The situation that revolves around Huawei is quite confusing, since it is very difficult to find out what the next step for the Chinese brand will be. Since the veto by the United States, the company began working on HarmonyOS and it was at that moment that rumors began to emerge about its arrival in Spain and, now, the flame has been rekindled again.
As indicated by Huawei Central, the one that was for a time the global technology giant is sending the HarmonyOS 2.0 update to certain smartphones in its global version that originally run EMUI 12. The arrival of the new operating system by Huawei has been unknown all this time, since at first they announced that it would not leave China, although it was at the end of last year when they confirmed that it would land in the rest of the countries along throughout the present 2022.
Huawei, better late than never
One of the insiders on the website pointed out that he received HarmonyOS on a global Huawei Nova 9 , which came to market with EMUI 12 under the hood. This is a truly interesting fact, because they do not understand how this can happen if the Asian company has not actually mentioned anything about it.
However, there is an explanation for this strange event that they have investigated from Huawei Central. The version suggests that it comes from the software compilation from outside of China, which are developed for mobiles from the Southeast Asian region. The models that are available in this market are eligible for upgrades from outside the country.
At first, this question may seem somewhat confusing, but it is easy to understand with the following. Huawei’s Chinese smartphones are marked as such and integrate Chinese system firmware. Instead, there is a non-Mainland China-specific version of devices distributed in Hong Kong.
There are some releases in this region that landed with EMUI, but it was at the beginning of the year that the company started testing HarmonyOS 2.0 on Huawei Nova 9, P50 Pro and P50 Pocket models to end up installing a stable version. So, for the moment, Spain is left without the new operating system until further notice.
The only way to have HarmonyOS
Huawei Central colleagues indicate that any user who has purchased one of these Huawei phones in Southeast Asian countries , such as Malaysia, the Philippines or Singapore, could obtain HarmonyOS 2.0 completely legally. To do this, you would only have to change the region of the device to Hong Kong. However, there are some very specific cases that are automatically requesting the new version even with EMUI 12.
For the European market and specifically Spain there is no news about any change in this regard, so it is possible that you will run into problems when updating your Huawei in an illegal way. In short, only the models connected to the Chinese server would be experiencing this system update. The truth is that it has generated a lot of expectation in the community, which seems to have to wait a little longer to see its phone renewed.
