HarmonyOS, Huawei’s new cross-device operating system, has been announced by its CEO, Richard Yu at HDC 2019, the company's Developer Conference in Dongguan, China.
For the time being though, this is a smart device operating system leading the charge alongside other unified operating systems such as Google's Fuscia.
HarmonyOS is a platform designed for a variety of devices, and is currently aimed at IoT devices such as smart displays or smart home equipment.
The full story of the Huawei ban so far
Given the political situation between the US and China and the impact it’s had on Huawei’s access to Android over the last year, it’s little wonder that Richard Yu presented a defiant, confident stance.
At the same time, Yu refrained from committing to any switches from Android just yet.
