Huawei Scales HarmonyOS Across Devices and Vehicles

华为小艺简报功能在老机型回归，Mate 70 / 60 等系列逐步放开可用

Huawei confirmed that its 3D dynamic wallpaper feature, introduced in a HarmonyOS 6.1.0.120 SP30 update for Pura 90 Pro, will be expanded to more devices — including Mate 80 and Pura 80 series — with broader rollout expected in June 2026. The 3D wallpaper reacts to device motion and two-finger swipes on the lock screen to present real-time parallax effects; currently the effect is limited to the lock screen. Huawei provided a detailed compatibility list that covers multiple Mate, Pura, nova, Pocket, and MatePad tablet models. The expansion matters because it enhances user experience across Huawei’s ecosystem and signals continued refinement and platform-level feature parity as HarmonyOS 6.1 reaches more devices.

Huawei has re-enabled its Xiao Yi Briefing (小艺简报) AI assistant feature on older devices, gradually rolling availability to Mate 70 and Mate 60 series after an earlier removal. First introduced on Mate 80 with HarmonyOS 6.0.0.115 SP8, Xiao Yi Briefing uses system-level context awareness and a personal AI knowledge graph to auto-generate daily briefings from 06:00–24:00, offering consolidated to-dos, notification summaries, schedule conflict alerts, important-day reminders, weather and sleep analysis (requires Huawei wearable), memory highlights, and a personalized daily podcast. Huawei lists supported models on its site, indicating a wider HarmonyOS feature rollout that matters for user experience, device longevity, and Huawei’s ecosystem competitiveness.

Huawei updated its HarmonyOS 6.1 compatibility list, moving several devices from public beta to stable release. Newly confirmed stable devices include MateBook Pro (HarmonyOS PC), MateBook Fold, MateBook 14 Harmony edition, WATCH Ultimate 2 and multiple WATCH models, alongside a long roster of phones, tablets and other wearables. A separate public beta list still includes several Enjoy-series phones. Huawei said on May 14 that HarmonyOS 6 is now running on over 60 million devices, signaling continued expansion of its ecosystem across PCs, phones, tablets and wearables. The change matters for developers and users tracking platform maturity, app compatibility, and enterprise deployment on Huawei’s in-house OS.

Huawei's Mate 80 series has sold approximately 5.93 million units through week 19 of 2026, putting it within reach of 6 million units, according to industry observer @RD观测 and reported by IT之家. Launched on November 25, the lineup includes Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Pro Max, Pro Max Windchase edition, and RS, running HarmonyOS 6 and powered by Kirin 9020/9030/9030 Pro chips. The series features high-end specs—large batteries, fast wired and wireless charging, advanced multi-camera systems, LTPO adaptive displays, and satellite messaging—positioning it as a flagship family driving Huawei's device momentum amid competitive Chinese smartphone market dynamics. Crossing 6 million would signal strong commercial traction for Huawei's HarmonyOS-powered premium phones.

Huawei launched the first flagship MPV under its Hongmeng Zhixing brand, the ZhiJie V9, on May 15, priced from ¥389,800 to ¥519,800. The V9 debuts Hongmeng ALPS Health Cabin 3.0, a dedicated MPV flagship Huawei Tuling platform, and an in-car oxygen generation system. For ADAS, the model ships with 38 sensors across the range and is the industry’s first MPV to include a mass-produced 896-line LiDAR; early units will receive an upgrade to Huawei QianKun ZhiDrive ADS 5. This positions Huawei to expand its vehicle OS and driving-software ecosystem into premium MPVs, highlighting deeper integration of its software, sensor stack, and automotive platforms.

Huawei executive Yu Chengdong said the HarmonyOS-based Zhijie V9 MPV received over 7,000 orders within two hours of launch. Priced from ¥389,800–¥519,800 and due for deliveries in early June, the flagship MPV features a 5,359mm length, 3,250mm wheelbase, multiple interior/exterior color options, and advanced in-cabin screens including dual 17.2-inch central displays and a 21.4-inch ceiling screen. The V9 ships with 38 sensors and is the industry’s first MPV to carry a 896-line lidar, and will be among the first to get Huawei’s ADS 5 driving system. Other highlights include millisecond-response smart privacy glass, full-vehicle active noise control, ±7° rear-wheel steering, and adaptive suspension for rough-road previewing.

At the May 15 launch for the HarmonyOS-based flagship MPV Zhijie V9, Huawei executive Yu Chengdong announced the vehicle will be among the first to receive Huawei's QianKun Driving ADS 5. The V9 ships with 38 standard sensors enabling the ADS to activate anytime, recognize road scenarios, and autonomously perform horn, light, and deceleration maneuvers. Huawei touts 60 EFLOPS of cloud AI compute, a WEWA 2.0 architecture, and six-fold redundancy across safety systems. Produced with partner Chery, the V9 launched with four trims priced ¥399,800–¥529,800 and has passed 40,000 small-deposit preorders since April 22, underscoring Huawei’s push into intelligent vehicles and advanced driver assistance.

At a May 15 launch, Chery chairman Yin Tongyue said pre-orders (small deposits) for the HarmonyOS-powered Zhijie V9 MPV have exceeded 40,000 units since presales began April 22. The V9, priced from ¥399,800 to ¥529,800 across four trims, is presented as the technical flagship of Chery’s Zhijie line — a collaboration with Huawei and CEO Yu Chengdong positioned as chief designer. Chery says it has invested over ¥20 billion into Zhijie, together holding 30,000+ related patents; Huawei supplied 57 debut “black tech” features and 84 industry-first technologies. Chery also highlighted strong delivery figures for other Zhijie models and factory smart-manufacturing certifications.

Huawei executive Yu Chengdong announced at the HarmonyOS Zhixing Zhijie V9 launch that cumulative deliveries of the HarmonyOS Zhixing Zhijie R7 and S7 models have surpassed 160,000 units. The R7/S7 “double 7” refresh debuted in March with new colors, a 896-line dual-optical image-grade LiDAR and the HarmonyOS ALPS health cabin, priced from ¥239,800–¥259,800. The first batch of the 896-line LiDAR R7 began nationwide deliveries in March. The milestone underscores Huawei’s accelerating vehicle strategy and growing traction for cars built around its HarmonyOS automotive stack and sensor integration, signaling faster adoption as the company targets quicker subsequent million-unit ramps. Key players: Huawei and Yu Chengdong.

Huawei Terminal BG CEO He Gang said HarmonyOS is entering scaled growth after a recent meetup where Huawei partners celebrated reaching a 60 million-device milestone supporting HarmonyOS 6. He Gang said the ecosystem could exceed 100 million users this year despite challenges. Huawei executives previously forecast a rapid surge in HarmonyOS adoption, with Richard Yu (Yu Chengdong) projecting the 100 million mark before winter; at that time HarmonyOS 5 and 6 devices totaled about 47 million. Huawei’s latest official figure now counts over 60 million devices compatible with HarmonyOS 6, signaling accelerating device adoption and ecosystem expansion for the company’s alternative to Android.
