Huawei is reportedly planning on launching HarmonyOS 2.0 (also known as HongMengOS in China) later this year. The second iteration of the company’s proprietary operating system is said to arrive for the Chinese tech giant’s smartwatch, PCs, and even tablet offerings soon.
The news arrives from a blogger @勇气数码君 on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website. According to the social media post, HarmonyOS is arriving soon, but might not be available for smartphones this year. Furthermore, the launch arrives with HMS Core 5.0 (Huawei Mobile Services), which has been in development for more than a year and has exceeded 700 million monthly active users from across the globe, with over 80,000 applications and 1.6 million registered developers.

The new HarmonyOS iteration is said to arrive for PC’s this year, in other words, Huawei notebooks, like the Matebook X, which would mark a departure from Windows. Notably, the company’s CEO, Yu Chengdong, had previously revealed that smartwatches and other IoT products will be equipped with HarmonyOS in the future. Unfortunately, this report is still unconfirmed and we will have to wait for an official announcement, so take it with a pinch of salt for now.
