Huawei is rolling out a software update for the Mate 60 series, bringing HarmonyOS 4.2.0.130 to these smartphones. The focus of this update is threefold: enhancing the camera experience, introducing a new accessibility feature, and implementing general system optimizations.
Telephoto images will look much better and clearer with the new update
The update promises an overall improvement in the photo-taking capabilities of the Mate 60 series. Users can expect better image quality across various shooting scenarios. Specifically, telephoto photos should benefit from increased clarity, allowing for sharper details when zooming in. Portrait mode also sees an upgrade, with enhanced clarity and a more natural look for portrait shots.
The Mate 60 Pro+ and Mate 60 RS Master specifically gain a new accessibility feature called Smart Scanning. This function allows users to leverage the phone’s rear camera for quick QR code scanning and initiating payments while the phone is in desktop mode. The process is straightforward:
- A QR code prompt appears on the screen.
- Double-click the back of the phone or tap the QR code prompt at the bottom of the desktop.
- Upon successful recognition (accompanied by a beep), you’ll be redirected to the corresponding service page.
- Follow on-screen prompts to complete the desired action, such as launching an app or visiting a website.
- For unified payment codes or situations with multiple codes, the default payment method will be automatically used.
It’s important to note that Smart Scanning is currently available on select Huawei models, including the Mate 50 series, Mate X3 series, Mate 60 series, and P70 series. The HarmonyOS update goes beyond camera improvements. The update also addresses other areas of the phone, including the overall user experience of the system. It also integrates the latest June security patches to enhance system security.
