Huawei has launched its own HarmonyOS mobile operating system on its handsets as it adapts to having lost access to Google mobile services two years ago after the US put the Chinese telecommunications company on a trade blacklist. The Shenzhen-based company announced that about 100 Huawei smartphone models will use its proprietary HarmonyOS system, and that the operating system will also be available on certain tablets and smart screens in the fourth quarter of the year. “Our HarmonyOS has stronger functionality and endurance, and it will be the greatest operating system in this internet of things era,” he said. Huawei’s HarmonyOS smartphone rollout is a workaround for its lack of access to Google services, especially for smartphones that it sells abroad. To solve this problem, Huawei launched its own Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) platform that lets developers launch apps for Huawei devices.
