Huawei has announced its first HarmonyOS-powered devices: a pair of smart TVs called the Honor Vision and Honor Vision Pro, which will go on sale in China next week, reports Gadgets360.
Announced yesterday, HarmonyOS is Huawei’s big attempt to decrease its reliance on Google’s Android operating system.
Since Google suspended Huawei’s Android license back in May, the company has been open about its plans to develop an alternative operating system, although it says that HarmonyOS has been in development for over two years.
Eventually, HarmonyOS will run on everything from wearables to PCs and tablets, but for now Huawei says its focus is on “smart screens” like this.
Although the company has indicated that the OS is ready to run on phones, it has said that it plans to continue using Android for its own smartphones for the time being.
In terms of hardware, the TVs include Huawei’s Honghu 818 chipset, an octa-core processor which will process the images seen on screen.
The controlled car, mounted on rails, travels along a trough-like track and is powered by electrical currents.
Many companies also operate under a similar “command and control” model: A few company leaders hold all the power, specific company details (financials and salaries, for example) are closely guarded, and workers are expected to stay “on track.” Success is about following the rules.
While that controlling management style may work in an industrial context, it doesn’t work well in a knowledge economy powered by code.
Modern organizations must go “off the rails” and empower workers with the data they need to determine their direction, speed, and destination.
I’ve co-founded and led three previous companies, and each of those experiences taught me how vital it is to get culture right.
I trust my tribe to make the right decisions at the edges of our organization.
Today, Chinese manufacturing giant, Huawei, commenced its annual developer conference.
We already knew that Huawei has its own OS and we have heard names like HongMeng OS, Ark OS, Oak OS, etc.
However, when the company announced the system, it came with the name “Harmony OS”.
Speculations did not capture this name and Huawei’s CEO has explained the reason behind the name.
“HongMeng’s meaning in Chinese is something close to “opening the earth”.
The closest English word is Genesis which loosely mean “beginning”.
For months, rumors have circulated that Chinese tech giant Huawei was hard at work on a homegrown operating system, an increasingly necessary step toward independence after US sanctions prompted Google to sever ties.
It’s true that HarmonyOS has been built with that breadth of applications in mind.
The open-source platform is destined for smart TVs, smartwatches, and a bevy of Internet of Things doodads.
(The kernel is the core of an operating system, the hands that make the marionette dance.
Huawei touts HarmonyOS as having a “Deterministic Latency Engine,” a fancy way of saying that it can better prioritize resources when apps and functions compete over them.
While smartphones weren’t the primary focus of Huawei’s announcement, they’re clearly top of mind.
Microsoft Windows is the most commonly used OS on desktop and laptop PCs around the globe and that is not by chance.
Thanks to its simplicity that makes it easy to use for new comers, as well as its more advanced side which allows power users to get the best out of the system, the OS made in Redmond has become gained huge popularity.
Plus, its high game compatibility also makes it the go-to operative system for any gamer.

The software platform took centerstage at Huawei’s developer conference in China, where we learned it’s designed to offer a unified and cohesive experience across a variety of devices including tablets, wearables, computers, cars, smart screens, and other smart devices; but crucially it won’t be coming to smartphones — yet.
But work on the OS stretches back even further than that, with development having started two years ago, according to the company.
“We’re entering a day and age where people expect a holistic intelligent experience across all devices and scenarios”, said Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group.
“To support this, we felt it was important to have an operating system with improved cross-platform capabilities.
We needed an OS that supports all scenarios, that can be used across a broad range of devices and platforms, and that can meet consumer demand for low latency and strong security.”
For key aspects, not for phones yet
On stage at the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC 2019) in Dongguan, Huawei’s CEO Richard Yu confirmed that tomorrow (August 10) the world should expect an Honor TV announcement.
Having just announced Huawei’s new cross-device operating system, HarmonyOS, a potential alternative to Android down the line, and a smart device OS in the meantime, Yu revealed that the Honor TV will be the first device/service to run it.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard murmurs of Honor launching a TV.
In July, Honor lifted the lid on its Honghu 818, a television chipset.
This octa-core processor is clearly more capable than your average TV engine.
With support for Motion Estimation/Compensation, HDR, Super Resolution, Noise Reduction, Dynamic Contrast Improvement, Auto Color Management and Local Dimming, it’s clearly smart, and if it’s anything like the products Honor has launched in the smartphone world, it will be competitively priced.

