Huawei Pura X flip phone launched; sideways form factor, no Android apps

Huawei has launched the Huawei Pura X smartphone in China, which is the first Huawei device to operate without Android, using HarmonyOS Next instead.

Huawei will replace Windows with homegrown HarmonyOS in upcoming PCs

Huawei plans to transition from Windows to HarmonyOS as its primary operating system for PCs, with the next generation of computers set to feature HarmonyOS Next by the end of 2024. The current lineup of PCs will be the last to use Microsoft's operating system. HarmonyOS Next will be a microkernel-based system, no longer incorporating AOSP code or Android compatibility, and will support its own native applications. Huawei accounts for approximately 10 percent of the 40 million PCs sold annually in China, competing primarily with Lenovo and HP. Despite significant investment, HarmonyOS Next faces challenges in user adoption and app availability, with limited gaming applications and developer support. Chinese state media claims over 10,000 apps and services are available on HarmonyOS, with clients like the Shanghai municipal government developing native applications.

If you’re still using the app list on the Pixel Watch 3, you’re doing it wrong

User experience in smartwatches is crucial for navigating app interfaces. The author compared the Apple Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 4, noting that Samsung's app drawer offers an organized and customizable grid, allowing users to sort apps alphabetically or manually. In contrast, Apple's method lacked consistency, causing confusion for the author. The introduction of the Pixel Watch initially presented an app drawer in a list format, which was inefficient and frustrating. However, the Pixel Watch 3 introduced a grid view option, allowing users to see nine app icons simultaneously, enhancing usability and making app access easier. The author prefers the grid view for its intuitive design and efficiency.
