Huawei plans to share HarmonyOS, its Android replacement, with other manufacturers - Android

Yu said that Huawei might be open to sharing HarmonyOS to other smartphone OEMs just in case they can’t obtain a license to use Google Mobile Services (GMS). Huawei’s own Mobile Services (HMS) and HarmonyOS is now being used on new Huawei smartphones that came out since they lose the license.

HarmonyOS, which is now in its version 2.0, is tested on smartphones with select partners and developers. A couple of high-end Huawei phones are currently beta testing the said interface.

It’s said that HarmonyOS 2.0’s development is going great and may already have all the features to be a complete alternative to Android.

However, just like the issues we had on EMUI 11-running Huawei phones that lack GMS, the apps available on the Huawei App Gallery — Huawei’s alternative to the Google Play Store — is still very limited. Even a couple of the most popular apps in the world are still absent.

Chances are, Huawei’s objective in sharing its own operating system with other brands is so more developers are enticed to bring their apps to the Huawei ecosystem.
