Harmony is ... moreYes, it could be true, but it interests me little if it is based on Windows, Ubuntu, Android, or Linux and Unix, it works very well in multiplatform, if it is as presented, a shattered Android, and a great advance to iOS

fyi the harmonyOS is still an android platform. Harmony is using the open source android OS and re-design it. In the open source android OS it is fully customizable that is the one harmonyOS using.

Before you know it, something that you think is perfectly acceptable today will be considered a crime tomorrow and you yourself will be considered a criminal.
They'll use those same privacy invasive methods that you think only serve to look in on criminal activities to keep cutting away at your freedom. You'll be forced to act and think how you are told to act and think and they will keep moving the goalposts until you are completely compliant with one person's ultimate view of what society needs to look like.
Just look at China today and you can see what I'm saying is true. I don't want to reinforce that world view by buying a phone that will allow more and more of this.
Btw, if you're totally not worried about people looking in on your phone because you're not a criminal, I bet you also don't mind taking a dump in the toilet in public spaces with the door open?? It's not like it's criminal right?
What I'm trying to say is that this tired old mantra of "you should be ok with people looking in if you've got nothing to hide" is nothing but a gateway to the further erosion of legitimate privacy issues!

HarmonyOS 2.0 is an incredibly promising and versatile mobile operating system platform. I've dug into the HarnonyOS 2.0 code and have found source from seven different open source platforms. Despite what outlets like Android Authority are claiming, Huawei,'s new OS is not a mere Android fork. In fact, in order for most standard Android apps to run, the code first needs to be modified with the Ark Compiler -- a relatively straightforward process. Although just released to the public, the kernel source is already unofficially available for two models of the Huawei MatePad Pro 5G and will be released from Huawei officially in the coming weeks. This is promising news for the development community. The HarnonyOS 2.0 microkernel protocol is actually superior to AOSP Android in terms of security and application sandboxing. Huawei has compiled it using upstream Linux and additional modules from LiteOS. The OS has many AOSP Android characteristics, but with a feel of something fresh, new and unexplored. The interface itself uses some of the most popular EMUI cherry picks. In a nutshell, Huawei's new OS platform looks and feels incredible to be in its infancy. A great deal of development and beta testing preceded the public release and it certainly shows. If I had to rate HarmonyOS 2.0, it would get a 10 out of 10 from me for sure.

Funny thing I noticed here. If Huawei is accused of spying, instead of clearing up their name from spying, they will point on Google of doing the same thing. Lol. No one likes what Google is doing, it's just that there is not much choice. But if they are going to create a new OS (they say) with much worse spying than Google, is that a selling point?

Windows major problem in their business is they're so bad in marketing. That's the major reason why Windows phones flopped. No one trust Windows OS on a phone, no users, no developers to make any apps for it.
Huawei in the other hand seems promising, they have their own user base, their own ecosystem and they're used to mobile industry so they knew more about what users actually want in mobile industry.

"This allows one device to control others and data can be shared freely between all of them." I'm guessing between devices isn't the only place your data will be shared if Huawei have full control over all data due to a self-developed OS :D
You wouldn't even be able to give me a phone with all the latest spec for free if it runs this OS!

From my own experience, I just have to say that owning a Huawei smartphone makes me feel the creeps of good feelings.
