Huawei Mate X5 gets major system and camera improvements update

Huawei Mate X5 series is receiving significant system and camera improvements via a new update. This firmware acts as a settler for most of the existing features available in the flagship model. It also enhances the overall device’s system.

The firmware is a bit huge compared to regular security patches and aims to improve the user experience. It contains a lot in the changelog. So let’s get started!

Starting with the software version, the Huawei Mate X5 series (standard and the Collector’s Edition) gets the camera improvements update with the HarmonyOS 4.2.0.130 version. You need the 4.2.0.128 baseline build to jump on the new firmware.

The update comes in two parts. The first one consists of optimizations for the system as well as the camera. It enhances optical features for a better photography user experience. Next, the latest software build boosts the usability of some apps.

If you were facing any lags, freezing, or apps crashing in previous builds, it will get fixed with this firmware. Further points count system stability for better performance.

June 2024 security patch falls in the second part. It resolves privacy issues and related bugs in the device system, making it tougher against malware. This new rollout is currently in the early stages and will take time to cover all the Mate X5 units.

By that time, you can have a look at the changelog given below.
