06 June 2021
Huawei unveiled what it believes to be the be-all and end-all of operating systems for basically every digital device you can think of.

        sounds like the grape is surely sour, hehehe

          This seems much better than Windows phone. It has an actual ecosystem and if people give Huawei another chance then we got a proper Apple rival right here.

            If harmony os want to be next more popular os for tech world.I though will take no more than five years to realize the os game from others competitors.So,good luck for huawei.

                  Winmo 6.5 is still very good, very easy to live with every day .
                  HARMONY is simply a fork of Android, nothing more, probably beyond their reach to write/push a totaly new OS.
                  So much better in past, Winmo(s), symbians, ios, android, even Ms xp(e) , most open to being played with, hardware wide open, some devices had hundreds, possibly thousands of roms etc to flash, phones could be vastly improved with a simple re-flash

                      Listen Kid, you are not putting the right statements in the poll here. Nobody knows about windows phone because of Microsoft's own arrogance. The poll should be: 1) I will buy Huawei devices with Harmony OS. 2) I will not.

                          People fail to understand that most Chinese people will support Huawei. When Microsoft and others have failed, they failed because they couldn't get a stronghold anywhere, Huawei already has a billion people it can depend on. Even Xiaomi and Oppo will be pressured to use Harmony OS for the local market. Huawei will succeed, the only question is how big will their success be? I predict they will achieve 20% of the total global market share within 4 years if the sanctions continue. I honestly think the existence of Harmony as a non-American entity is good for the global consumer.

                                Wrong Question asked! The Question which should have been aksed.
                                Will you buy Harmony OS Phone?

They depend on user data, the only difference is that it's either encrypted to not show your personal information or it shows everything about you. Google is definitely following the latter, I can talk about a corsair headphone to my colleague and I'll have a recommendation on deals within 10 minutes of not searching.

                                    Mikeromeoz, 06 Jun 2021It's as promising as android because it IS android. Or... moreIt isn't. But it uses AOSP layer for Android compatibility. For time being, anyway. Possible, that Huawei will drop it after migration period.
