X tipster @UniverseIce recently noticed the creativity level of One UI 7.0 in one of its early builds. He says that the software is still in development. But new testing builds hint at positive improvements regarding the User Interface and stability.

The tipster further reveals that One UI 7.0 will bring redesigned widgets and many icons. For instance, the Samsung Gallery app will get a new app icon again.

Not only applications but the upcoming software update may also change the in-content tool and feature icons of the Gallery app. Apart from the Samsung Gallery, users could discover more new innovative app icons with the One UI 7.0 beta.

Speaking of the widgets, the tipster mentioned that One UI 7 will likely bring some incomparably rich widgets. These might deliver smarter tools and capabilities over the rival operating systems. But the details aren’t clear for the time being.

A report by ETNews also claims that Samsung is working on the stability and completeness of the One UI 7.0 user interface. The company continues to perform new internal tests that can improve the new software’s UI to a greater extent.

Samsung is putting efforts to make its upcoming One UI upgrade the best for its device users. This is probably a reason why the company is taking time to roll out the first beta update. How far the tech giant will extend this wait would be worth seeing.

Weibo tipster @smartchipguide shared the Chinese foldable market data for Q3 2024 in which Huawei and Honor are at the top. Both companies together account for 70% of the total Chinese folding phone market share in the third quarter.

Among these two rankers, Huawei holds 44.7% of the Chinese foldable market share and sits at the top. Honor accounts for 25.6%, ranking at the second spot.

Huawei has launched some interesting foldable phones in the first half of this year. In Q1 2024, the company showcased the Pocket 2 flip-flip model with an impressive design, a quad-camera setup, and several other amazing capabilities.

The tech giant then introduced a mid-range clamshell product – the Nova Flip. It arrived as a cost-effective folding device with new UI changes, AI features, and effective camera upgrades. And let’s not forget about the world’s first tri-fold!

Mate XT triple foldable gathered the spotlight, dimming the glow of the iPhone 16 series in September (Q3 2024). Its thin battery, three screens, Z form factor, and new AI capabilities accelerated the company’s growth in the foldable sector.

Honor has also brought three foldable phones this year. The list counts the company’s first clamshell device – Magic V Flip. Hereafter, the OEM launched Magic V3 and Vs3. The Magic V3 is considered the thinnest and smartest foldable to date.

Top 5 rankers

With new creations, Huawei and Honor have stolen the foldable show in China. Thus, the report could be accurate to some extent. Let’s check the other rankers.

Xiaomi follows in third position with 16.2% market share. Vivo and OPPO own 6.9% (fourth) and 2.5% (fifth) respectively. The rest of the market share is taken by other tech vendors present in the Chinese foldable phone ground. These rankings increased the overall market growth by 24% month-on-month.

Honor and Xiaomi are also in rumors for developing a tri-fold phone after the champion Huawei Mate XT. If true, these upcoming products will ultimately raise the standard of foldable phones in the Chinese consumer market.

Every month, the company updates its security patch details. Alongside, it adds or removes devices from the rollout list based on their compatibility. The current month is no exception to this theory and Huawei has shared the eligible models list.

The details describe two sections: monthly and quarterly. Huawei devices in the former section get the benefits of regular security rollouts while those in the quarterly part fetch new security improvements once in three months.

Note that Huawei has not yet started the October 2024 update distribution. Also, the company rolls these security firmware in batches. Hence, it takes some days to cover all the eligible units in a particular region. You can try out a manual installation.

To download the update manually, go to Settings > System & Updates > Software Updates. Now click on CHECK FOR UPDATES and let the device search for new versions. To the available one, hit the Download and Install tab. You can check the compatible Huawei devices for the EMUI October 2024 update below.

CINNO Research has released a new report entitled “After 46 months, Huawei Chinese smartphone sales exceeded Apple again in August 2024.” The report reveals the current status of the smartphone market in China and the top rankers.

The report highlights the overview of the smartphone market based on the monthly development trend in September 2024. It covers the sales volume, brand analysis, and the top smartphone brand that has been on the top in the last few months.

Inputs reveal that Huawei has given a tough fight to the Apple iPhone sales in China after 46 months. The company’s market share in the Chinese high-end smartphones (above 6000 yuan) has been gradually increasing due to new creations.

Huawei’s sharp rise in market share is ultimately putting more pressure on Apple. The US tech giant is already declining in the Chinese phone market. Meanwhile, heavy competition from Chinese rivals is pushing Apple further back in the ranking.

Mate 60 series launched last year, resulted in immense popularity – thanks to the Kirin 5G chip and the satellite calling feature. The previous-gen models led to booming sales which once again increased the brand’s value in the Chinese smartphone business.

