Huawei has recently been rolling out the developer public beta version of its HarmonyOS to select smartphone models. Now, the company has announced that it is gearing up for the launch of the its proprietary operating system’s final build that will launch sometime in early June 2021.
According to Wang Chenglu, the President of the Chinese tech giant’s consumer business software department and director of AI and smart business department, the company will be rolling out the HarmonyOS (also known as HongMengOS in China) update from the beginning of June. While the senior executive refrained from announcing the names of the specific models that would receive this upgrade, it is expected that the Mate 40 series, Mate 30 series, the P40 series, and the Mate X2 series will be one of the first to receive the update.
Although, after the initial batch of smartphone models receive this update, Huawei would soon include other devices as well in following batches to receive the new update. It is also expected that a large number of older models from the company, including certain Honor smartphones will be receiving the update as well, later on during summer. This would mark a big move from the company as it shifts away from Android for its 200 million smartphones that are currently in circulation.
The brand is aiming on moving all of these 200 million devices to its own platform by the end of this year. This new OS also supports cross platform, meaning, it was designed to be uniform and work seamlessly with the users’ other smart home products that support HarmonyOS. So stay tuned for more updates.
