Earlier this week, the Midea Group announced that it is closely working together with Huawei, to integrate the latter’s HarmonyOS in its products. The group also stated that it has already launched 12 products that are equipped with HarmonyOS across 7 different categories.
Notably, the news arrives just days after an executive of the Chinese home appliance maker announced that most of its smart products will feature the smartphone brand’s proprietary operating system. The former had even announced that it would be cooperating with Huawei for its HarmonyOS (also known as HongMengOS in China) back in 2020.
Just recently, Midea had even launched the world’s first smart refrigerator that supports the HarmonyOS. The company added that its products launching with the new OS will also enable it to offer its customers more value and better services as well. Furthermore, the HarmonyOS platform was built with multi device support and cross platform integration as well.
This means that its ecosystem is designed to work in a smart home, where multiple IoT (internet of things) products are connected to one another and can be controlled by the user remotely through a smartphone or a smart hub. The company has already launched various products with HarmonyOS, with new releases including the likes of dehumidifiers, refrigerators, and more. This number is likely to rise further with new launches in the near future.
