WHAT IS HARMONYOS?

Huawei unveiled its own mobile operating system in August 2019. It is called HarmonyOS and the Chinese company could use to power its smartphones instead of Google's Android. Earlier in the year, Huawei was ostracised by Google and had its access to Android removed following allegations of spying before Donald Trump reinstated the Chinese firm's privileges. At the company's developer conference in southern China, Huawei said HarmonyOS would be first used in a new Honor smartphone. However, he said at the time that the Chinese firm's 'priority' is to still use Android in its devices, though it could easily switch to Harmony at any point if necessary.
