We’ve known that Huawei has been working on an Android alternative for a while now, but today it was finally named: HarmonyOS.
The operating system was officially announced by Huawei CEO Richard Yu at the Huawei Developer Conference in Dongguan today.
Huawei is pitching HarmonyOS as a microkernel-based open-source OS that can be used on a variety of different devices, from smartphones and computers to wearables and smart displays.
HarmonyOS has just been announced at HDC2019!
How are we going to build an all-scenario smart ecosystem and experience?
How will we overcome the challenges of future OS for connected things?
Huawei has announced its first HarmonyOS-powered devices: a pair of smart TVs called the Honor Vision and Honor Vision Pro, which will go on sale in China next week, reports Gadgets360.
Announced yesterday, HarmonyOS is Huawei’s big attempt to decrease its reliance on Google’s Android operating system.
Since Google suspended Huawei’s Android license back in May, the company has been open about its plans to develop an alternative operating system, although it says that HarmonyOS has been in development for over two years.
Eventually, HarmonyOS will run on everything from wearables to PCs and tablets, but for now Huawei says its focus is on “smart screens” like this.
Although the company has indicated that the OS is ready to run on phones, it has said that it plans to continue using Android for its own smartphones for the time being.
In terms of hardware, the TVs include Huawei’s Honghu 818 chipset, an octa-core processor which will process the images seen on screen.
Huawei is hosting its annual developer’s conference, HDC 2019, in China from August 9th – August 11 2019.
Harmony OS is Huawei’s self-developed operating system.
At Huawei Developer Conference, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group said Harmony OS is ready to be “deployed on the company’s smartphones any time but Huawei want to use Google’s Android OS due to its partnership and its vast ecosystem.” He also added that Harmony OS is faster than Android but the company still wants to use Android’s ecosystem at the moment.
The power of open source will help to build its ecosystem much faster and more and more people can contribute to its development.
The Harmony OS is built to work across different devices seamlessly in the theory of smart connectivity and support Tablets, Smartphones, PC, TVs, Wearables and more.
Just few days back rumor mill was abuzz with the news that HongMeng OS is Huawei’s answer to Google’s Android operating system.
