Other OS'es exist, they could have partnered up with Jolla to use Sailfish OS like Russia did.

    Wish Huawei and Xiaomi join forces and make new Android OS or UI. Tired of Apple and Samsung monopoly... You can hit them as much as you want and I will still use them! Love how they accuse them that they are working for Chinese gov but still make their phones and everything else in China... Hmmm

      I think Huawei must collaborate with Xiaomi and adopt MIUI over Harmony OS rather than less appealing EMUI.

        Anonymous, 08 Mar 2021Harmony OS is Android, Huawei is not capable of developing ... moreWell the reality is that they did...they started this since 2013 or 2015..and they requested and assisted Google in the making of Android..huawei along with samsung phones were optimized for androids..samsung attempted to recode android to reproduce tizen..but gave up and released it only on TV's instead..huawei and google worked directly together for software management and development..until orange face happened

Their is a sta... moreNo one said non chinese companies evil..everybody just wanna support the underdog...since they so restricted...we wanna see them live and improve...you probably have no idea how many phone companies come and go without their brand being heard...they just fall off the edge of the earth...poof...now chinese brands are facing a dilemma...will they create their own tech to sell new technology at 5nm...or will they beg..and if they achieve 5nm..would they be able to mass produce it to out produce the topdogs...there are so many possibilities

            XiaomiSamsungHuawei, 08 Mar 2021It looks identical to Android and I thought that they would... moreTrue..they shouldve taken a different approach to the design and interface..like SailfishOS..the unspoken..most unique OS for phones

              Thats great and all..but when are they going to translate the all the text to english..the moment they do that..their sales will go back up..along with translation to hindi for the indian market

                  I asked majority of people I know with iphones about this site. Or people who usually buy only premium Android phones. They never used this site. At least not for opinions or ideas.
                  Sadly, this site is becoming more like facebook, but for smartphones. At least the comments section.

                    Good luck with that, but to get traction as many existing Huawei devices currently using GMS should be offered the switch the HongmengOS.

                            Ok, not a Huawei fan but nice to see a "new" OS in the house. Unfortunately, I see two problems: 1. Good that they have Harmony, bad that they don't have components to build phones;
                            2. If they resolve problem 1, outside China and maybe India how many people will buy Harmony?

                              It looks identical to Android and I thought that they would give it a unique appearance but they didn't so idc

                                More OS the better, so that one country or company does not monopolize or can sanction, bully to the detriment of general world.

                                    will be doa

                                      The real bet is to convince devs to make existing android and ios apps to be compatible with harmonyos.
