Huawei reshaping mobile OS landscape

China Daily  

Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, at the launch of the company's new mobile operating system on Tuesday in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. BAI YU/XINHUA China's first homegrown and fully autonomous mobile operating system was launched by tech firm Huawei Technologies Co on Tuesday night, breaking the global OS landscape dominated by Google's Android and Apple's iOS systems. Huawei's latest mobile operating system, HarmonyOS Next, is also dubbed a "pure-blood" version of Harmony, as it does away with roots to the Android system and will no longer support Android-based applications. Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, said that all of China's top 5,000 apps have developed native applications for the new system, and to date, more than 15,000 native applications have been launched. However, industry experts also pointed out that Huawei's latest operating system still faces several challenges including with ecosystem partners on issues such as commission fees.
