Huawei has officially opened developer beta recruitment for HarmonyOS 6 (API 23), offering early access to its next major operating system update. The program is capped at 50,000 developers and is now open via Huawei’s official developer website, marking the first hands-on opportunity to explore the company’s latest platform direction.

HarmonyOS 6 focuses on a refreshed user experience, new system-level capabilities, and improved app development efficiency. The update introduces new APIs based on API 23 and features deep integration with DevEco Studio, enabling developers to build and optimize future-ready applications more efficiently. Huawei positions this release as a foundational step toward its next-generation ecosystem across phones, foldables, and tablets.

The developer beta supports a wide range of devices used in mainland China, including the Mate 80 and Mate 70 series, Mate X6 and X7 foldables, Pura 80 lineup, and several tablets. Notably, the MatePad Edge has been officially confirmed to receive HarmonyOS 6, reinforcing its role as a flagship tablet in Huawei’s broader HarmonyOS strategy.

To participate, developers must complete real-name authentication, sign a confidentiality agreement, and pass a registration quiz before submitting their application. Reviews typically take three to seven business days, with approved users receiving the beta via an OTA update.
