HarmonyOS:

HarmonyOS is designed as a cross-device multi-platform operating system from Huawei and started its journey in 2019. From there, the company announced HM OS 1 for smart TVs, followed by HarmonyOS 2 in the subsequent year.

HarmonyOS 2.0 was revolutionary and it opened the gate for smartphone adaptation, a beginning that Huawei smartphone users have been waiting for.

HarmonyOS 3 is the next step and Huawei phones, tablets, smartwatches, and other smart devices already started upgrading to this version.

At today’s event, Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO – Yu Chengdong confirmed over 320 million installations for HarmonyOS operating system, which is a new milestone.

On the other hand, Huawei’s third-party electronic devices’ operating system HarmonyOS Connect has also touched new heights with 250 million installations and a 212% on-year increase in devices that are launching with this OS.

Nonetheless, we now have to wait until Huawei Developer Conference 2023 to get HarmonyOS 4 on board. However, the outcome may meet our expectations and there are some amazing features that Huawei is likely to bring with HarmonyOS 4.

All and all, we are excited about this announcement and will keep you posted with future developments for HarmonyOS 4.
