HarmonyOS (HMOS ) (Chinese : 鸿蒙 ; pinyin : Hóngméng ) is a distributed operating system developed by Huawei for smartphones , tablets , smart TVs , smart watches , personal computers and other smart devices . It has a multi-kernel design with dual frameworks: the operating system selects suitable kernels from the abstraction layer in the case of devices that use diverse resources.[ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
HarmonyOS was officially launched by Huawei and first used in Honor smart TVs in August 2019.[ 7] [ 8] It was later used in Huawei wireless routers , IoT in 2020, followed by smartphones , tablets and smartwatches from June 2021.[ 9]
The operating system was initially based on code from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and the Linux kernel ; many Android apps can be sideloaded on HarmonyOS.[ 10]
The next iteration of HarmonyOS known as HarmonyOS NEXT was announced on August 4, 2023. It replaces the OpenHarmony multi-kernel system with its own HarmonyOS microkernel at its core, removes all Android code and supports only apps in its native App format.[ 11] [ 12] It is currently in beta testing and is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2024.[ 13]
