Huawei launches HarmonyOS, its own operating system

The open-source OS can be used across different devices, from smartphones to smart speakers and even sensors, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer division, said at the tech giant’s developer conference.

HarmonyOS will first be used on smart screen products such as televisions later this year, then in other devices including wearables and car head units over the next three years.

Huawei said it will initially roll out the OS in China, with plans to expand it globally.
