Our Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ has just received yet another large update, which includes multiple improvements, changes and new features. The most interesting new feature is the multi-cam mode, which allows users to control the camera of compatible devices from their own device, switching between each other and thus being able to capture different angles and actions in all simplicity. However, this feature requires compatible devices running HarmonyOS2 and having received this mode too, greatly restricting its utility. We’ll test this feature if our Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6” also receives it.

This update also includes improvements to the Control Panel and Notification Center, as well as integrating security patches, improving the overall system security, leaving it at July 1, 2021.

This update changes the version from NOP-AN00 2.0.0.138(C00E135R6P2patch01) to NOP-AN00 2.0.0.165(C00E160R6P2), with the update being 0.95 GB in total.
