Last year, after a long-standing parent-child subsidiary mechanism, Honor separated from Huawei and established itself as an independent smartphone and smart device maker.

Following the breakup, Honor holds its first launch conference earlier this year and revealed its first smartphone, Honor V40 as a free smartphone maker. However, the journey of this new smartphone has just begun outside of Huawei’s partnership but people are still worried about their older Honor devices.

Since HarmonyOS is a hot topic at the moment, the questions of old Honor smartphone users are also concerning on this matter. They want to know whether they’ll be able to upgrade with HarmonyOS or not or they will be abandoned.

Regarding this matter, a tipster from Weibo has some interesting information and you may want to know it, as it may clear some of your doubts too. According to the information devices that were launched ahead of Honor V40, can upgrade with HarmonyOS AKA Hongmeng OS.

The tipster suggests that these devices include the Honor 30 series and V30 series. On the other hand, the Honor 20 and V20 series are still under evaluation to adopt this Huawei operating system. Furthermore, Honor phones powered by Kirin 810 and 820 chipset are also under testing to receive and run HarmonyOS software update.
