消息称华为在测全新电池材料 + 电芯体系：容量将达行业最高水平，落地可能远超 10000mAh

Huawei Terminal announced that the HarmonyOS-based Zhixing Zhijie V9 flagship MPV will feature an intelligent privacy dimmable glass that supports brightness adjustment and instant shading via a hand gesture. The V9 is billed as HarmonyOS Zhixing's first flagship MPV and will be unveiled on May 15; Huawei executive Yu Chengdong confirmed the launch. The smart privacy glass continues a design trend in Huawei’s vehicle lineup, following similar implementations in the AITO M9 (2025) and the Zunjie S800, signaling Huawei’s push to integrate smart cabin tech across models. The feature underscores Huawei’s focus on in-car smart features and experiential differentiation for automotive products.

Huawei executive Richard Yu announced that HarmonyOS-backed flagship MPV Zhijie V9 will be launched on May 15, with preorders already open from April 22 and a starting pre-sale price of ¥399,800. The V9 is the first flagship MPV from HarmonyOS Drive, built on Huawei’s flagship 9-series Tuling MPV custom platform, featuring front double-wishbone and rear H-arm multi-link suspension and standard rear-wheel steering. It comes in four trims (Max, Max+, Ultra, Ultra+), offers range-extender powertrains with rear- or four-wheel drive and seven seats, and wheel options of 19- or 20-inch. Optional premium features include privacy dimming glass, an intelligent refrigerated car fridge, and an in-car oxygen system. The model underscores Huawei’s deeper push into smart vehicles and in-car ecosystems.

Huawei’s chip foundational research lab at the Lianqiuhu (练秋湖) R&D center in Shanghai was publicly shown on state TV’s Xinwen Lianbo on May 8, and founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei made a rare on-camera appearance. The lab is described as a potential core facility supporting development of Kirin SoCs, Kunpeng CPUs and Ascend AI chips, though formal details remain scarce. Lianqiuhu is Huawei’s largest global R&D campus, completed in 2024, spanning roughly 2,400 acres and intended to house over 30,000 engineers; it has been positioned as a strategic hub for Huawei’s chip, cloud and automotive efforts. The broadcast signals Huawei’s emphasis on domestic chip capabilities amid global tech competition.

消息称华为鸿蒙 HarmonyOS 系统通知与来电音量设置将在下个版本分离，Pura 90 标准版已先行推送

Huawei has officially scheduled its Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2026 for June 12–14, with early-bird tickets already on sale. The company’s HarmonyOS developer channel confirmed the event will unveil a new HarmonyOS version, introduce core Harmony AI capabilities, and announce fresh ecosystem achievements. Earlier rumors suggesting Huawei would skip HarmonyOS 7 are contradicted by this confirmation, though Huawei has not yet disclosed the new release’s version number or codename. The lineup signals Huawei’s continued push on its OS roadmap and AI integration across devices, which matters to developers, device makers, and partners tracking platform updates and ecosystem incentives.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS will separate notification and ringtone volume controls in its next update, and the Pura 90 standard edition has already received that change, per a Weibo tip and IT Home. The Pura 90 standard, now on sale in China, ships with a Kirin 9010S SoC, a 6.8-inch FHD+ LTPO OLED (1–120Hz), 50MP main and periscope telephoto cameras, a 12.5MP ultrawide, 6500mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, and a 7.0mm, ~210g chassis. A user asked about app-specific volume controls; the responder said there are no plans. The split volume control improves UX for call vs. notification audio management on HarmonyOS devices.
