Let’s take a look at the key features of DevEco Studio 3.0 Beta1:
1. Support ArkUI 3.0 framework
ArkUI 3.0 is a set of declarative UI development framework for building HarmonyOS application interface. It helps developers improve the efficiency of HarmonyOS application interface development through a minimalist UI information description grammar, rich UI components and dynamic effects, and real-time interface preview capabilities.
DevEco Studio 3.0 Beta1 version supports UI development based on the ArkUI 3.0 framework, and provides the functions of “two-way speed preview” and “one-time development, multi-terminal deployment”.
(1) Support bidirectional speed preview
The components under the ArkUI 3.0 framework can be reused and combined, and the component state can also be synchronized through the data binding mechanism, so how to quickly verify the effect of the component?
This 3.0 Beta1 version provides a two-way preview function, two-way association code and built-in components of the preview interface, and linkage between the code editor, the UI interface and the component tree. For example, if a component is selected on the UI interface, the corresponding component in the component tree will be selected, and the corresponding code block in the editor will be highlighted. Similarly, when you click in the code or component tree, it will also be highlighted in the interface.
In addition, if the developer does not change the page structure and only modifies the code, the UI interface can be previewed in real time without saving. Similarly, if you modify the properties in the properties box, the corresponding properties in the code will also be modified synchronously. The code and interface can be modified in both directions, and developers can quickly adjust the interface style.
Developers only need to click the icon on the previewer interface to use the two-way preview function.
(2) Support one-time development and multi-terminal deployment
DevEco Studio 3.0 Beta1 is based on the UI adaptation capabilities of ArkUI 3.0, and provides developers with eTS language-based multi-device development project templates and card templates. When creating a project, you only need to check the required devices to achieve one-time development and adaptation. A variety of terminal equipment. At the same time, DevEco Studio also provides a multi-terminal preview function and a custom profile, allowing developers to easily see preview effects in multiple sizes, horizontal and vertical screens, bright and dark modes.
2. Low code development
The low-code development interface provided by DevEco Studio 3.0 has rich UI interface editing capabilities, which can quickly build layouts through drag-and-drop development, which effectively reduces the user’s time cost and improves the efficiency of the user’s UI interface construction.
In this version of 3.0 Beta1, the low-code development function has added support for tablet device development, atomic layout capabilities that can automatically adapt to different size interface design effects, and multi-device development switching functions, making development more efficient.
3. Scoring Tool evaluation tool
The Scoring Tool evaluation tool has been added to the 3.0 Beta1 version. Developers can connect to a local device or remote real machine through DevEco Studio, independently traverse the functions of HarmonyOS applications or atomic services, quickly perform self-tests, and view test results and scores. The currently supported test types include compatibility, performance, and design constraints. Before the integration test, you can use the Scoring Tool evaluation tool to quickly complete the above unit tests.
Specific usage method:
Developers can open the Scoring Tool evaluation tool by selecting “Tools> Scoring Tool” in DevEco Studio.
After the developer adds a local device or a remote real machine, click the Start button, and the Scoring Tool evaluation tool will independently traverse the HarmonyOS application or atomic service to quickly perform self-testing. After the test, the Scoring Tool evaluation tool will provide evaluation results, scoring and improvement suggestions.

We often get caught up in the numbers game when talking about new smartphones. We look at clock speeds, gigabytes, and chip sizes. But if you think about it, what makes you actually love using your phone every day? It is usually the little things—the way it vibrates when you type, the fullness of the sound when you watch a video, and how fast the cloud services behind your apps respond.
Huawei is tackling both sides of this coin. Brand new leaks and event announcements show that the company is working on a dual strategy. On one hand, the upcoming Mate 90 series is focusing heavily on the physical, everyday features we often overlook. On the other hand, the corporate side just laid out a massive plan for autonomous AI and cloud security at their INSPIRE 2026 event in Shanghai. Let’s break down what all of this means for you.
The Mate 90 Look: Focusing on the Features We Actually Touch
The upcoming Huawei Mate 90 series is already generating a ton of buzz because it is shifting its launch window to September. It is also bringing a brand new Kirin chip built with an advanced vertical layout to challenge global 3nm standards. But the latest supply chain whispers tell us that Huawei is spending just as much energy on the parts of the phone you physically interact with every single second.
