One UI 7

[Crauford]

This One UI 7 update delay proves why my daily driver will always be Huawei! I bought my S24 Ultra & Huawei Pura 70 Pro the same month & here we are a year later. Samsung still no major OS update while My Huawei has already gotten HarmonyOS 4.4 & recently HarmonyOS 5 ( Both Beta & Stable) all in the same year!

Samsung struggling to get Android 15 on their devices yet we already have Android 16 Beta on Google Pixel Devices🤦 Samsung is just a sad product & I'm afraid I'm just gonna switch to a Xiaomi or Pixel for my second device. No delays or issues like Samsung EVER!

Which country did you buy the Pura 70 pro? Cause in 🇿🇦 every Huawei phone has EMUI 14 or lower based on android 12 👀 I am yet to see a Harmony OS outside of China. I have been following the Harmony OS China only for some time, and no news came, and I sold my Mate 40 pro for peanuts cause of lack of updates. I since then had S22 Ultra and so on till S24 Ultra

EMUI 14 is based on Android 14 AOSP not Android 12 & if you catch it at the right time you can change your region to Mainland China in the device settings & in the My Huawei App, you can get it to HarmonyOS 4.4 & then HarmonyOS 5

This is the issue I have with this, users shouldn't have to go through all this for an update. Harmony OS looked very promising to me, and I was excited and then got disheartened and then disappointed as it's been years since Harmony has been developed yet it's only said it's coming in 2025/26 this has been the case since it's announcement

[Crauford]

Huawei does have plans to globalise Harmony OS, they have been working on gathering app developers from major named applications to create Harmony OS App versions before a global release or else it would be a problem for global users as the new HarmonyOS 5 does not support APK no more so you can not install any Android Apps. This the reason why Huawei wants a full suite of global apps available before a global launch and I respect them for that. We will get HarmonyOS global in due time.

[Jacques88]

They have been hinting at Global since it's launch in 2019. They have been using the Covid pandemic, the US ban, and the APK issue as an excuse. They even used the lack of app gallery content as an excuse 🫣
This is why I left Huawei for Samsung and now Samung pulls this stunt 😂

[Crauford]

I know what you mean. There has been delays with HarmonyOS global & I think it's to-do with having HarmonyOS & EMUI to run & develop at the same time. Once HarmonyOS becomes its main & only OS I'm pretty sure it will stabilize & have smooth global rollouts. Most likely before I even get One UI 7 even🤣 I hate that Samsung could not even have a global Beta Launch. Apple & Huawei have global Beta launches.

This only works on China Variants, my wife had a Pura 70. So yeah there is this and that lol😂

[Crauford]

No it works on global. You just need to wait for the OpenHarmony Beta & join it. Then when a stable version comes out it will update to it. This is done so Chinese people outside of China can also test the OpenHarmony Beta. Again only if you get it at a specific moment for OpenHarmony Beta you can get it. If you trying to get a stable release right away it won't work on a global Huawei

Tag me DM me when there is an update. I'd like to try it out
