Huawei is developing HarmonyOS NEXT, a new operating system free from U.S.-based components and Android, to challenge foreign operating systems in the local market. The company has eliminated all source code related to Android or Linux and integrated self-developed components into the new OS. HarmonyOS NEXT will not support Google or Android-compatible apps but will enhance the performance of Huawei devices. Huawei is also working on HarmonyOS PC, a computer-specific software that could potentially launch in 2024, with leaked information suggesting an earlier release. The Chinese government is supporting Huawei in building the HarmonyOS ecosystem, with the stable version of HarmonyOS NEXT expected to be released in the fourth quarter of this year.
