Huawei Rolls Out HarmonyOS Update with Enhanced AI Photo Editing and Theme Upgrades
Huawei has released the HarmonyOS 6.1.0.135 SP8 update for the Mate 60, Mate XT, and Pura 70 series, introducing new AI photo editing features and theme upgrades. The update enhances the "AI Colorization" and "Magic Image Shift" tools in the gallery and updates the interactive "Wulin Mengzhu" theme. This update demonstrates Huawei's focus on integrating AI-driven creative tools directly into its native gallery app to improve user experience. It also leverages device-to-device interaction features like AI Air Transfer to drive ecosystem engagement among Huawei users. The "Magic Image Shift" now supports 3D spatial displacement for stickers and smart placement recommendations, while "AI Colorization" can generate silhouette effects for backlit subjects. Additionally, the update integrates the July 2026 security patch and optimizes system stability.
## BACKGROUND
"Magic Image Shift" is an AI-powered feature on Huawei devices that allows users to easily recompose photos by dragging, scaling, or rotating subjects. "AI Air Transfer" is a gesture-based file sharing technology that uses UWB and sensors, enabling users to transfer files between devices with a simple hand-grabbing motion in the air.
