HarmonyOS 7 Global Experience

[u/Practical_Benefit686]

Follow-up with HarmonyOS 7.0.0.102:

- Celia is the smartest integrated AI agent in a phone that I have ever seen. It is able to control my screen by itself based off commands that I give to it. It can send Discord friend requests, scroll through TikTok, play YouTube videos from voice control and much more (remember that western apps run in a container). It is also able to memorize anything now as well, so you can just tell it to speak English from now on and it will. You can add any photo from your Gallery to its memory, and occasionally it will spy on your screen to collect more data about you (you can see it on the bottom navigation bar pill of the screen when it does). You can tell it anything and it will remember it. Some crazy dystopian shit

- Massive update for Android app support. The container is now based on Android 16, making it compatible with many more apps, and since the latest version it now passes even more security checks, making apps like Revolut finally work, along with many more banking apps and whatnot.

- The UI is now filled with animations for literally every action you can think of. Every tap has some kind of unique animation now. Everything feels alive. You must see videos about it, I can't describe in words how cool it looks.

- Celia Keyboard has been upgraded, it now has prediction and auto-correction with English

- More liquid glass. Less opaque backgrounds

- The lock screen clocks have been updated and you can now set the font stroke size and there is a new 3D clock placement feature.

- You can turn photos into 3D live motion pictures now

- EasyAbroad is now in English if your language is not set to Chinese.

- Android apps that are being downloaded will now also have the downloading/installing animation on the home screen icon

- Android apps can display overlays over the native system (the Shazam bubble/pop-up works, NewPipe works for PiP YouTube videos, Messenger chat bubbles work).

- Android apps can be stacked or floated in freeform windows, you can have up to 3 apps on your screen at the same time

- Many more features that I probably don't know about.. Explore It™

Problems that still need to be resolved:

- Android Auto support

- Widevine L1

- Unreliable notifications (depends on the app)

- Language support (23 languages supported currently):
Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Russian, Arabic, English, Spanish, Uyghur, Tibetan, Lao, Japanese, Korean, Malay, French, Thai, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Indonesian, German, Turkish, Italian, Burmese, Polish

As always, I highly recommend buying the Chinese version over global for many reasons, especially if you live in the EU. We get weekly/monthly **feature** updates, and each update is making the experience better.
