Huawei Technologies has unveiled its proprietary operating system Harmony for smartphones and other devices, as US trade restrictions imposed in May threatened to cut the Chinese firm’s access to American technologies such as Android, said Reuters.
Huawei said that for now it would stick to using Google’s Android for smartphones, and the new software will gradually be rolled out to support devices such as smartwatches, speakers and virtual reality gadgets.
The new OS is part of Huawei’s attempt to develop its own technologies, from chips to software, to reduce its reliance on US firms amid an intensifying US-China trade war.
