Yang said the Chinese tech giant wants to maintain one ecosystem at the moment, and its upcoming flagship will run Android. He also added HarmonyOS is just a Plan B in case the US authorities upholds the ban on the company.
The company released a smart TV running HarmonyOS under its sub-brand Honor, and according to Yang, it might launch a smartwatch using the same platform as well. With this statement, Huawei has squashed the rumors of a HarmonyOS powered phone for now. Plus, on Monday, the US authorities extended the company’s temporary general license by 90 more days. So, there’s no reason for it to launch a non-Android phone just yet.
