It combines system-level artificial intelligence, agent-based task execution, spatial visual interfaces, and updated performance, security, and connectivity features. Its supported-device range includes smartphones, tablets, personal computers, and wearables, although release status and available capabilities differ by product. (huawei.com)"

      "heading": "Introduction and rollout",
      "text": "Huawei announced the HarmonyOS 7 developer beta at its developer conference in Dongguan, China, on June 12, 2026. The announcement introduced an agent-oriented system architecture, version 2.0 of the HarmonyOS agent framework, spatial-computing capabilities, and changes to the Ark performance engine. (huawei.com)\n\nThe first public-beta program began on September 7, 2026. Huawei’s upgrade documentation distinguishes stable releases from public-beta releases rather than treating availability as a single event across all devices. The published upgrade program covers specified models sold in mainland China; it does not establish equivalent availability for devices sold in other markets. (consumer.huawei.com)"

    {
      "heading": "AI agents and application integration",
      "text": "A central feature is the integration of AI agents into system services and application workflows. Huawei describes the architecture as “agent-friendly”: a user’s request can become a task that the system plans and executes through applications, system functions, and third-party agents, instead of requiring the user to perform each operation separately. (huawei.com)\n\nThe HarmonyOS agent framework 2.0 supplies a common mechanism for connecting user intentions with applications, callable skills, and other agents. It combines on-device processing with cloud computing, allocating planning work according to task complexity and available device resources. Huawei’s system assistant, Xiaoyi, uses system context to interpret requests and invoke these capabilities. (huawei.com)\n\nFor developers, Huawei announced more than 20 system-level AI capabilities and access to graphical-interface control. Its accompanying development-tool program includes updates to DevEco Studio and AI-assisted tools such as DevEco Code and DevEco CLI. These are development facilities associated with the platform, rather than applications that every device owner must use. (huawei.com)"

      "heading": "Interface, performance, and connectivity",
      "text": "The interface introduces light-responsive animations, three-dimensional cards, spatial wallpapers, and depth-based effects in applications such as Weather and Calendar. Huawei also presents spatial reconstruction and three-dimensional content as application-development capabilities. (consumer.huawei.com)\n\nThe Ark engine incorporates a performance model intended to anticipate resource requirements using factors such as application importance, usage patterns, time, and location. Announced gaming features include AI-based image upscaling and enhanced high-dynamic-range rendering. Huawei’s performance comparisons are laboratory results tied to particular devices, software versions, and workloads, not uniform measurements for every supported product. (huawei.com)\n\nCross-device functions include proximity-triggered sharing, distribution of photographs or videos to multiple devices, encrypted sharing, and remote file transfer. Individual functions depend on compatible devices and software support. (consumer.huawei.com)"

      "heading": "Security and privacy",
      "text": "HarmonyOS 7’s security features include detection of suspected synthetic voices, risky webpages and QR codes, and suspicious sequences involving calls, browsing, and payment applications. Huawei explicitly characterizes AI fraud warnings as risk indicators rather than guarantees of protection. (consumer.huawei.com)\n\nFor data privacy in cloud-assisted AI, Huawei describes HarmonyOS Personal Intelligent Computing, abbreviated HPIC, as providing isolated cloud computation and deletion of processing data after use. These are Huawei’s stated design properties, rather than an unconditional claim that every AI interaction is processed locally. (consumer.huawei.com)"

    {
      "heading": "Device support and ecosystem figures",
      "text": "Huawei’s support list includes stable releases for selected Mate 80, Mate 70, Pura 90, and Pura 80 phones, alongside specified tablets, computers, and watches. Other products, including selected Mate 60 and Pura 70 models, appear under public-beta availability. Support for the operating-system version does not imply support for every advertised feature. (consumer.huawei.com)\n\nOn September 19, 2026, Huawei reported more than 85 million devices running HarmonyOS 6 and HarmonyOS 7 combined. That figure is not a HarmonyOS 7-only installation count. The company separately reported OpenHarmony ecosystem totals, which likewise should not be interpreted as the installed base of this particular release. (huawei.com)"