Better Haptics: The New X-Axis Motor
Have you ever typed on a phone that felt hollow or mushy? It completely ruins the experience. Huawei wants to fix that by adding a brand-new, ultra-responsive X-axis linear haptic motor to the Mate 90 lineup. Instead of a generic buzz, this motor can produce crisp, tiny vibrations that mimic real physical buttons. Whether you are typing a quick text, scrolling through a menu, or playing a mobile game, the phone will give you clean, realistic feedback that makes the software feel alive.
Upgraded Sound: Immersive Stereo Speakers
Another big upgrade is coming to the audio setup. Most of us watch videos, take video calls, or stream music directly from our phone speakers without plugging in headphones. The Mate 90 series is rumored to feature a redesigned stereo speaker chamber system. By reworking the physical space inside the phone, Huawei is aiming for much deeper bass and clear, separated audio. It means you won’t have to cup your hand around the bottom of your phone just to hear a podcast while cooking dinner.
Huawei Cloud INSPIRE 2026: Moving Into Agentic Infrastructure
While the consumer team is polishing the physical hardware, the enterprise division is entirely focused on the future of artificial intelligence. Live from the West Bund International Convention Center in Shanghai, the Huawei Cloud INSPIRE 2026 summit just wrapped up. The big takeaway? Cloud computing is shifting from basic storage to what they call “Agentic Infrastructure.”
What is Agentic Infrastructure?
Think of normal AI as a tool that only answers when you ask it a direct question. An AI Agent, however, is different. It can think ahead, plan multi-step tasks, and make independent choices to help run a business or manage data.
Huawei’s new Agentic Infrastructure is a cloud setup built from the ground up to support thousands of these autonomous digital workers. It combines massive processing power with smart software, ensuring these AI systems can run continuously without lagging or crashing the servers.
Five Big Upgrades for AI Security and Keeping Things Legal
As AI grows more independent, security becomes a massive headache. If an AI agent is making decisions for a business, how do you keep its data safe? And how do you make sure it follows local privacy laws?
To answer this, Huawei Cloud announced five major security upgrades to its global portfolio. These upgrades act like a digital security guard, protecting sensitive data, keeping a strict eye on how AI models behave, and making sure everything complies with the changing regulatory rules in over 70 countries. It is all about turning AI from a wild, experimental tool into a safe, reliable coworker.
Connecting Your Phone to the Cloud
Why should the average user care about corporate cloud summits in Shanghai? Because the two worlds are rapidly merging. The advanced haptics, better speakers, and next-gen Kirin chips on the Mate 90 are just the gatekeepers. The real magic happens when those devices connect to a highly secure, intelligent cloud network.
When your phone can talk to a secure cloud infrastructure instantly, your voice assistants become smarter, your photo organization happens in a flash, and your data stays completely locked down away from prying eyes.
Conclusion: A Smarter, More Complete Tech Setup
Huawei is proving that a true flagship experience requires looking at the whole picture. By upgrading the overlooked physical hardware on the Mate 90 and building a secure foundation for autonomous AI in the cloud, they are preparing for the next big era of tech. Keep your eyes on September—it is going to be a very interesting fall season for tech fans!
Two tech companies, MTN Zambia and Huawei, have teamed up to fix a big problem: slow internet inside busy buildings. They just installed a brand-new system at the Mulungushi International Conference Center in Zambia, and it is the first time this specific technology has been used anywhere in the world.
Why was this needed?
More and more people in Zambia are using mobile internet to watch high-definition videos, live stream, and use cloud services. This makes the internet very slow in crowded places like airports, shopping areas, and big conference centers.
Before this new upgrade, the internet inside the Mulungushi Center was struggling. The outside cell towers couldn’t send strong signals through the walls, and the old indoor antennas couldn’t handle fast 5G speeds.
What is the new solution?
Huawei created a small device called LampSite. Instead of installing five different boxes for different network speeds, they put everything into one single box.
