01 June 2021
This happens through the My Huawei app and at least right now it is limited to users in China only (but that could change after tomorrow's event).

It may work in China, with state control of apps and systems, but not anywhere else. The major app and game producers won't write for a whole new system, why would they?

    SpiritWolf, 01 Jun 2021Sorry, but this article is laughable at best. Yeah, Harmony... moreThe funniest part is that Huawei themselves confirmed long time ago that on mobile phones HarmonyOS will have AOSP layer to keep the compatibility with existing apps (though they didn't specify for how long, because they will eventually have to cut off Android app support some time in future). This "deep dive" report simply doesn't contradict with Huawei's claims.

      klv12gcn, 01 Jun 2021For now, it's just Android rebrand. https://arstech... moreSorry, but this article is laughable at best. Yeah, Harmony uses AOSP as part of OS for Android compatibility. So what? Writer based his conclusions on colours and EMUI references. Heh.

        kek, 01 Jun 2021Ok wumao. Tell me then how do you change an OS base code in... moreYour comment seems to be based on an assumption that the base code of the HarmonyOS is the same as Android, which is your responsibility to prove it before asking such a question. "The UI looks like Android and it runs Android apps" doesn't count since another OS running Android subsystem would be able to do exactly the same.

        Also, in case you missed: GSMArena's posting rule specifically says "Be polite and use common sense" :) Read properly, thank you.

                      I highly doubt that they can complete the entire system in just few months since that aritcle was published.

                      I can't say anything about the future, though.

                          Well...
                          The main issue here is whether USA gonna ban harmony OS too...

                          If they do, how will it affect the market?
                          It will be bad for both consumer and developer.

                            SMIRNAS, 01 Jun 2021soo,, HarmonyOS is entirely new system (??)As much as I understand, it uses AOSP for Android compatibility but has different microkernel (still based on Linux, though).

                              Will be nice to transform my S21 Ultra to Harmony... Hate Sammy OS.

                                Soo, 01 Jun 2021Not really..because of developersYou and I don't know what will happen now, now when they really release Harmony and when other brands will connect to harmony to... Developers will follow for sure.

                                  SMIRNAS, 01 Jun 2021soo,, HarmonyOS is entirely new system (??)Yeah
