Harmony OS

Huawei’s mobile business has been cut off from most of the world’s software and hardware manufacturers due to US sanctions. Therefore, the Chinese company is trying to develop its own alternatives, one of which is the Harmony OS operating system. Yesterday, Xu Zhijun, deputy chief executive of Huawei, announced that Harmony OS will be installed on 100 million devices this year.

This forecast is based on previous data, according to which the Chinese company has attracted more than 20 hardware vendors and 280 software developers to participate in the development of Huawei’s ecosystem of products. Wang Chenglu, president of the Chinese tech giant’s consumer software division, says Harmony OS is the next generation of smart device operating systems that can offer a unified way to interact with a range of different gadgets. Chenglu said the company’s goal is to achieve 300 million active Harmony OS devices by the end of 2021.

Some reports point that small Chinese home appliance companies have already launched their first Harmony OS devices. As for mobile devices, during the announcement of the foldable smartphone Huawei Mate X2, there were talks that a number of other flagship models of the company could receive Harmony OS in April. However, according to the latest news, the first smartphones will receive the new OS only in June.
