There are various claims and reports made on HarmonyOS, connecting this operating system with open source Android but the former head of the Huawei software department has reiterated that HarmonyOS is not a copy of Android or any other software.
During the 2022 China Integrated Circuit Summit last month, Wang Chenglu CEO of Shenzhen Kaihonog Digital Industry Development came up with a keynote speech. The keynote shows the important aspects of the HarmonyOS operating system and the mission of his company.
Interestingly, the former Huawei software chief said HarmonyOS is not Android or iOS and is not certainly a single-device operating system.
Wang mentioned the greatest value of HarmonyOS is to be used on multiple devices, which can share capabilities and use them on different platforms.
Mr. Chenglu emphasized that “In the field of the system software in China, HarmonyOS is the only one that leads all operating systems in the world in terms of technical architecture.”
It’s not the first time, Huawei stated the significance of HarmonyOS and its differentiation from other mobile software.
In 2021, Wang was Software Chief at Huawei Consumer Business Software Department and said HarmonyOS is not an alternative option to respond to US sanctions. It is not a copy of Android, nor it’s a copy of iOS. The software is solely designed for smartphones.
HarmonyOS:
HarmonyOS is a cross-device operating system designed and developed by Huawei and the company first announced this OS in 2019 at the Huawei Developer conference. However, the company introduced this OS for smartphones in the next year.
Right after the unveiling of phones, various sources began labeling HarmonyOS as an Android fork. Thereafter, Huawei published these related statements.
Wang Chenglu:
In 2015, Huawei appointed Wang Chenglu, who was leading the HarmonyOS development for years, and brought it to the HDC 2019 showcase.
In May 2022, Wang left Huawei to join China’s Kaihong Digital, which mainly focuses on the research and development of IoT operating systems.
The fact is that he is researching further on open-source HarmonyOS. Recently it is found that Kaihong is excessively creating projects based on HarmonyOS to use them in products.

Huawei is working on HarmonyOS 3.1 and it has now adopted a new development phase to start beta testing. Huawei announced HarmonyOS 3.1 during HDC 2022 event and shared a launch roadmap.
Recently, Huawei released new development samples for HarmonyOS 3.1 including API 9 support. This brings new capabilities for developers to include new features.
Below you can check the details on all these five HarmonyOS 3.1 samples.
Sample 1 – Weather:
This sample contains a sample of a weather application that has a home page, city management, the option to add cities, and notifications for weather timely updates.
With this sample, developers can learn how to use a set of codes to implement apps in different screen sizes, and maintain the overall style consistency in UI for different devices.
Sample 2: Custom Sharing:
This HarmonyOS 3.1 sample will show custom sharing for message-sending apps to share and show text, links, pictures, and more for third-party apps.
The sample will help devs to understand data requests and responses, screenshot settings, file management, and media services.
Sample 3: Puzzle
This HarmonyOS 3.1 sample brings a jigsaw puzzle game example made with grid components and realizes image fetching, cropping, and segmentation via an image processing tool and media library management interface.
This third sample enables developers to master media library management, image processing, and grid components.
Sample 4: Another game
This sample will consist of a Backgammon game providing further information to developers such as distributed data management, using the Canvas component to realize the drawing of chessboard and chess pieces to synchronize between different devices.
It will provide capabilities such as canvas components, distributed data, and device management.
Sample 5: Collection
The final sample has a collection of components, including ArkUI, general capabilities, animations, and more. Furthermore, this sample will provide developers to intuitively adapt UI component development on various devices.
Beta:
These samples will help developers to understand the latest changes in HarmonyOS 3.1. Other than that, these are indications that Huawei is gearing up for the HarmonyOS 3.1 beta on smartphones.
