And it is that after the blow received by the company regarding the vetoes imposed by the government of Donald Trump, in the United States, the Chinese firm officially advances your new operating system open source for your mobile phones, televisions and the rest of the company's smart devices.
Harmony OS, it is official and therefore an operating system with which the company has been working for a long time and that had the code name Hongmeng is put on the table. Taking advantage of a developer conference that took place in Dongguan, where the firm has a huge and new campus, Huawei officially announced the new operating system.
Thus, in this way, the company becomes stronger if possible thanks to the work of its software engineers since the hardware engineers are all clear to us that they are very strong. It should be borne in mind that even with the news, the veto bomb implanted by the United States, the research firm IHS Markit released a report this week placing Huawei as the second largest phone maker in the world. Any other company would have been "destroyed" with such news ...
After the announcement of companies such as Google among many others due to the Trump administration, the Chinese firm has a courtesy period until August 19, which ends next week. In this way, all Huawei devices will stop receiving updates of any kind and the smartphones before and after will be left out of any service from the big G, so they will be abandoned. It is because of that Huawei with its CEO Richard Yu, CEO announced that its OS will be "completely different from Android and iOS."
We can say that after all the uproar it seemed that the United States would loosen up and allow the Chinese company to continue with its usual business with North American companies, but the Trump administration is still quite reluctant to do so and we have a feeling that the blacklisting is not going to be revoked anyway. In any case, the decision is still possible although Huawei is following in its footsteps to be more autonomous and the proof of this is the presentation of this new Harmony OS early this morning.
Harmony OS will not be released in bulk
This is another news of the official presentation of the new OS. It is expected that this new version of the operating system that will finally end up directly replacing the current operating system on all the devices of the Chinese firm (Android) will be gradually implemented on all computers so do not expect this to be seen and not seen even though it seems to be quite advanced. And it is almost certain that the company had long been preparing for such a situation, so everything has been relatively fast until the launch or official presentation of the company's new operating system. Harmony OS will be the replacement for Android and Huawei will continue to insist that it is not spying on the United States or other countries.
Yu himself warned that his international launch is planned for early 2020 so it is expected that for the MWC of that same year the new equipment will already have this new OS. It is also expected that by the end of this year this version will begin to be seen in China. The CEO himself announced that it was a shame to have suffered these restrictions with the companies since otherwise they would have been placed with 300 million phones worldwide and would have become the world's largest mobile phone distributor this year.
What is clear is that with this maneuver Huawei has a lot of gains and if the move goes well it may be even better for a firm that for years has been doing things well and working hard outside of China to establish itself as a leading brand in Worldwide, today it is undoubtedly one of the strongest and this can be overcome if Harmony OS works as it should and thes applications from Google and other companies adapt quickly to the OS.
