The HARMONYOS smartphone that finally appears will be updated including the old model

　HARMONYOS 2 for Smartphone announced the beta version in December 2020, but the smartphone equipped with it has finally been released.This time, "Huawei Mate40 Pro" and "Huawei Mate40e", the tablet "Huawei MatePad Pro", and the smartwatch "Huawei Watch 3" series.

　Huawei has also announced that it will be able to move Harmonyos 2 with about 100 Halmonyos 2.However, it seems that only China is the target.

It seems that the home country will also provide updates to old models

　In January, Huawei has set a goal to install Harmonyos on a total of 300 million terminals this year.Of these, 200 million units are for Huawei terminals and the remaining 100 million units are external.

Google's proprietary OS "Fuchsia" is also 1.0 and Tizen goes on the way of integration with Wearos.

　HARMONYOS's history seems to be a long time ago, but the flow after publishing in 2019 as "Harmonyos" cannot be said without the relationship with the US government.Android (AOSP) cannot be used but "Google Mobile Services (GMS)" cannot be used.Therefore, he launched "Huawei Mobile Services (HMS)" and raised ecosystem such as the app store "Appgallery".

　According to Huawei, more than 300 apps and service partners are currently participating, with 500,000 developers and about 1,000 hardware partners.Appgallery monthly active users are 540 million.

　On top of that, it is a launch of Harmonyos for Smartphone.

　In fact, in the past month, there were two other interesting movements besides Harmonyos.The first is that Google is developing its own OS "Fuchsia" is a version 1.0.It has started distribution for the first generation of Google's smart display "NEST HUB".

　Second, it was announced that Tizen, which was promoted by Samsung, will be integrated into Google's Wearos.

　Speaking of smartphone OS, iOS and Android have been strong.For the past 14 years, "Symbian", which had been recovering with open source in the past, "Windows Phone" promoted by Nokia / Microsoft, "Firefox OS" aimed at expanding from browser to smartphone OS, or "Ubuntux" "Ubuntu""Ubuntu Touch" for smartphones that canonical has advanced.Ubuntu Touch is currently under maintenance with the Ubports community, but has disappeared.

　If Tizen is absorbed by Wearos, it may be active only for JOLLA's "Sailfish OS" (drawing the flow of "Meego" of Nokia and Intel).
