The statement was made at the Huawei Developer Conference 2021 as part of his keynote speech. The conference is being held from October 22 to October 24 and aims to explore what’s new with HarmonyOS, smart homes, smart offices, HMS Core, and more.

HarmonyOS’s 150 million figure is comprised of a variety of devices including mobile phones, tablets, smart TVs, smartwatches, and IoT. The OS has, after all, been designed with interaction and collaboration between devices in mind.

Yu added saying that the OS will soon be reaching 200 million devices by the end of this year itself, further proving phenomenal growth.

Additionally, the global distribution of HarmonyOS software applications reached 5.1 million+ developers, 170+ countries and regions, and the cumulative distribution of applications reached 332.2 billion between January to September 2021. The OS already has 4000+ intelligent ecological products and 1800+ ecological partners.

Huawei has also cooperated with over 17 authorized universities and over 436 university teachers to help grab talent for Hongmeng OS development.

HarmonyOS is known to be based on LiteOS for IoT devices, while it is based on a Linux kernel for smartphones and tablets and has used the open-source Android code to support running Android apps. The OS made its first appearance with Honor Smart TVs in August 2019 and was later adopted by Huawei smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches in June 2021.
