            The salt in the comments is real.
            What are you all so upset about? Not like it’s gonna make any impact since it’s made very clear that you’re not the intended target audience for this business move.

                  I'm intrigued to see this new OS in action. Probably won't because my phone is stuck on EMUI 12 :-:

                        Anonymous, 13 Nov 2023i fully support more competition with different os's, ... moreBlackberry & Huawei is in VERY different situation.
                        Blackberry was a feature phone, and the new BB OS didn't do well in the developer support.

                        Huawei HarmonyOS is a different beast.
                        Huawei have gather lots of developer support, and many first class game developer is from China. Dropping the APK support won't hurt Huawei. But in the long run will hurt Apple & Android.

                          Huawei is making its own suicide !

                            i fully support more competition with different os's, but for both huawei and users' sake, they should really have apk support. Just enough to help users switch over. heck, blackberry os 10 had apk support

                              I've had an honor phone and a huawei phone, I had a huawei phome when the USA banned huawei, I got rid of my huawei phome that day, now I have a samsung galaxy s23, and by the way its spelt honour not honor.

                                IpsDisplay, 13 Nov 2023Your prediction is off Harmony has a literal Chinese eco... morethey are so out of touch with reality they think the world revolves around them and whatever they go with, everyone does as well

                                  Huawei can sustain without Google services but without Android Huawei will die just like Nokia. Huawei survived till date only because of apk app support nothing esle. simple plain facts

                                    USA os, Chinese os or create your own. Since they need to do this, they don't have to wonder if they are able, they must do it.
