Huawei expands hardware lineup and HarmonyOS ecosystem
Overview
Huawei is expanding its ecosystem through HarmonyOS 7 and new hardware. The OS features a “Liquid Glass” spatial UI and an agent-based AI architecture, transitioning in China to exclusively support native HAP apps. To support this, Huawei is launching HarmonyOS desktop PCs and expanding developer tools.
In the mobile sector, the Pura 90s Series has seen significant traction, reaching approximately 1.28 million shipments by the 34th week of 2026. The series, running HarmonyOS 6.1, emphasizes advanced imaging via the XMAGE system. The Pura 90s Pro Max features a 200MP telephoto sensor and 50MP Ultra Lighting HDR main camera with LOFIC technology. The Pura 90s Pro includes a 6,000 mAh battery and Kunlun Glass 2nd generation protection.
Huawei is also advancing foldable technology with the Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design, a tri-fold smartphone scheduled for launch on September 7. This model shifts to a U-shaped inward folding pattern to protect the display and utilizes the Kirin 9050 processor. This follows the successful Mate 90 series, which saw strong initial sales in October 2025.
To capture broader segments, Huawei is developing a mid-to-low-end sub-brand named “Starry Sky” (Xingmang) in China, potentially known as “Starlight” internationally. Targeting the 1,500 to 4,000 yuan range, the brand aims to compete with Redmi and Realme through online channels. The lineup may utilize Kirin 9-series chips and native HarmonyOS, prioritizing cost-effectiveness by omitting features like satellite communication. One rumored model may include an active cooling fan.
