Huawei’s HarmonyOS NEXT to skip out on Android apps: Report

The Hindu  

Chinese smartphone maker Huawei announced it is going all-in with its HarmonyOS NEXT platform that will remove support for Android apps entirely, a report from 9to5google said. The company is apparently claiming that the new platform entirely ditches the Android code base in favour of a fully independent architecture. The new platform reportedly also includes “Harmony Intelligence”, Huawei’s take on AI features which includes image generation, sound repair, image-to-audio descriptions for visually impaired users and the ability for third-party apps to leverage AI for some tasks, such as translations, the report said. A key focus for Huawei is apparently the ability for apps on NEXT to span multiple screen sizes.
