A lot has been said about this OS was through Android formation at first. However, things would changed when development comes properly from developers involvement just like existing OS. You're giving analogy like BMW and M Benz but they are vehicles with same functionalities - mobility

I would say still that windows phones were better then android. Especially cause they got updated and it wasnt behind the phone hardware or cause it was low end phone with low price. they still got updated in software. I had Lumia 520 and 830 and both got a lot of updates

        I mean, every OS has it's own design language
        Symbian, BB, windows, Palm, WebOS

        but this is unmistakably Android (at least on the surface)

                  Almost no OS is a developed from scratch.

                  The first windows was based on MS DOS, yet MS called it a new OS.
                  Android 1.0 was based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open source software; yet Google and most tech website called it a new OS...

                    The issue is that Huawei (in both English and Chinese statements reported by the media) bragged about developing a whole new OS - hence the confusion I guess.

                      It has been profen many many times.
                      And it is not bad thing or copying or imitating if you say honestly Harmony OS is Android based.

                      But, if you say I made a brand new system, nothing to do with Android, no code releation.
                      That this well bad thing because you lying.

                      Android OS is free and opensource, everyone can develop own variation/fork/version.
                      No need GMS neither any other google stuff.

                      just don't try to fool people, because if you've been marked with a "Liar" stamp, it never goes, stays always withyou.

                        Android is open source, and a version of an open source project is called a fork. (Like the OS of amazon)
                        And that is not a copy either, but a further development that is not only completely legal but also welcome.

                        It is logical that Harmony Os is partly based on Android - it's all about compatibility: why should Huawei develop a completely new operating system?

                        So Harmony Os is not a copy, but a further developmentof if open source android, as it is not only legally but also desired by Android.

                              huawei said it's a completely new os.



                              then why is this thing android renamed into harmonyos?

                              seems like they can't make their own os after all.
                              despite being very public about them saying it's a completely new os. liars.

                                HarmonyOS: Fake it till you make it. It's still heavily skinned Android, just like any other Skin from Chinese Company.
