Hello friends, today we are going to discuss Huawei’s new operating system.

Huawei’s developer conference was held in China from August 8 to August 11. On the first day, Huawei announced its operating system. This operating system of Huawei is named Harmony OS. In China, it will be known as Hongmeng OS.

This Harmony OS will run on every device. Harmony OS is built to create Huawei’s ecosystem. This OS will run on any laptop, smartphone, TV, IoT devices, and many more other devices. Huawei CEO said that this OS will not come in the smartphone yet. Right now, Huawei’s phones will run on Android only.

If Huawei had a problem with Android in the future, in just 2 days, Huawei can update Harmony OS on all its smartphones.

Top Things You Should Know About Harmony OS

  • According to some reports, Huawei was working on Harmony OS since 2012. It was being made for cars, smart TVs, smartwatches, IoT devices, and other such smart devices. Due to Huawei US ban problem, Huawei started developing it for smartphones too. Because of this problem, Huawei started development faster.

  • Huawei has confirmed that you cannot access Root in Harmony OS, which you can do in Android. Because of this, chances of security problems in the future are very low.

  • Harmony OS is a microkernel-based system, so there is no need to code much like Linux. It only requires a little code. And it can easily work on multiple devices as well.

  • Huawei will first try to spread its Harmony OS in China only. Later, they will spread Harmony OS to other countries.

  • Harmony OS is not yet compatible with Android Apps. But to support Android apps, a small change will be required in those apps, which they are checking now.

  • Huawei is also building its own app store, known as “Huawei App Gallery”. Huawei has also told many developers to publish their apps on their store.
