      It boggles my mind how a device like this does not have any biometric identification. That was one of the biggest reason why I ditched my Tab S6 Lite. You just can't get used to a device with no easy authentication nowadays, even phones with 100 dollar price ranges has fingerprint readers. I won't ask for an in display one, but a fingerprint reader on the lock button would have made this device so much better.

There are already some apps which will work only on harmonyos and Huawei will publish a list of native harmony apps. These apps are much smaller in size.

              I'm a fan of Huawei but the ongoing lack of google services means I'm moving on sorry.

                    Huawei Microkernels Architecture Distribution is demonstrating its power n versatility, notably demonstrated by their new features.

                    1. Multi Screen Collaboration.
                    2. Super Device.

                    Which at the moment are not present in either IOS or Android.

                    Let's see if IOS or Fushcia are going to copy that....

                        so that settles it then...HarmonyOS 2.0, as it currently stands, is a forked version of Android 10. don't let anyone's mumbo-jumbo description fool you into thinking otherwise...

                              Will not touch Huawei even with a barge pole with thier approach on privacy & data sharing. Hold the same opinion on other Chinese mobile manufacturers, if they go the same way. Thankfully, I am not alone in my opinion on this. Anything Chinese that can impact privacy and data sharing, total distrust.

                                To pay 800 dollars to have full screen size ads but none of all the cool apps you can get even on the much cheaper entry level iPad. And will it get 7 years of OS update as my iPad Air 2 get?

I thought H... moreThey're confusingly calling every operating system in their ecosystem HarmonyOS. The only proper HarmonyOS that is based on a microkernel are the ones on their new smartwatches. The HarmonyOS on their phones is EMUI with additional features under a different name which is a fork off Android. Not sure if it will ever be microkernel based or a new operating system like fuchsia.

                                    I see double standard bigotry here and I'm not going to accept it.

                                    Reports say Google Fuchsia can run Android apps natively. Yet everyone is saying it is a new OS.

                                    But people refuse to regard HarmonyOS as an OS and downplay it as if it was just an Android fork just because HarmonyOS can run Android apps.

                                        satyajeet, 10 Jun 2021so, all android has an good file management thats all. kine... moretab s7 did come with clip art studio exclusive for them then it will come to other android tablets later, you can see youtube for reviews against ipads, it highly regarded software, there are kirita, illustrator, adobe photoshop touch (though they discontinue it but its very powerfull like pc version if you can sideload it), adobe rush, sketchbook, autocad etc.

                                        as someone below said, ipad and iphones are paper champions great in benchmarks but lost in real world perfomance.
