On March 30, 2025, the Huawei Pura X foldable phone was officially launched. This is the world’s first phone pre-installed with the full-blooded Hongmeng operating system.
Since then, more and more Huawei devices, new and old, have started to come with the full-blooded Hongmeng operating system, now known as HarmonyOS 5.
Today, the domestic Hongmeng operating system has undergone another transformation: HarmonyOS 6 has officially arrived!
What new, industry-first features does HarmonyOS 6 bring? Let me show you a preview right away!
The “HarmonyOS 6 Special Press Conference” was hosted by Huawei’s Yu Chengdong. Mr. Yu said the number of HarmonyOS 5 devices has exceeded 23 million;
In terms of application adaptation, Mr. Yu specially invited representatives from Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, JD.com, etc. to explain. Most applications have been iterated over a hundred times.
Compared to the current HarmonyOS 5, the overall proficiency of HarmonyOS 6 has increased by 15%!
Hey, I know what you’re thinking. The adaptation of the game that matters most to you is not absent;
In addition, the data of most games can be inherited from the Hongmeng system. You can still play games with your teammates even after changing phones!
There are several games that I’m very concerned about, like Naruto, Teamfight Tactics, Delta Force, Genshin Impact, Break – In, etc.
Um… Did I just state my preferences?
Ahem, in particular, Delta Force’s performance has been greatly optimized, with the minimum frame rate increased by 24%;
Genshin Impact has been synced with the latest version on all platforms and its power consumption has been significantly reduced;
Taking the Mate 70 Pro as a reference, you can play these two games continuously for 4 hours on a full charge.
Additionally, other games are also continuously optimized. The startup speed of dozens of games has been increased by 5 times!
Huawei also confidently stated that the speed of starting the same game on its devices is faster than any competitor!
In addition, relying on its powerful multi-device interconnection capability, HarmonyOS 6 pioneered the global “One-touch Team-up” technology for phones;
As long as players have a HarmonyOS 6 phone, they can form a team by tapping their phone after entering the same game;
This feature also supports one-to-many connections. When you have a party with friends and want to play a five-player game together, you don’t need to add friends repeatedly!
However, the adaptation of this function is currently quite limited. It only supports a few games and will require further development.
In daily use, relying on Ark Compiler, the speed of opening applications of HarmonyOS 6 increased by another 11%;
Page loading speed increased by 21%, information feed display speed increased by another 30%; even the speed of product retrieval on e-commerce platforms has increased by 20%.
I’m not kidding…HarmonyOS 6 is so detailed!
In addition, HarmonyOS 6 opened a new chapter in the field of film and television by launching the domestic self-developed HDR Vivid live streaming encoding;
And the first to achieve this feat is the well-known “Bilibili”. Shouldn’t we shout “Bilibili is awesome”?
Meanwhile, the large file data processing capability of HarmonyOS 6 has been further improved. It only takes 0.6 seconds to open a 1GB PDF file;
It only takes 3.5 seconds to decompress a 2GB compressed package. Additionally, the larger the data package, the greater the processing speed advantage of HarmonyOS 6.
Besides daily and entertainment experiences, system security has also become a priority for people.
The Star Shield architecture of the HarmonyOS 6 system has been upgraded again, bringing new active security capabilities!
Huawei attaches great importance to system security. They even invited an actor to film a video, which made me laugh so much.
Hey, what does “All Zeros” mean? I think the comments on the live broadcast are a bit confusing, haha~
Coming back to the topic, this active safety has two parts: system-initiated active safety and user-initiated active safety.
So-called system-initiated active security means that the system can actively intervene in high-risk behaviors, such as one-time file encryption and anti-espionage;
More importantly, the system can detect high-risk calls, text messages and transactions. When a call involves telecom fraud, the system can actively intervene or even terminate the call;
When a user installs illegal remote control software, the system will actively lock the interface, etc.
In terms of user-initiated active security, HarmonyOS 6 pioneered the family anti-fraud feature. If the administrator sets a phone number blacklist, the blacklist will be automatically shared among all family members’ devices;
When a family member receives a scam call, the system reminds other family members that “someone is currently engaging in high-risk behavior”;
After receiving the reminder, family members can remotely force – hang up the scam call and lock functions such as money transfers on the family member’s phone.
I have to say I was really shocked when I saw these active safety protections.
It is difficult for older people to defend themselves against telecommunications fraud;
But with the active security protection of the Hongmeng Star Shield, young people can interrupt high-risk behaviors such as telecommunications fraud and money transfers at any time!
This is also one of the advantages of the operating system developed by ourselves. HarmonyOS 6’s security performance definitely lives up to its reputation.
OK, here are the new and powerful features of HarmonyOS 6. In addition to these, the new system has also optimized many details;
Next, I will share with you some functions that seem very practical to me.
I think the most important thing here is “Huawei Share”. It has a new one-to-many transfer feature, and in the future it will even be able to transfer data with the iOS ecosystem via OTA updates!
Oh my goodness, even HarmonyOS, which seems so honest, “integrates” with Apple. It’s so funny.
Then there is the transfer of data between devices. HarmonyOS 6 launched the gaze-based transfer feature;
When a user drags a file with a mouse, they simply look at the device they want to transfer the file to, and the file will automatically be sent to that device.
Intelligent agent Xiaoyi has undergone a major transformation. Xiaoyi is directly connected to dozens of third-party intelligent assistants. You can have seamless conversations between multiple intelligent agents without manual switching.
For example, when watching videos, you can ask Xiaoyi to place an order using the JD.com assistant in the background, and then confirm payment when a pop-up appears.
Finally, the “Xiaoyi Sees the World” feature really touched me. It is specially designed for people with disabilities. Xiaoyi can help visually impaired people distinguish things from the outside world;
