Ships with EMUI 9.1.1 (Android 9); updated to EMUI 10 (Android 10), so install that update first, then to HarmonyOS 2 (built on Android 10) and later HarmonyOS 3 and 4. Huawei does not state which Android version HarmonyOS 4 is compatible with, so last_os is left out. No Google Mobile Services (Huawei Mobile Services and AppGallery instead): the Android-based OS may still run our APK, but Google Assistant routines (android-voice) are not available. No built-in gesture or key opens a chosen app: knuckle gestures (where present) only take screenshots or record the screen, and double-pressing Volume down only takes a photo or opens the camera. China-only model.

Gestures are set up in the phone settings as shown, then combined into a trigger recipe in the app, where practice mode shows step by step whether a gesture would trigger.
