Huawei is set to launch HarmonyOS 4, its next-gen operating system, tomorrow. The Chinese brand has officially confirmed that it will hold the 5th Huawei Developer Conference 2023 in Dongguan from August 4th to 6th. Also, an official report from Huawei reveals that the company will release the HarmonyOS 4.0 system at 14:30 tomorrow. In addition, popular Weibo tech blogger @DCS reports that after the event, Huawei will directly push the HarmonyOS 4 system. His report further claims that only devices with Kirin 990 chip and newer models will get the update tomorrow. When asked about Honor models with Kirin 990, @DCS claims that these devices will also get the chance to upgrade to the new system.
We talked about Honor devices above but don’t allow that to confuse you. Recall that before Huawei sold Honor back in 2020, the company already had several Honor phones. Those Honor phones are still under the care of Huawei. However, Honor mobile phones produced after Huawei sold Honor are not under Huawei’s care and do not use the Harmony system.
