Huawei ditches Android for homegrown HarmonyOS Next and will transition to it this year. A battle for Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.
Huawei‘s response to the U.S. trade ban isn’t just focused on hardware efforts. The company is also making a major leap in software development with HarmonyOS Next, a new operating system that completely ditches from Google’s Android app support.
Now, a fresh report by Nikkei Asia suggests that Huawei will finally depart completely from Google’s Android operating system this year. The new HarmonyOS Next will ship first with Huawei Mate 70 series smartphones.
The new OS reportedly offers improved memory efficiency and on-device AI capabilities.
