Earlier, we reported that a Chinese developer had successfully installed Huawei’s open-source HarmonyOS operating system onto a PC platform. This HarmonyOS 3.2 Beta 3 version was tested on the HP notebook, which responded accurately to all the mouse inputs.
According to recent reports, Wang Chenglu (CEO of Shenzhen Kaihong Digital Industry Development) has hinted at the possibility of an official HarmonyOS release for PCs next year.
For those who may not be familiar, Wang Chenglu became a part of Huawei back in 1998 and held the position of President in the Consumer BG Software Department. But what has really caught our interest is that Wang Chenglu recently confirmed the company will be introducing HarmonyOS to PCs through a reply on a Weibo post. A fellow user posted a question on Weibo, “Will there be a HarmonyOS PC next year?” Wang Chenglu replied with a simple “Yes.” However, it still needs to be confirmed exactly when this OS will be launched next year.
Recent rumors suggest that Microsoft might be getting ready to launch a new operating system called Windows 12. If Huawei does launch HarmonyOS, we’ll be able to see how it performs compared to Windows 12. Previously, it was reported that the HarmonyOS on an HP notebook performed smoothly. The developer also adapted the drivers for the USB, network port, SATA port, PCIe, and other hardware of the HP notebook.
In related news, Huawei is preparing to launch its latest iteration, HarmonyOS 4.0, in August. This new software is expected to bring major design changes and new features. Those who wish to know about this can check out our HarmonyOS 4.0 coming in August story here.
