Huawei is fixing Android with HarmonyOS

Huawei just announced a lot of tech: wireless earbuds; monitors; smartwatches; tablets. Everything else might sound like Huawei admitting defeat on the phone front, but in this case, everything else seems more like Huawei fighting battles it can actually win outside China, and with its answer to Android no less – meet HarmonyOS 2.0. Originally named Hongmeng, HarmonyOS version zero was announced in August 2019 by a defiant Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's consumer business group. While HarmonyOS was launched on the Huawei Vision smart TV at the same event, the reality back in 2019 was that a consumer-ready phone version of the operating system was nowhere near ready. Even good Android tablets like the Galaxy Tab S7 feel like blown-up smartphones with a few welcome enhancements like pen support.