After four years of hustles, Huawei topped the Chinese smartphone market in Q1 2024 with a sales increase of 110% YoY. The report further states that the company won the tag of No.1 in H1 2024 Chinese smartphone sales with a market share of 17.5%.

Huawei has also launched new phones like Pocket 2, Pura 70 series, and Nova Flip which increased the company’s sales revenue this year. Also, the Mate 70 series is in the pipeline and expected to add a new hike in the brand’s sales section.

FixedFocus noted that Huawei will launch three Nova 13 models, unlike last year. This time, the company could skip the Lite Edition from the Nova phone series.

The tipster further stated that Huawei might not launch any Nova handset below 2000 yuan in the future. Clarifying the details, another tipster in the comment section said that the Huawei Nova 13 series price will likely start at 3000 yuan.

Last year, Huawei launched the standard Nova 12 smartphone starting at 2999 yuan (256GB variant). Meanwhile, other versions ranged from 3000 to 5000 yuan. These models are currently available with up to a 500 yuan discount at VMall.

The exact cost details of the Nova 13 series are unclear at present. But it would probably be above 3000 yuan and may further increase depending on the top-end variants and their RAM + storage options. Let’s wait for more info on this subject.

Nova 13 series key specs have surfaced online ahead of its launch. As per the details, the high-end models of the lineup could sport a triple camera system on the back. These will feature a full glass back panel and a single-hole design at the front.

Huawei may showcase a new Purple shade this time as the star color of the Nova 13 series. All models will likely bear the 5G capability and sport a new display technology with 1.5K resolution for an impressive and dynamic visual experience.

Speaking of the standard Nova 13 variant, it will likely adopt the same camera system as the Nova 12. Other upgrades of the new smartphones may be unveiled by the next week. We’ll keep you posted with the latest details on this topic.

Weibo tipster @BrotherRuiDigital says that the Huawei HarmonyOS 4.4 is coming. The software seems laggy but extraordinary. It may go official in the next few weeks.

Responding to the leak, a few netizens said that Huawei might be releasing this software as the last “HarmonyOS 4” version for its devices, making them compatible with the next major upgrade. Hereafter, the company will unveil the HarmonyOS NEXT.

Some also said that Huawei might introduce this software system with the Nova 13 series. The high-end smartphone lineup is expected to launch this month. These new models could come out of the box with the HarmonyOS 4.4 operating system.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed any such details about a new software system so far. Although the company may launch such a feature for its old devices after the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta release for eligible handsets. Yes, the new build may work as a baseline build for old devices before upgrading to the major update.

New HarmonyOS Versions

HarmonyOS 4.5: Earlier, the 4.4 build was suspected to launch with Smart TV V5 Max 110. But the company unveiled the product with HarmonyOS 4.5. Read more.

HarmonyOS 5.0: Huawei has also launched new smartwatches: the Watch GT 5 and 5 Pro with HarmonyOS 5.0. The wearables support various features and tech capabilities that are missing from the previous generation models. Read More.

A recent OTA public beta for the AITO M5 and M7 smart car series hinted at the HarmonyOS 4.4 version. The changelog revealed that Super Home Screen 2.0, the new home screen layout, and split-screen view of apps like Petal Maps supports HarmonyOS 4.4 and above versions. Later, the OEM adjusted it and mentioned 4.3.

The exact details of the new HarmonyOS version are unclear. Although we may soon get more information about this matter. Stay tuned for more revelations.

As per the patent application, Honor is planning to make a foldable that can support an all-side folding mechanism. In other words, the device can easily be folded or unfolded from multiple sides and at the same time, will maintain durability.

The patent summary shows a folding device, 2-3 rotating shafts, and an intermediate connecting element. These shafts will be attached to the back of the foldable screen (opposite to each other in pairs) allowing it to fold or unfold in multiple directions.

Here, the intermediate connecting part will remain at the near ends of each rotating shaft (close to each other). The element can easily bend, fold, or unfold the device around two shafts in the same straight line. Overall, it allows the device to fold from various sides. Interestingly, the patent summary reads:

“The usage of the foldable electronic device is more flexible and richer, which can enhance the competitiveness of the foldable electronic device.”

Since it’s only a patent, the accuracy of this figure becoming a reality is not yet clear. Honor might launch such a product in the future, probably after unveiling its tri-fold handset. Till then, we may get more details about this unique foldable phone.

Huawei introduced the world’s first triple foldable phone Mate XT last month. After the champion device, several tech vendors like Xiaomi and Samsung were in the news to soon launch their tri-folding phone. And Honor is no exception to this theory.

Inputs reveal that Honor could release a 10mm thin tri-fold phone compared to the Mate XT (12.8mm). It may launch next year around the first quarter. Other details are unknown but the company may soon reveal more info about its new creations.
