The Chinese company Huawei has officially released its latest operating system HarmonyOS 2 to some productτα. Η εταιρεία δηλώνει πλέον έτοιμη να προωθήσει το νέο λειτουργικό σύστημα HarmonyOS 2 σε smartphone, tablet και πολλές άλλες συσκευές, ξεκινώντας με τις σειρές Huawei Mate 40, Mate 30, P40, Mate X2, Nova 8, MatePad Pro και πολλές άλλες.
HarmonyOS is pre-installed with some applications and offers support for third-party applications.
With the HarmonyOS Zone on the Huawei App Marketplace, it becomes easier for OS users to find and install compatible apps. Users can search for the terms “HarmonyOS” or “HongMeng” in the App Marketplace to find the Zone that only offers compatible apps. Apps built for HarmonyOS are tagged with “HMOS” in the corner of their icon applications.
The Chinese company is preparing to add new features to its internal system to make it easier for third-party developers to develop applications for the platform. When Huawei first unveiled the operating system, it said it planned to update 100 devices and may need the first half of 2022 to complete the process.
Η εταιρεία σκοπεύει να διαθέσει περισσότερες από 300 εκατομμύρια συσκευές που χρησιμοποιούν το HarmonyOS (ή το HongMeng OS όπως λέγεται στην Κίνα) μέχρι το τέλος του τρέχοντος έτους. Θα είναι ενδιαφέρον να δούμε αν η Huawei καταφέρει να επιβάλει το νέο της λογισμικό σαν εναλλακτική λύση για το Android.
Huawei has made all the basic HarmonyOS modules available at the Open Atom Open Source Foundation. This allows interested device manufacturers to have HarmonyOS system codes to develop products according to their requirements. There are currently more than 500.000 developers working with the HarmonyOS team and the company expects many more to join soon.
