Harmony OS

Harmony OS is an operating system developed by Huawei. It is designed to provide a unified and seamless experience across a range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and smart home products. Harmony OS aims to facilitate interoperability and enhanced performance by enabling multiple device types to communicate and work together effectively. The OS employs a microkernel architecture, which is intended to improve security and efficiency by running essential functions at a lower level than other components. Harmony OS supports multiple programming languages and development frameworks, enabling developers to create applications that can run across different hardware platforms with minimal modifications. It reflects Huawei's strategy to create an ecosystem that reduces reliance on third-party operating systems, particularly in light of international trade challenges.
