Honor 9X spotted running Harmony OS 2.0 beta 3.0

Harmony OS 2.0 beta 3.0 Honor 9X

Last month we reported regarding the Honor 9X Harmony OS beta concern that this smartphone will soon be upgraded to the company’s own Hongmeng/Harmony OS.

Two years ago Honor launched its first pop-up selfie camera phones – Honor 9X and 9X Pro with Kirin 810 processor and more. Honor 9X was initially launched with EMUI 9.1, then upgraded to EMUI 10.0, and then on EMUI 10.1 (Mainland).

HonmengOS is a microkernel-based operating system that enables smart connection among different devices and provides a seamless cross-device user experience. Last December, Huawei opened the HarmonyOS 2.0 mobile beta program for the developer and initially started to register Huawei P40, Mate 30, and MatePad Pro devices.

Now, a well-known Weibo tipster, Digital King, Honor 9X mobile phones will be upgraded to Huawei Hongmeng operating system during the year and he released the Huawei Harmony OS UI, revealing some of the current statuses of the internal testing of the phone. The smartphone is now also in the Beta 3.0 version of the HarmonyOS 2.0 system.
