Huawei's HarmonyOS NEXT Starts Public Beta, Communication Sharing and Other Updates

TapTechNews October 8th news, Huawei's pure-blooded HarmonyOS NEXT started public beta testing today at 10:08. The first batch of public beta models includes: Huawei Mate 60 series, Mate X5 series mobile phones and Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch series tablets.

Today, some netizens said that the tablet (with HarmonyOS NEXT system) and the mobile phone (with the current HarmonyOS system) cannot be used in conjunction with the communication sharing function, and asked whether the new system and the old system can connect the super terminal. The blogger @Adak Fenglangjuxu replied that The communication sharing plan will be launched by the end of the year.

TapTechNews note: The communication sharing function is a device interconnection function that Huawei added to the HarmonyOS 3.0 system in 2022. This function can share the communication and network capabilities of the mobile phone to the tablet. By enabling the multi-device communication sharing function, devices without communication capabilities (such as some tablets, etc.) within 1 meter nearby can access the Internet, make and receive calls, and send and receive messages by borrowing the communication capabilities of the mobile phone.

In addition, some netizens asked whether the ring design of the super terminal in the HarmonyOS NEXT system can be added back. The blogger said, No, it's a thing of the past.

According to the report earlier today, the currently highly concerned WeChat native version for HarmonyOS has begun internal testing invitations, and more than 20 Tencent apps are also being gradually adapted. It is worth noting that the TapTechNews App and the Most Will Buy App have officially launched the native 1.0 version of HarmonyOS, and users can search and directly download and use them in the app store.
