At the HarmonyOS 2 and Huawei full-scene new product launch conference on June 2, the long-awaited HarmonyOS 2 was officially released, and users of the Huawei Mate40 series can already apply to experience this new operating system. I believe that many netizens are very curious about the upgrades of this HarmonyOS compared to the previous EMUI system? Hope this article can bring you useful help!
The UI style is unchanged, the details are better
At first glance at HarmonyOS 2, you may feel that is familiar with . By comparison, it can be found that although the new HarmonyOS 2 adds some Android-like widgets to the main screen, the UI interface style is similar to the previous EMUI 11, and even the icons have not changed much. In fact, this is also easy to understand: the vast majority of ordinary users are not enthusiasts , if the interface changes too much after the mobile system upgrade, it will inevitably make ordinary users feel at a loss. Especially for some old users with older grades, the change of icons may bring unexpected troubles. So this time HarmonyOS did not make obvious changes to the UI style, but kept it as consistent as possible with the original system.
In addition, the upgrade of HarmonyOS 2 has also achieved seamless connection. From EMUI 11, you can upgrade to HarmonyOS 2 directly through system update, and you can retain complete mobile phone data without data loss due to cross-version upgrade. WeChat chat data, logged in game account , etc. will be completely preserved. Moreover, the newly added "universal card" on the home page is also significantly different from the traditional Android widgets. The content it displays will change continuously according to the user's use. Take the weather component as an example, it can be used to display the time and weather, and also It can be used as a shortcut startup entry for applications.
But if you look closely, you will find that the icon font of HarmonyOS has some changes, such as reducing the shadow of the font and looking more flat. And this new system also adopts the brand-new Hongmeng Heibody, which has an average literal rate of up to 91%, and is optimized according to various factors such as screen resolution , viewing distance, device size, etc., so as to achieve more comfortable reading effect. The interface set by
HarmonyOS also adds a rounded rectangle card style, and similar functions are more clearly distinguished.
Super Terminal Everything can be connected
After experiencing HarmonyOS 2 in depth, you will find that it is still different from the previous EMUI system. The first is to divide the menu into two parts: "Notification" and " control center". Pull your finger down from the top left of the screen to show notifications, and pull down from the right to open Control Center. The design of
is also to strengthen the role of "control center". After all, HarmonyOS is an "interconnection of all things" system. It is not only used in smart phones, but also widely used in smart screen , smart speakers and even electric motors. on car . Therefore, in the future, some devices related to HarmonyOS can be controlled on mobile phones running HarmonyOS. The
control center also adds a "Hyper Terminal", where you can see other devices that can open collaborative office , such as notebook and tablet computer. After clicking on the device, you can enable the "multi-screen collaboration" function on the corresponding screen, and project the screen of the mobile phone to the large screen of the notebook or tablet, MateView display, and smart screen, so that the mobile phone and the large-screen device can be linked together to improve the work efficiency .Below the
hyperterminal, you can also see smart devices connected to the same Huawei account, such as routers, electric toothbrushes, desk lamps , early education machine , etc. Users can easily view and operate IoT devices at home here. In the
settings, the "Hyper Terminal" option will be more abundant. Here, you can see online devices and other bound devices under the same Huawei account. Click the device name of the machine, you can see the option of "Allow to be discovered". If there are other Huawei HarmonyOS devices around, you can use this function to access the camera and microphone of this phone, so that devices without cameras can also have Photo and video functions. Let different devices learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, which is also a feature of Huawei's HarmonyOS Internet of Everything.
In addition, you can see a "Multi-device collaborative recommendation" option in "More HyperTerminal Settings", which can be used in conjunction with surrounding devices when watching videos and listening to music on the mobile phone. For example, establishing multi-screen collaboration with notebooks, or projecting videos from mobile phones to smart screens, or using smart speakers to replace the external speakers of mobile phones. As smart home products equipped with HarmonyOS become more and more abundant in the future, this function will become more powerful. The
HyperTerminal also supports the functions of "multi-device file browsing" and "multi-device gallery browsing" functions. For example, after Huawei mobile phone and tablet establish a collaboration, they can browse each other's files and galleries. It is very useful for users who have multiple Huawei devices at the same time.
