Huawei has started expanding HarmonyOS 6.0 globally and the latest upgrade is now coming to two flagship devices: Watch GT 5 Pro and FreeBuds Pro 4. Both wearables are receiving the major software version with useful additions and improvements.
The company has recently upgraded the Watch FIT 4 Pro with the iconic upgrade, bringing various new features. Now it is extending the build to more devices.
Global Watch GT 5 Pro is receiving the Huawei HarmonyOS 6.0 update with the 6.0.0.23 version. The package size is uncertain at present. But we suggest keeping at least 3-4GB of free space in your wearable to install the new software version.
On the other hand, the FreeBuds Pro 4 users can identify the new update with the HarmonyOS 6.0.0.272 version. It has improved the stability of the Bluetooth connection and the overall functionality of the wearable.
Unlike the FreeBuds Pro 4, the Watch GT 5 Pro is gaining more features and optimizations. It introduces new UI changes like gradient themes, fluid animations, the Modules 2025 Clock Face, new controls for volume, sharing files, and more.
It further enhances the existing system apps, such as clock, calendar, app icons for the notification panel, custom vibration settings, and more. You can check all these details below.
