(STR/AFP photo)SHENZHEN, China: Huawei Technologies Co Ltd launched its Harmony operating system for smartphones on Wednesday, looking to recover from US sanctions that have hobbled its handset business. Huawei will start rolling out HarmonyOS on selected smartphone models, offering users the chance to switch from the current operating system based on Google's Android platform. Once the world's biggest smartphone maker, Huawei is now ranked sixth, with a 4% market share in the first quarter. Will Wong, an analyst at IDC, said it was not essential for Huawei that other smartphone makers adopt HarmonyOS.
