Huawei has just rolled out a new HarmonyOS public beta update for the Huawei Nova 8 SE Vitality Edition smartphone users. The update consists of two packages that can be downloaded by the Nova 8 SE VE HarmonyOS public beta tester as well as EMUI 10.1 users.
To be mentioned, this update brought the October 2021 security patch for the HM OS users and added the capabilities of HarmonyOS for the EMUI devices. Besides, both software packages install system improvements to keep the device steady and seamless in terms of performance.
Furthermore, the Huawei Nova 8 SE Vitality Edition HarmonyOS beta update can be matched with the 2.0.0.208 version for both system OS. Unfortunately, we don’t have any info about the download size, but using a strong WiFi network would be safer while installing this update.
No doubt, the new update has blessed the Nova 8 SE Vitality Edition smartphones that are still working on EMUI software. So far we have known, this rollout is invoked in China at present. On the other hand, we are waiting for the official words for the overseas markets.