Here is what this new system does:
- Super Fast Speeds: It combines different network bands (including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G) to give users download speeds up to 1 Gbps. This means videos and live streams won’t freeze or lag anymore.
- Easier and Cheaper to Set Up: Because it is a “5-in-1” box, the phone company needs half as many devices to cover the same area. This saves money and takes less time to install.
- Saves Energy: The device is smart. When nobody is using it, it goes to sleep to save power, making it eco-friendly.
Ready for the Future: It is built to handle even newer technologies coming down the road, like virtual reality (VR) and 3D glasses.
What the bosses are saying
Thomas Ngoma from MTN Zambia explained that this upgrade will give people the same fast internet inside the building as they get outside. It will make online video calls and apps run smoothly.
Dr. Philip Song from Huawei said they are proud of this new energy-saving system. They plan to install it in more crowded places like airports and business districts to help grow Zambia’s digital economy.
Imagine a future where a national power grid acts more like an organic, self-healing computer network than a chaotic mess of aging copper and transformers. If you think that sounds like science fiction, think again. On May 29, 2026, during the prestigious 2nd International Conference on Energy and Water in Luanda, Huawei teamed up with Angola’s Ministry of Energy and Water (MINEA) to release a historic white paper that promises to reshape the region’s entire power architecture.
The publication, aptly titled White Paper on Digitalization and Green Energy Transition of Angola’s Electric Power Industry, sets down an aggressive roadmap. It is a bold statement that digital modernization and structural economic survival are now inextricably linked.
A Visionary Leap for Angola’s Energy Grid
Angola is blessed with a staggering abundance of clean energy resources, positioning it beautifully to spearhead regional green integration across Southern Africa. But having raw potential means very little if your infrastructure is leaking energy like a sieve.
Dropping Watts, Adding Bits: The New Philosophy
To bridge this gap, the white paper relies heavily on a brilliant guiding principle: “more bits, less watts”. The idea is wonderfully simple yet revolutionary—by injecting massive digital intelligence (“bits”) into the grid, you can systematically optimize distribution and minimize pure power waste (“watts”). It’s about working smarter, not just pumping out more raw currents.
Resolving the Pains of Traditional Operational Models
Let’s be honest: traditional utility operations are feeling the strain. Arlindo Carlos, Angola’s Secretary of State for Energy and Water, frankly addressed the audience at the launch, pointing out the major bottlenecks plaguing legacy systems: heavy line losses, fragmented network management, and an expensive reliance on imported fuel. The status quo is no longer sustainable. By turning toward deep digital transformation, Angola intends to build a future power grid that is profoundly greener, smarter, and incredibly reliable.
Inside the Transformation: Merging Tech and Currents
So, how exactly does a world leader in telecommunications help stabilize a country’s power network? It happens by fundamentally shifting from hard iron to intelligent software.
The Power of Four Core Technology Clusters
The backbone of this collaboration involves fusing four vital technology domains into a unified ecosystem:
- Digital Technologies (Bits): Cloud analytics, automated software controls, and IoT tracking.
- Power Electronics (Watts): Next-gen converters and optimized hardware pathways.
- Thermal Management (Heat): Advanced cooling methodologies to minimize energy bleed.
- Energy Storage Management (Battery): Sophisticated, smart storage solutions to save power for when it’s needed most.
Evolving the Power Matrix: What Lies Ahead?
This initiative is not just a collection of theoretical ideas printed on glossy paper; it provides an explicit operational template for the upcoming years.
Intelligent Distribution and Advanced All-Optical Networks
Moving forward, the extensive, old-school infrastructure of the past will make way for automated, grid-forming energy storage systems and intelligent distribution grids. Backed by robust, high-speed all-optical communication networks, the grid can seamlessly detect faults, dynamically adjust power routing, and absorb fluctuating renewable energies from solar and hydro plants without breaking a sweat.
Conclusion: Lighting a Greener Path for Southern Africa
Ultimately, the joint white paper proves that the future of power isn’t merely about burning cleaner fuels—it is about managing existing resources with hyper-intelligence. Through the “more bits, less watts” doctrine, Huawei and MINEA are providing a shining template for the entire African continent. The digital power revolution has officially arrived, and it’s starting from the ground up!
