Huawei has officially declared that it will unveil Harmony OS 4.0 during the upcoming Huawei Developers Conference (HDC) at 2:30 pm (local time) on August 4. Alongside this announcement, the company will also introduce its first 5G-enabled flagship phone following the imposition of US sanctions.
Huawei’s Harmony OS system has consistently shown a user-friendly approach to system updates, extending support even to mobile phones released five years ago. Recently, Huawei rolled out the Harmony OS 3.0 update for older mobile phones like the Nova 6 series, delivering a substantial upgrade with new features and security patches.
Apart from Harmony OS 4.0, the Chinese manufacturer is rumoured to announce the Huawei Mate 60 5G at the HDC 2023 event. As mentioned above, it will be the brand’s first 5G flagship phone after facing US sanctions. While the Mate 60 series is expected to be announced at HDC 2023, the company will hold a dedicated launch event for it in September or October this year.
In addition, a tipster has hinted that the company may also announce other 5G-enabled devices, such as the Huawei Mate X3 5G foldable phone and the Huawei P60 5G. The company has already launched its 4G variants in the past few months in China.
The company is also rumoured to be bringing back its Kirin chipset. It appears that the chip will first be seen on mid-range or low-end smartphones. It appears that the upcoming Nova 12 series may feature a new Kirin chipset.
