Huawei Launches HarmonyOS NEXT, Breaking Free from Android

Huawei introduces HarmonyOS NEXT, its independently developed operating system, marking a significant step away from Android reliance.

HarmonyOS NEXT is the latest version of Huawei's operating system, built independently without using Android's open-source code.
The OS is currently in public beta in China and available on select Huawei devices, including the Mate 60 series and MatePad Pro tablets.
HarmonyOS NEXT features a new AI framework, enhanced security with the 'Star Shield' system, and improved performance with faster animations and app launches.
Huawei has collaborated with over 10,000 partners to develop apps for HarmonyOS NEXT, boasting over 15,000 native applications.
Despite its advancements, the OS is not yet planned for release outside China, reflecting Huawei's focus on strengthening its domestic market presence.
