Huawei says this operating system will be used primarily on smart displays such as Honor and Huawei Smart Screen.
The microkernel, which is a highly open kernel architecture, allows HarmonyOS to be used on different types of devices in the same version. With the small number of code in sharing, communication between the components of the microchips is also extremely fast.
In a statement, Huawei confirms that users will not have access to root. In this way, the Chinese company is blocked many security-related problems in the future.
The internet of things that surround our lives will be taken to another dimension with the spread of the 5G network. Huawei is targeting smart products such as smart speakers, smart displays, in-car entertainment systems, wearable technology. Huawei says that the operating system is not produced by giving priority to smartphones and emphasizes that HarmonyOS can replace the Android operating system already in smartphones.
In the event of an emergency, the Chinese smartphone industry giant Huawei says he can switch all his smartphones to HarmonyOS in just 1-2 days.
Apps in the Android operating system will not work on HarmonyOS as they are now, Huawei said, adding that a few changes can be overcome by developers or by porting apps, he underlines. Not only Android but also HTML5 and Linux applications can be ported (transferred) to HarmonyOS thanks to Huawei's open-source ARK compiler.
