Huawei unveils HarmonyOS 7 with a lot of glass-like effects, better performance | Infinium-tech

Today at its developer conference in China, Huawei took the wraps off HarmonyOS 7. It comes with an Apple-inspired Liquid Glass-like UI, and there’s a lot of talk about AI because it’s 2026 and it’s clearly inevitable.

HarmonyOS 7 is coming to Huawei’s smartphones, tablets, computers, wearables, and IoT devices. It can transform any scene into a 3D effect, projecting it onto your screen – this is most obvious on the lock screen.

System UI elements, like sliders and buttons, are more glassy, ​​and of course there’s “Agent AI” built directly into its assistant. It now supports more in-app commands and can fulfill more requests of its users than a typical AI assistant.

There will also be new AI photo editing options, and Huawei claims that its new HarmonyOS Intelligent Agent Framework 2.0 comes with “intent as a service”, whatever that means, and ensures task execution rates of “over 90%”, which sounds low to us, but maybe it’s impressive in the realm of “agent AI”.

HarmonyOS 7 also comes with a 15% performance increase compared to HarmonyOS 6.1, although we’re not sure how this is measured or what it actually means. We believe things will be faster and smoother, especially when it comes to launching apps and playing games.

The HarmonyOS 7 developer beta will be available today for eligible smartphones, and the final update is coming this autumn. Thus, Huawei’s announcement and release schedule also seems to be largely inspired by Apple.
