Harmony OS 3.0 Features
With regards to the new features, nothing has been revealed. Yes, the developer preview has been going on for a couple of months. Huawei has always been strict when it comes to developer beta programs and as such, there have been no leaks that have surfaced to the general public. At least what we can expect is that the UI will still incorporate EMUI design stylings without any Google Services. We will update you as to when we get more information about the features and the UI for Harmony OS 3.0 as when it gets released.
HarmonyOS 3.0 Supported Devices
With the initial HarmonyOS release, we got to see Huawei rolling the update out to almost every device released under the Huawei and Honor branded devices released in 2017 and later. So, with HarmonyOS 3.0, we are yet to see if Huawei will be updating its 6-year-old devices, or if it would be limiting the number of devices. So far, we only have a list of devices that we think are expected to get the update to HarmonyOS 3.0. Huawei P Series
