The version 2.0.0.209 of the Chinese mobile OS succeeds the one bearing the reference 2.0.0.116. Remember that this last date of June 2021. Huawei is currently deploying the new update to millions of terminals. It should be noted that this is also available for Honor devices. According to the figures of the Chinese technology giant, no less than 120 million smartphones are already benefiting from the update. For older devices, HarmonyOS 2.0.0.209 will be the first version of the operating system they receive.
This will allow Huawei Mate X2 users to install the new update. The installation package weighs approximately 1.1 GB.
Voice assistance optimized for the Mate X2
The update log contains indications of new features for the task manager. Chinese foldable smartphone users will now be able to access richer multi-device management options. The new update also brings significant changes in the management of the photo gallery.

For a more ergonomic Mate X2
The interface of a foldable smartphone is often more delicate than that of a classic model. Aware of this problem, Huawei looked for a way to facilitate the handling of its Mate X2. With the new update of HarmonyOS, the manufacturer hopes to change the situation. The functionalities provided by it are effectively aimed at simplifying the UI. For this reason, the Chinese tech giant is encouraging users to update their devices.
