This is a major development for the Huawei Nova 6 and Nova 7 devices. Ultimately, the latest closed beta offers advanced interactive functions, smart widgets, and folders, a Super Device function, Super Frame Game Engine, revamped privacy and security center, and barrier-free experience tools.

On the flip side, the update also brings the latest addition – SuperHub File transfer to the device surface. As the name suggests, the feature helps in sharing files and data from one app to another in no time.

After long-pressing and dragging text, pictures, files, and other content into the super transfer station, you can drag out multiple contents at one time across applications and devices.
