So far, the Chinese manufacturer has provided some of the best car solutions to several auto industries. Some of the popular smart vehicles that are running on the HarmonyOS car systems are AITO, Avita, SAIC, Geely, and many more.

Besides, the company has served some of the unique and ultimate car-oriented techs to date. A good example is the Huawei Car Smart Screen Pro 3K wide dual camera. The tech maker has released the respective technology in collaboration with Zhixuan Dingdipai.

Despite various excellent solutions, Huawei lacks an independent automobile business. Besides being a fact, this has been a big question that needs an answer.

Why Huawei didn’t build cars?

Last year, Huawei’s Rotating Chairman – Xu Zhijun explained why the company hadn’t put its hands in the automobile business. Further, he said that the company took this decision after discussing the matter for years.

Earlier, the Chinese manufacturer invested a huge amount in the automobile business. Not only in terms of capital, but the company indulged 7000 direct workers and 10,000 indirect workers for its smart car sector. Yet, after several efforts and attempts, the automobile business proved a loss for the tech giant.

On the other hand, Huawei realized that its technology in car-making is becoming seamlessly common as well as dull in the market. Hence, the company decided to halt its smart car manufacturing once and for all.

Huawei won’t build cars but will help others

This year, Huawei made it clear that it won’t build cars, rather it will help others to do it. At the 17th Super Car conference, Huawei’s smart car solution BU COO – Wang Jun said that Huawei will not go backward. Perhaps, it will help the companies to build good cars.

This shows that taking up the automobile business isn’t Huawei’s cup of tea. However, the Chinese manufacturer has coordinated with several automobile businesses in recent times and introduced some of the best HarmonyOS car solutions.

The company’s car solution trick has turned out to be a success. As a result, HarmonyOS smart cockpit works as a brain for the car system and is highly in demand in the market.

AITO Smart Cars – a huge success

AITO M7 and AITO M5 are mainly built by the Seres car manufacturer. Yet, it uses the Huawei brand as the biggest selling point perspective. Another interesting fact is Seres is the first cooperation to adopt Huawei’s in-car operating system.

In this way, the company has provided both – solutions and its name to several automobile industries. Recently, Huawei and Seres jointly released the Huawei AITO M5 EV pure electric vehicle with HarmonyOS 3.0 smart cockpit.

Undoubtedly, Huawei will continue to bring more advanced and reflective solutions to car makers. However, the company didn’t have any plans for its independent automobile business at present.

The post Despite excellent solutions, why Huawei lacks independent automobile business appeared first on Huawei Central.

Consequently, HarmonyOS 3 rollout for the newly added devices will offer an enhanced user experience and a handful of effective features. For instance, the super home screen, and super device functionalities.

Moreover, the latest upgrade will provide excellent services to the corresponding TV owners. Such as using phone apps on your smart screen, cross-device interconnection, family-time services, entertainment, and other interesting aspects.

Interconnection is a demanding service, every user requires a smooth, secure and reliable connection between their devices. As we are moving ahead with technologies, connectivity has started to lacking behind.

Interaction problems among devices have become a common but major issue. But thanks to Huawei, it has taken care of both Chinese as well as global users in this aspect. The company has sheltered its devices with Super Device and Device+ features and managed to offer efficient interconnection services.

So let’s begin our exploration with Super Device and Device+

HarmonyOS 3.0 Super Device

Launched with HarmonyOS 2.0, Super Device is a prominent feature that drives all HarmonyOS gadgets effectively. It allows you to connect and operate other smart devices just by using the smartphone. For instance, with one tap, users can control and manage smart homes, smart vehicles, and other eligible gadgets.

With the latest HarmonyOS version, Huawei has enhanced this feature to more extent. Consequently, various devices can be flexibly combined, interconnected, and coordinate with different Huawei IDs. This gives you instant results in smooth and efficient interactions between your devices.

As mentioned, Huawei introduced this feature with HarmonyOS 2.0. At that time, global users were also expecting to taste this feature on their devices. However, the company soon made it clear that HarmonyOS phone-oriented features will remain exclusive in China.

Though users have the chance to enjoy HarmonyOS eye-catching elements on other devices. Such as tablets, smartwatches, speakers, smart screens, and more. Yet, phone features are still in anticipation.

EMUI 12 Device+

To benefit global users with efficient interconnection, Huawei unveiled EMUI 12 with the Device+ feature. Just like Super Device, the respective feature allows you to collaborate with numerous devices.

It makes your tablet or smartphone a hub for nearby Huawei gadgets. As a result, you can easily manage your every handset with a single device. Despite Huawei has tried to provide all its users with equal benefits, here are some dissimilarities that will hype your urge for HarmonyOS 3.0 system.

Dissimilarities between Super Device and Device+

1. Multi-Device Task Center

Although both features exhibit some fascinating services for consumers. Yet, only Super Device features can operate several tasks between your different devices. In Super Device settings, users can enable a Multi-Device Task Center that allows switching tasks between devices logged into the same Huawei ID.

2. Nearby Devices Map

Yes, you will find a map of nearby devices when enabling the Super Device feature in contrast to Device+. It allows you to connect with supported devices on the map with just a drag-and-drop gesture.

Apart from these features, the rest of the things are similar. To summarize, we can say that Super Device and Device+ both play a significant role in providing an immersive user experience. However, I think Huawei has paid a little more attention to HarmonyOS 3.0 with some additional features than EMUI 12.

Meanwhile, EMUI still has equal part of Android inside rather than being a HarmonyOS based software.

The post Which one is better, HarmonyOS 3.0 Super Device or EMUI 12 Device+? appeared first on Huawei Central.

This list of security features includes various options. For instance, verified document sharing, better security for privacy-related applications, mobile payment security, and more.

Huawei understands the role of privacy and security features. Hence, it depicts the usage of each addition and explains how users can access them in simple steps.

Verified Document Sharing

You can create and share your document more securely by adding a personalized watermark to it. To do so, follow the below-given steps:

• Go to the Notepad application
• Tap on the “+New Note”
• Select the document you want to share
• Scan the document from both sides
• Save the document
• Click on the Full-Screen watermark to customize the watermark label
• Once the watermark is added, save the document

Enhance the privacy of an application

Now you can easily secure a particular app without setting a lock for the entire device. All you have to do is open the Settings menu, and select the Security section. Click on the App Lock and set an App Lock Password accordingly.

Payment Security

To boost the security level of payment methods, Huawei has added a payment protection switch. You can head to Settings > Security > Payment Protection center and can enable the respective function.

The respective function will automatically recognize the network and payment method when in use. Thereafter, it will verify the transaction through the payment password and verification code. Eventually, this method will help users from harmful payment apps.

HarmonyOS 3 new security features: Device List

Yes, the company also gave an idea as to which devices will remain on the first list for receiving these features. Huawei mentioned that these HarmonyOS 3 features will make their way with the official version release and will take place in the following models:
