Huawei unleashes HarmonyOS in China, eyes multi-device ecosystem
The Chinese hardware manufacturer on Tuesday said HarmonyOS 2 would immediately ship with its Mate 40 series and Mate X2, as well as the newly launched MatePad Pro and Watch 3 series. A second batch of devices will be given the option to upgrade to the mobile OS in the third quarter, including the Nova 6, 7, and 8 series, Mate 20 series, and MatePad 10.
This list will be further expanded in the fourth quarter to include P30 and Nova 5 Pro, and again in the first quarter of 2022 to include the Mate9 and Mate10 series as well as the P10 and P20 series, Huawei said.
It would mean that users with older Huawei smartphone models, such as Mate9 and P20, still running Google's Android OS could choose to switch over to HarmonyOS.