Chinese media, meanwhile, claims that Huawei plans on stuffing the OS in a phone due to launch later this year.
Anonymous sources told Global Times that the phones will be priced at around $288 for low and medium-end markets and will ship in their millions, along with the Huawei Mate 30 series, in the fourth quarter.
Then we'll do it Huawei – and roll our own mobile operating system
Huawei's UK PR was unable to provide any details on licensing or availability.
The OS, also known as Hongmeng, has been compared to Google's Fuchsia – which is also microkernel-based – and promises developers the ability to write once, run anywhere.
Speaking today at the Huawei Developer Conference in Songshan Lake, China, CEO Richard Yu spoke of a multi-device IDE, multi-language unified compilation, and a distributed architecture kit.
The software will first appear in smart screen devices and will eventually be available on wearables and in-car systems too.
The debut comes as President Trump said the US will cut its ties with Huawei.
On Friday, Chinese tech giant Huawei unveiled its new HarmonyOS software— an operating system for its upcoming electronic devices.
The launch comes as Huawei remains on a blacklist that prevents it from working with American software giants like Google.
In the wake of Huawei's announcement, President Trump said on Friday that the United States will cut its ties with the Chinese tech behemoth.
The move comes just after China had stopped purchasing American agricultural products, a response to the Trump administration's latest round of tariffs on Chinese imports.
We’ve known that Huawei has been working on an Android alternative for a while now, but today it was finally named: HarmonyOS.
The operating system was officially announced by Huawei CEO Richard Yu at the Huawei Developer Conference in Dongguan today.
Huawei is pitching HarmonyOS as a microkernel-based open-source OS that can be used on a variety of different devices, from smartphones and computers to wearables and smart displays.
HarmonyOS has just been announced at HDC2019!
How are we going to build an all-scenario smart ecosystem and experience?
How will we overcome the challenges of future OS for connected things?
Huawei unveiled more details about its in-house developed operating system – Harmony – and its new user interface – EMUI 10 - at an event held in China in a bid to reduce its reliance on American tech companies, especially Google’s Android.
Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group, speaking at the 2019 Developers Conference said that it intends to continue to use Android moving forward for its smartphones but if not, Huawei is capable of rolling out its new OS within two days.
In May, Huawei was added to the Entity List which halts the ability to do business with US companies.
According to industry experts, there are good chances of its Mate 30 series smartphones, which are to be unveiled in October, to be powered by the new OS if the US ban continues.
Honor TV to be powered by new OS
Moving forward, Yu said Huawei will lay the foundations for Harmony OS in the Chinese market, and then expand it further to the global ecosystem.
Today, Huawei's saber-rattling reached a new volume with the announcement of "HarmonyOS," Huawei's home-grown operating system.
At the "Huawei Developer Conference 2019," Huawei gave a Chinese-language presentation on HarmonyOS, which included only a vague overview of the OS and no screenshots or demos.
HarmonyOS isn't quite targeting smartphones yet, and the OS will first debut on the "Honor Smart Screen" (which sounds like an Echo Show or Google Home Hub) and Huawei TVs.
Huawei said an expansion to smartphones could happen sometime over the next three years, but for now, it wants to stick with Android.
The first Tizen smartphone isn’t an “Android killer”—it’s a bad Android clone
As for what HarmonyOS actually is, the company described it as "a microkernel-based OS, distributed OS for all scenarios."
The long-rumored HongMeng system has finally here.
However, this system came with the name Harmony OS.
Nevertheless, it appears that the Harmony OS will still use the HongMeng name in China.
For this system, Huawei is confident in its performance because the company wants to build a platform-wide ecosystem.
Huawei’s CEO, Yu Chengdong, believes that migration from Android to Harmony OS is very convenient.
Harmony OS is based on a microkernel.
Apple is expanding the scope and the financial rewards of its bug bounty programme, offering up to $1 million to security researchers that find flaws in its full range of products.
The company launched a bug bounty programme for iOS three years ago, offering up to $200,000 to ethical hackers that responsibly reported vulnerabilities.
Now, the programme has been extended to cover Mac OS, Apple TV, Apple Watch and iPad OS.
At present, iPads run iOS, but a new operating system will be rolled out to compatible tablets later this year.
For all devices, the maximum $1 million bounty will be available to those who find advanced security flaws, while $500,000 will be given for reporting flaws that could potentially result in the loss of user data.
There will also be a 50 per cent bonus if the vulnerability is discovered in a beta version of any software.
At the 2019 Huawei Developers Conference held this afternoon, Huawei’s Yu Chengdong announced the launch of Harmony OS.
This is a full-scale distributed OS based on a microkernel.
But it’s more interesting what progress it will have.
In 2019, Harmony OS 1.0 was released.
Based on the open-source architecture, the key modules were self-developed and used on the smart screens.
In 2020, Harmony OS 2.0 will be released, and it will use a self-developed kernel and application framework.
At the Huawei Developer Conference, the Chinese vendor has showcased Harmony OS, its in-house operating system to provide an alternative to Google’s Android.

Currently, Harmony OS is more of a competitor to Google’s IOT focused OS, Fuchsia, but it is not difficult to see this was developed with mobile in mind also.
Many have connected the White House’s propaganda to the on-going trade ware between the US and China, though the underlying reasons are irrelevant; the ripples of posturing are going to have negative impacts.
This of course includes Google and Android.
Huawei might downplay the importance of this move, though the implications are significant.
Huawei on Friday unveiled its long-awaited self-developed operating system HarmonyOS on its smart television product, but it may not be an Android alternative as previously rumored.
Why it matters: HarmonyOS, also known as Hongmeng OS, was deemed to be Huawei’s alternative to Google’s Android after the Chinese firm was cut off from US technology.
The debut of the operating system was on Huawei’s TV set, but it is not yet available on smartphones.
The current version of the operating system, or the HarmonyOS 1.0, runs on the company’s TV product, which was released last month.
The future HarmonyOS will support a wide range of devices from personal computers to smartwatches, as well as virtual reality glasses, said Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, at the Huawei Developer Conference in Dongguan on Friday, without mentioning any plan to install it on smartphones.
