Huawei has been progressively introducing its HarmonyOS 4 update since its debut in August. Initially concentrating on bringing the update to suitable smartphones, the company has now shifted its focus to older wearables. Recently, it unveiled a beta program for a variety of smartwatches.
Huawei is presently seeking HarmonyOS 4 beta testers for nine of its older smartwatches, particularly in China. The roster of smartwatches eligible for the beta initiative comprises:
- Huawei Watch Buds (SGA-B19)
- Huawei Watch GT 3 46mm (JPT-B19, JPT-B29)
- Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm (MIL-B19)
- Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro 46mm (ODN-B19)
- Huawei Watch GT 3 Porsche Design (ODN-B19)
- Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro 43mm (FRG-B19)
- Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro Collector’s Edition (FRG-B19)
- Huawei Watch GT Runner (RUN-B19, RUN-B29)
- Huawei Watch GT Cyber (AND-B19)
The beta program for these devices is categorized into two versions: log and nolog. The nolog iteration offers a higher number of openings compared to the log edition.
Once individuals enlist in the beta program, they will not be able to switch back to the regular stable channel. In the upcoming weeks, they will receive various builds, encompassing closed beta, open beta, and stable versions. Ultimately, they will obtain the public stable release.
Nevertheless, for individuals in possession of the Chinese version of any of these watches and contemplating trying out the HarmonyOS 4 beta, it is advisable to wait for the official update release. This is due to the potential risk of encountering glitches and problems in the beta variant.
Regrettably, there is currently no available information regarding a parallel beta program for global users. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that all eligible devices will receive the HarmonyOS 4 update in the imminent future.
It is pertinent to highlight that Huawei's HarmonyOS 4 introduces numerous novel features and enhancements to enrich the user experience on their gadgets. The update is tailored towards delivering a seamless and interconnected ecosystem spanning various Huawei devices, enabling smoother multitasking and enhanced performance.
While the deployment of HarmonyOS 4 progresses, Huawei users can anticipate relishing the latest software modifications on their smartphones and wearables, reinforcing Huawei's dedication to furnishing a comprehensive and cutting-edge user experience.
