HARMONY

Aug. 11, 2019

Chinese telecom giant Huawei unveiled its own operating system named HarmonyOS — HongMeng in Chinese —as it faces the threat of losing access to Google’s Android platform, amid escalating U.S.-China trade tensions.

About: 

  • The highly anticipated operating system is considered crucial for the tech Huawei’s survival as it confronts a looming White House ban on U.S. companies selling technology products to Huawei, which could remove its access to Android. 

  • The first version would launch later this year in its smart screen products, before expanding across a range of smart devices, including wearable technology, over the next three years.
