    Too late as the market is occupied. From past experiences, power of OS has nothing to do with popularity. Web OS, Windows Mobile or BB, they are not that bad just that there are no takers as users can opt for only 1 mobile OS.The choice was given to iOS and Android. Full stop. Even Kai OS is giving way to Android in India now.

      For those who've trusted that it's very promising,

        Someone in here fears or hates those big guys from the West than a big guy from the East.

          I doesn't matter. Why is Huawei banned in several markets?
          So, the same reason that is affecting the hardware will choke the software, even more quickly.
          It can be a hell of OS, but in terms of traction outside China...

          But, we should wait and see.

              We (the world) needs alternatives to Android OS and iOs (anything Apple). This is a beginning. I'd be more inclined to go with something Linux but beggars... Since Google went to the 'dark side' and Apple has always been evil. Alternatives are NEEDED. (don't even think of it... Amazon!).

It doesn't have to be an old Os to look like EMUI. EMUI was designed by huawei and so is HarmonyOS. HarmonyOS is supposed to make the life of an average consumer's life easier. Things tend to look the same when they fork the UI that was created by the same company.

                                      Apple does tracks your data.

                                      One of the reason why Facebook is pointing out Apple is hypocritical, why does apple get to keep user data and not facebook.

                                        Not a fan of Huawei but as long the most popular apps are available in their OS, not much of a difference.
