It is understood that since HarmonyOS 4 was officially launched to users on August 4, more than 100 million devices have been upgraded so far. The author's Huawei Mate 40 mobile phone at home has been upgraded to HarmonyOS 4, and the experience is really good, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "fun, good-looking, and easy to use". Of course, the ability to get such a good review from users who have upgraded is mainly due to the new Huawei Ark engine.
For example, when the Mate 40 in my hand just completed the upgrade, the most obvious feeling is that HarmonyOS 4 has changed significantly in terms of vision, and when I actually use it, I will find that the silkiness of the phone has also been significantly improved to a level, even if I am watching dramas in the subway, I can get a better sense of smoothness. Up to now, more than 100 million devices have been upgraded to HarmonyOS 4, and many of Huawei's older models have benefited significantly from this upgrade.
As we all know, Huawei's Ark Engine contains 6 key engine technologies, namely Ark Graphics Engine, Ark Memory Engine, Ark Scheduling Engine, Ark Storage Engine, Ark Multi** Engine, and Ark Low Power Engine. The silk-sliding effect brought by HarmonyOS 4 is mainly due to the blessing of the Ark graphics engine. The main task of the Ark graphics engine is to optimize the energy efficiency ratio of the graphics stack and make the user's daily gaming experience smoother. HarmonyOS 4's interrupting animations have been effectively improved from different reviews**, with light and dark transitions between off and on, and silky transitions between right and rounded corners. If you are a Genshin Impact player, the experience effect of HarmonyOS 3 and HarmonyOS 4 is also very obvious, and the more intuitive feeling is that after a few rounds of games, the body temperature seems to be much lower.
The second is the Ark scheduling engine, which integrates hardware computing power performance through technologies such as converged scheduling, deterministic latency, SOC collaborative acceleration, and multi-task perception scheduling, which can effectively reduce resource conflicts and ensure the optimal supply of resources around user interaction. Apps, cards, and background tasks can be switched freely, which greatly improves the flexibility of user operations, which is reflected everywhere in our daily life.
The role of the Ark low-power engine is more like a budget-conscious project manager, integrating resources to the greatest extent, effectively reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and its endurance of existing models has been improved again through micro-core**, quiet background, low-power display, rapid sleep and other methods. In the same scenario, although the battery life of HarmonyOS 4 is not significantly different from that of HarmonyOS 3, every 1% of battery is precious for users who spend a lot of time outdoors.
As for the Ark memory engine, it effectively improves the problem of users switching back and forth between multiple APPP platforms, and we can see through the blogger's evaluation** that in multiple APP retention tests, devices equipped with HarmonyOS 4 retain 5 more APPs than devices equipped with HarmonySO 3. The Ark memory engine helps users successfully realize the freedom to switch between multiple apps on WeChat, games, and shopping platforms.
Different engines play different roles in their respective fields, and there is no doubt that upgrading to HarmonyOS 4 is a better choice for Huawei long-time users. With the help of the new HUAWEI Ark 6 engine, the system response speed, smoothness of sliding, and battery life will be improved, bringing a smooth experience without increasing power consumption. The HUAWEI Ark Engine belongs to the system capability of HarmonyOS 4, and this black technology does not need to be manually turned on by the user, as long as you upgrade to HarmonyOS 4, the HUAWEI Ark Engine will start to work. If you haven't upgraded yet, you might as well upgrade now to feel it!
