Huawei wants to present the first devices with HarmonyOS next week
Huawei wants to present the first devices with its own HarmonyOS operating system next week. This is evident from a post on Weibo. The presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, June 2, according to the information.
The announcement of the livestream is in a short video on Weibo. It first shows a Huawei logo at start-up, after which a HarmonyOS logo appears. The video tells nothing about the devices on which the operating system will be installed.
The first product would be a tablet, the MatePad 2. So far no new products or updates have been released with HarmonyOS: the operating system is only in beta. The Chinese manufacturer wants 300 million devices to run the OS by the end of this year, 200 million of which after an update. In interface and operation, the new OS is similar to Emui, Huawei’s Android skin, with a few changes.
In the long run, it should be a distributed operating system: the OS would run on multiple devices at the same time. The intention is that these devices can communicate seamlessly with each other and share many elements in terms of software. That is not yet the case. The livestream will take place on Wednesday evening Chinese time. That is Wednesday afternoon in the Benelux.
