Huawei Developer Conference 2023 (HDC.Together) kicks off today.
At the conference, Huawei officially released the HarmonyOS 4 (Hongmeng 4) operating system. It is reported that the new HarmonyOS 4 has new breakthroughs in privacy security, AI large model capabilities and personalized interaction .
According to Huawei, Xiaoyi in HarmonyOS 4 is the first smart assistant with AI large-scale model capabilities. It can recognize user intentions through understanding natural dialogues. Many operations do not require users to use professional functional terms, and Xiaoyi can do it. Understand and execute. For example, if you want to use the weather wallpaper, the user does not need to know the exact function name, just ask Xiaoyi "How to change the wallpaper with weather effects?" or ask, "Can I set the phone wallpaper as real-time weather?"
For a smoother experience, HarmonyOS 4 brings a new Huawei Ark Engine, which consists of six parts: Huawei Ark Graphics Engine, Huawei Ark Memory Engine, Huawei Ark Scheduling Engine, Huawei Ark Storage Engine, Huawei Ark Multimedia Engine, Huawei Ark low-power engine.
Through the innovation of software and hard core cloud integration architecture, it is committed to solving basic experience problems such as performance and power consumption. With the support of this engine, HarmonyOS 4 achieves a better silky sliding effect, and the click response speed, sliding smoothness, and battery life are all improved. It also brings a smoother user experience to the interconnection of multiple devices, such as the free switching of multi-tasking in the smart cockpit and so on.
Specifically, HarmonyOS 4 has achieved significant improvements in graphics, multimedia, memory, scheduling, storage, and low power consumption, bringing a smooth experience. In addition, the Huawei Ark engine brings smooth performance without increasing power consumption, and the power consumption is always kept at a relatively low level.
In terms of privacy and security, HarmonyOS 4 has added a new application control center, which supports adding risky applications to the application control center, restricting access to sensitive data and pop-up windows; the application control center can view application security reports within 7 days and the use of personal information by applications, and Make adjustments to app permissions. Going a step further, HarmonyOS 4 also supports users to add a universal card to the desktop to understand the system security status more intuitively.
In addition, application tracking management is also a highlight. HarmonyOS 4 fully upgrades application tracking management, transforming the ability of developers to obtain device OAID (anonymous device identifier) into authorization control. App tracking management provides a unified portal for managing app tracking permissions, where users can manage whether each app is allowed to have tracking permissions to obtain OAID. If it is denied, there will be no tracking permissions, and applications will not be able to obtain OAID, which means data control. exchanged to the user.
In other respects, HarmonyOS 4 supports functions such as remote guardianship of children, Huawei super account, minor payment management upgrade, digital asset inheritance, etc., giving users the right to choose security.
From the day of the HDC conference on August 4th, Huawei will open public beta testing for 34 models including the P60 series, Mate50 series, and Mate X3, as well as 35 models including the Mate 30 series.