Negative one screen service upgrade
Huawei has also re-arranged the "negative one screen" of HarmonyOS. This time, HarmonyOS 2 adopts a new visual design language and presents many functions through cards.For example, in the "negative screen", functions such as time, weather, express , health and other functions are divided into cards style one by one, which makes the display of content more intuitive and greatly improves the efficiency of screen utilization.
Each card also provides different display styles. For example, the "weather" card has two styles, one large and one small. When using a large-sized card, more content will be displayed, and the visual effect of the card will also change with the weather. Changes have changed, and it is more obvious at a glance.
In addition, the display of "Service Center" is also added to the negative screen. Some functions of the existing APP in the mobile phone can be added to the service center, such as viewing the orders of Jingdong Mall, displaying the hot search list of Weibo, and one click. Taobao receives red envelopes, etc. In addition, APPs that are not installed in the mobile phone can also be settled in the service center in a way similar to "quick application", and users can directly use the function of the service account, which saves downloading and installation, which is more convenient.
Tighten application permissions and strengthen privacy protection
In the past, when everyone used Android phones, the most troublesome problem was that the permissions of applications under the Android system were too high, resulting in personal privacy data being easily leaked. HarmonyOS strengthens privacy protection and avoids user data leakage from many aspects.
For example, HarmonyOS adopts "pure mode" by default. Apps downloaded through the app market must strictly abide by the "Huawei Terminal Quality Inspection and Security Review Standards", and conduct real-name authentication, shelf inspection, download and installation protection, and operation protection for developers. Multiple detection, users can download with confidence.
At the same time, HarmonyOS also imposes strict requirements on the collection of personal information, targeted push, and permission requests by apps. Apps listed on the app market need to be free from forcibly requesting permissions, not applying for permissions in advance, and not applying for irrelevant permissions.
At present, Huawei's comprehensive privacy and security protection for users has also been recognized by authoritative certification agencies around the world. Among them, HarmonyOS security capabilities have reached the highest level in the industry: the TEE OS security kernel has obtained the highest security level of the global commercial operating system kernel CC EAL5+ Certification. At the same time, the entire operating system of HarmonyOS has also obtained the China highest level security certification CC EAL4+ security certification. Therefore, there is no need to worry about privacy and security.
Performance upgrade, smoother system, applications and games Stuck and stopped. It is actually measured that after upgrading HarmonyOS 2, the transition animation of the mobile phone is much smoother than before, and with the high refresh rate screen, the display effect is also more delicate.
At the same time, HarmonyOS also improves the memory utilization. In the past, due to the low operating efficiency of the Android system, if there were too many applications opened on the phone at the same time, some of the previously opened applications would be "reloaded", and some applications were even blocked by in the background. "killed", resulting in missed receiving message pushes. HarmonyOS can use the background keep-alive technology to make some high-frequency applications "permanently online", such as Taobao, Weibo, , today's headline and other APPs, even if you switch to the background for a long time and then open it, it will directly display the last time Browsing interface.
HarmonyOS also supports dynamic memory compression and application predictive loading capabilities. It can predict the application that will be launched in the next step in advance according to the user's usage habits, so that the application startup speed is doubled, and large files can be opened in seconds.
Summary
Although many netizens upgrade their Huawei mobile phones to HarmonyOS, the first impression may feel that there is not much difference between the original EMUI 11. However, after the actual experience, the charm of HarmonyOS will be discovered from some details, especially users who have purchased Huawei notebooks, smart screens, smart speakers and HiLink Huawei smart home products at home can experience more through the "super terminal". Many convenient functions.
and a purer application market, better rights management and privacy protection, as well as the smooth performance experience brought by the system architecture upgrade, these will make people feel that their mobile phones have indeed changed significantly. It is believed that with the continuous upgrade of HarmonyOS and the further improvement of the ecology, users will also get a better experience. Finally, let me tell you how to upgrade to HarmonyOS: Apply for experience in the HarmonyOS column in "My Huawei". After the application, the system will push "HarmonyOS Experience Officer Recruitment". In addition, users can also go to Huawei's offline experience store. On-site registration and upgrades.
