Huawei Announces Harmony OS to Compete with Android, Will First Show Up on Honor Smart TV

A few months back, Huawei and the US government were locked in a severe battle about Huawei’s business in the States. This was the first time that a very serious issue about privacy and security of consumers led to the exiting of the brand from the country. The US government barred Huawei from conducting any business with the American companies. This meant that Huawei could not use services from any American companies, including Google, and this meant that the Huawei phones would not be able to depend on the Android OS for powering their phones. Not only this, but the Play Services from Google were also now beyond reach for Huawei. But, overcoming this situation, Huawei has made a new development which might prove to be Achilles’ heel for Google’s Android operating system. Here is what we mean by that.

Huawei Harmony OS Details

Sensing this threat from the US, Huawei instantly started working on its own operating system, which was termed as Hongmeng OS back then. Later on, it was revealed that the US had rolled back the sanctions, but even then the threat had not entirely subsided for Huawei. There were massive security concerns looming in the US about Huawei. On August 9, Huawei finally announced the arrival of its operating system, Harmony OS. It is worth noting that the development of Huawei’s own OS has been going on behind the curtains for quite some time now, but because of its row with the US government, the development of Harmony OS was hastened by the company.
