Huawei HarmonyOS Firmware Updates
Beta versions of HarmonyOS 2.0 have started rolling out to more devices, including the Huawei P30 and Mate 30 Pro 5G. You can see it running on real hardware in the videos below.
Finally… A video of #HarmonyOS Beta 1 on #Huawei Mate 30 with #EMUI11 on top.
There is not so much to see. Apart from how Android apps are fluid. I doubt that they are native apps.

This mirrors the Open Handset Alliance, which is in charge of Android OS (it’s about ensuring cooperation more than about who does most of the development).
Anyway, HarmonyOS 2.0 beta has already reached some devices and many more may be eligible. Newly-independent Honor is considering its options and has not ruled out using Harmony (even though using GMS appears to be back on the table).
