HUAWEI Developer Conference 2025 (HDC 2025) starts June 20 - June 22 in Songshan Lake, China. Early bird tickets available from 10:08.

Likely, at the HUAWEI Analyst Summit 2024, “In markets outside China, we will use a country-by-country approach expanding to one country after another". If your in a HUAWEI favored region, your more likely to be in the front of the line when the time comes.

I noticed in HUAWEI Music (HarmonyOS NEXT), if you have downloaded tracks (such as flac, mp3, etc.) from within the container apps, those tracks do not need to be manually sent over to your main system. All you need to do is go to HUAWEI Music and just scan for the songs for it to be added.

HarmonyOS NEXT has massively improved air gesture output on the MatePad Pro 12.2, it works very well now compared to HarmonyOS 4.2 which struggled to work alot. A great job with the improvement!

Sony Selected Hi-Res Music app is on HUAWEI AppGallery for HarmonyOS NEXT. It is currently made for the smartphone side of HarmonyOS NEXT, it is not optimised for tablets as indicated and self-tested.

With Sony adopting .HAP, perhaps well see their Sony Headphones and Music Player also soon.
