Huawei suddenly pushed a version of the HarmonyOS4 update two days ago, which surprised many friends. Although HarmonyOS 4 has been released for a while, it seems somewhat unnecessary to push a minor version update. In general, I'm also more inclined to focus on major iterations of the system. However, when I took a closer look at the update announcement, I found that a large number of older Huawei models were able to upgrade to the latest HarmonyOS 4. It was a pleasant surprise. It's worth noting that most of these old flagship models are equipped with Kirin 980 processors, and the performance is still strong. As a result, they were able to upgrade to the new HarmonyOS system smoothly and work well. Let's review it together. The Huawei P30 series was released in March 2019, while the Mate 20 series is much older and came out back in October 2018. These models have been released for five or six years and still have access to the latest system maintenance updates. In the entire mobile phone circle, such a situation is quite rare. Of course, some people will question whether the HarmonyOS 4 update released for this batch of old models will cut many features. To find out the truth, I specifically looked at the feedback from the users who upgraded. Overall, most of the old users gave positive comments about the update. They say that the system is significantly smoother, interrupt animations are preserved, and background running is more powerful. This series of operations undoubtedly dispelled the doubts of many netizens. Even if the new Kirin chip and new models have been launched, there is still an opportunity to bring updates to the older models. It's hard to predict whether this means that the Kirin 980 series models are about to receive their last upgrade. However, it's amazing that even such an older model can still run the latest HarmonyOS 4. It is hoped that more vendors can put more effort into the system maintenance cycle.
Huawei has released the HarmonyOS 4 update, allowing many older models to enjoy the new features and experience brought by the latest system. This not only extends the service life of older models, but also demonstrates Huawei's feedback and care for users. The Kirin 980 processor still runs the latest systems smoothly, and this cross-generational compatibility is impressive. This is confirmed by positive user reviews, who have benefited from the improvements brought about by the system update. Huawei's move may lead the mobile phone industry towards a more sustainable development.
In response to Huawei's HarmonyOS 4 update, user feedback focused on system fluency, interactive experience, and battery life. The vast majority of users are positive about the new system, believing that the system runs more smoothly, the interaction experience is smoother, and the background management is better. These optimizations not only improve the user experience, but also give new life to older models. For users, it is a real surprise to be able to enjoy the latest system updates without changing to a new machine.
(1) The significance of continuous updating of old models
For mobile phone manufacturers, it makes sense to provide continuous updates to older models. This is not only the respect and care for users, but also the guarantee and continuation of product quality. By upgrading older models to the latest systems, you can extend the life cycle of your products, reduce the frequency of users switching to new phones, and help reduce the generation of e-waste. Therefore, manufacturers should pay attention to the user group of older models, bring them a better user experience, and then enhance brand image and user loyalty.
In the current fierce competition in the mobile phone industry, the sustainable development path of system update is particularly important. By providing updates for old models, it can not only expand the user base and improve user satisfaction, but also effectively promote the development of the industry in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction. This not only makes users feel the brand's intentions, but also allows the phone manufacturer to establish a closer connection with the user. In the future, we hope that more manufacturers can learn from Huawei's practices and provide continuous system updates and maintenance for older models, so as to jointly promote the entire industry in a more sustainable direction.
Huawei's HarmonyOS 4 update brings new hope to older models and gives a new look to the user experience. The move to upgrade older models to the latest system has been well received by users, and has also triggered thinking about mobile phone manufacturers. As users, we hope to see more manufacturers like Huawei, providing continuous system updates for older models, so that users can enjoy a better user experience. This attitude of caring for and respecting users will become an important symbol of the healthy development of the industry, and will also bring more positive energy and sustainable development power.
