This morning, Huawei made a major adjustment. The company announced on its EMUI Weibo account that the Huawei EMUI Weibo account will be officially renamed ‘HarmonyOS’ starting from today.
The company has released a teaser video and mentioned that the HarmonyOS for mobile phones and Huawei’s new product launch event will be held on June 2.
Huawei released the HarmonyOS 2.0 Beta for mobile phones on December 18, 2020, and then successively released multiple versions. The latest version is Beta3 2.0.0.110.
It was previously reported that Huawei has registered an official Weibo account named ‘Huawei HarmonyOS,’ but has not yet posted any content. The launch of the HarmonyOS also means that Huawei’s EMUI system, which took many years to develop, will come to an end (after nearly eight years).
Yang Haisong, Vice President of Huawei Consumer Business AI Department, stated in an interview that HarmonyOS is completely open source. According to the plan, this year it will be open-sourced for devices with 128MB to 4 GB of memory.
It is worth mentioning that Huawei introduced its EMUI on December 30, 2012. The first version of EMUI 1.0 was based on Android 4.0.
At the official press conference, Huawei stated that from the user’s perspective, this user interface is the most powerful and user-friendly in the world.
