So basicallythe highlight features of the OS assure that the new OS will be open-sourced with its own ARK compiler. Whereas, the HarmonyOSwill also be able to supportthe already existent Android apps available. Despite being a lightweight system, Harmony OS is believedto be offering some performance enhancers. The new OS will also carry supportfor high-performance graphics as it can be used to power innovative PCs alongside wearables, in-car head units, speakers and VR glasses.
Pretty retty much like the Android OS, the Chinese manufactured OS is open source, and it’s actually more of a competitor to Google’s upcoming Fuchsia, the reported success or of the Android Pie and well given that both are microkernel-based and can be deployed to multiple types of devices at once, the new prospect can definitely give a hard time to Google. It is worth noting here that the Chinese company, Huawei is set to release a phone based on HarmonyOS, a report has suggested that the launch of the said phone may take place at the end of this year alongside the launch of its Mate 30 series. The device will reportedly be a mid-range phone with some pretty decent specs.
