Huawei’s previous generation foldable smartphone – Huawei Mate Xs has begun collecting the February 2022 security improvements through OTA update. This latest software update enhances the device’s security and stability for better performance.

According to the information, February 2022 update is reaching Huawei Mate Xs with upgraded HarmonyOS 2.0 version 2.0.0.223. Meanwhile, the required base HarmonyOS build number is 2.0.0.222.

One thing you should know is that this update’s changelog only includes security improvements. Also, there could also be some minor optimization or fixes, which was not mentioned by the company but can be experienced.

A couple of weeks ago, the global model of Huawei Mate Xs has been upgraded to EMUI 12 software system even without beta testing. Further, it has also grabbed the February 2022 EMUI security patch for improved system security.

Now, Huawei is shifting its focus to HarmonyOS 3.0 from EMUI 12 rollout. As per the reported timeline, the HarmonyOS 3.o internal beta testing will start this month. Also, we can hope to get the hands on stable HM OS 3.0 in July 2022 on flagships.
