiled the MatePad 11.5-inch S tablet in May this year. Now it is seemingly planning to bring an upgraded 11.5-inch tablet with useful capabilities.

Apart from UncleKanshan, another tipster shared some key specs and main changes to the new tablet. The leak hints that the MatePad 11.5 2024 will have the same design as its predecessor. But Huawei will upgrade its chip and other internal specs.

For instance, the company may use the Kirin 8000 processor for the alleged tablet. The sound feature powered by Huawei Histen could be upgraded from level 8 to 9 (Histen 9). Next, a 40W charger with 30W charging power may accompany the tablet.

Speaking of the price, it will likely be similar to the previous-gen model. As per the tipster’s leak, there won’t be any 4G LTE full network variant this time.

Wall Street Journal reports that the Huawei Pura 70 series shipments have crossed 6.5 million units. The OEM launched the respective lineup in April this year, bringing it to global markets in May. On both sides, the devices performed well in sales.

Huawei has expected to ship 10 million units of Pura 70 models this year. Based on the current revelations, it seems the Chinese tech giant could achieve the shipment goal by the end of 2024, marking a new milestone in the smartphone market.

The Pura 70 smartphones have been giving a tough bang to Apple iPhones in China. It significantly affected the iPhone 15 series sales in the Chinese smartphone market due to its impressive camera design, high-end features, and Kirin 5G chip.

During the HarmonyOS NEXT launch event, Huawei announced that the Pura 70 series sales in the first three quarters increased by 154%. This rise has eventually boosted the company’s flagship smartphone shipment by 71% year-on-year.

Huawei Consumer Business Group Chairman – Yu Chengdong says that the Pura 70 series shipment has upgraded the level of the company in the competition.

Despite U.S. sanctions, the tech giant continued to adopt advanced techs and features for its devices. Kirin 9010 5G for Pura 70 Ultra is the best example of this scenario. It uproots on 7nm process but offers optimized performance over previous chips.

The company is also ditching foreign components to a significant extent, supporting its native suppliers. A teardown reveals that Pura 70 series has more China-made parts than the Mate 60 smartphones and other previous-gen handsets.

Huawei is pacing slowly but steadily in the smartphone race. After the Pura 70 series, consumers have locked their eyes on the Mate 70. It would be worth seeing what major changes the next lineup will bring to boost Huawei’s sales revenue.

The tech giant says that HarmonyOS NEXT equips a Star Shield Security framework. This new addition ensures the safety of the app ecosystem in the device.

Simply put, the architecture looks after the app installation and relevant operations in the HarmonyOS NEXT devices. It checks if an app is running accurately.

Star Shield Security further enhances the AppGallery in the HarmonyOS NEXT. Huawei says that the new App Store in the latest software contains 200 detection capabilities. These components trace every app present in the application store.

Also, several experts review apps before listing them on the AppGallery. If an application and its codes do not meet HarmonyOS NEXT security standards, the experts restrict it and don’t list it on the AppGallery.

“Codes and applications that do not meet security requirements cannot be put on the AppGallery or installed on devices. Every app is traceable with a real name.” says Huawei.

This addition claims that HarmonyOS NEXT makes the app installations safer than ever before. It keeps an eye on the app while it downloads on a device.

During the installation, if the software detects an illegal operation such as an attack on private data, system, or more, it restricts the app running and stops the installation. Thus, your data remains out of the reach of third-party servers.

HarmonyOS NEXT also blocks 9 types of unnecessary permissions for installed applications:

• Reading the list of installed apps
• Accessing text messages
• Accessing storage files
• Creating home screen shortcuts
• Obtaining device information
• Displaying floating windows
• Accessing call logs
• Installing apps within apps
• Making and managing calls

A tiny privacy indicator on the status bar will constantly remind you when an app is found using a mic, camera, or location. It will also display all the details such as the sensitive permissions of the application in real-time.

System-level file encryption is another beneficial feature that ensures only the device owners or authorized users can access their encrypted files on the phone/tablet. It doesn’t limit sharing and supports Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, and TXT formats.

These HarmonyOS NEXT capabilities ensure that the apps in Huawei devices do not lead to data leaks or unauthorized access to confidential details of users.
