The first HarmonyOS-powered phone from Huawei to arrive in 2021

Anonymous, 1 hour agoI call BS… If App Gallery is so survivable, which is not, as you still need to sideload apps… moreIn my country there is apps for every bank, and every app can be installed. Give support to players like Huawei, just to break monopol.

In democracy they make noise once alternative spying becomes available in dictatorship you always under unknown situation. Certainly democracy in paper is good but Chinna had progressed soo far under dictatorship. May be this is time they get some relaxation.

It seems like a deliberate strategy to tank Nokia and also Ballmer strategy did not work and Sathya Nadella was more a software & service (Cloud) centric person. I used their Lumina 950XL which was a great mobile with great display, camera etc… getting App developers was not a difficult than today with the consolidated position. Nokia didn’t have the advanced tech patents like Huawei for it to survive the hardware game where China is ahead many many years with their expertise manufacturing for Western markets.

This is very much needed, hope they are not offshoot of Android fork. It must have is own Kernal and its own home grown subsystems. Hope it is

Huawei does a pretty PR job, few articles has being silent and pull off overnight, as well, it also a common tactic for them to pay to get away things. Nevermind if backdoor in Hawei exist or not, they simply retrieve data as they please. And it part of the country’s legislation, if the government want, they have to comply, no question ask. You got to be pretty naive too think it only for domestic population. If you want a scenario: https://www.politico.eu/article/huawei-germany-court-case-privacy/

All countries, vendors collect data. But with China, it zero transparency, zero possibilities of action with no lines of border.

Alex 94, 2 hours agoAs a European I will use that App gallery all day. Every app can be installed in 5 min.I call BS… If App Gallery is so survivable, which is not, as you still need to sideload apps like Facebook, Google, Whatsapp, etc. Not to mention it almost (actually zero that I see) contain no local apps (banks, municipality, etc). Huawei re-release the P30 with Android GMS (last handset that Huawei still have license agreement) in Europe for a reason, if Huawei App is so hot, they wouldn’t need to do that.

Personally I love how some pretend they live in the US / EU, which clearly, they don’t.

We all need a Harmony, not bans. Not sure if it will be better than android though, we need OS independent from any country for it to work forever…

trapper09, 4 hours agoThis is the end for HuaweiI hope so. It should also be named as ConflictOS instead. The words Harmony and China don’t go along well.

Everyone spys on everyone..In the US, democracy allows them to atleast know about this stuff gradually & deal with it. China is so opaque – you won’t even be able to find out what systems they use to spy & do things like X!ji@ng- then you have the guts to call the Chinese way better than other Western countries..

I’m really regretting buying their Nova 3i. Just a few days after it was released, they’d then released their better phone at almost the same price, Honor Play. After some short few months, I decided to sell this but no one buys it anymore since they cut the price largely just after some few weeks.

Now I’m currently stuck with this phone and has been really pissed because they’re too persistent on pushing their annoying AppGallery and other updates every now and then

Will never buy again from this brand. They release phones like weekly and their prices devaluate very quickly. So far, this has been my greatest buyer’s remorse.

Everyone is spying on you one way or another. As long as you have internet and account/… moreShow me believable articles or instances where Huawei is spying in other countries. Tip: you can’t. All you get is their social credit system and their firewall, both of which are meant for Chinese residents only. Nothing about Huawei, just some claims that they use their equipment to spy on people. Guess who made these claims? You guessed it, our butthurt friends the americans.
Now, show me believable articles or instances where any american company is spying or taking part in spying in other countries. You get Google/Apple/Netflix/Microsoft/Facebook/literally every major american company being known to collect and sell user data, PRISM – a global surveillance program by the NSA, Boundless Informant – yet another global surveillance program by the NSA, XKEYSCORE – oh look at that what do you know it’s only another global surveillance program by our good-natured oh-so-honest folks at the NSA. Oh, and let’s not forget all of the leaks provided to us by Snowden, who has somehow become conveniently forgotten by american citizens. Still the list goes on.

Now tell me that american companies are the “good” ones. If you’re a good little american who has never travelled abroad, what can China do with your personal data? Make fake profiles on websites you’d never use, using your name? Conduct illegal business offline using your name? The airlines would have proof you’ve never flown abroad. Your own government’s vast information about you would also know that you’ve never flown abroad.

Yesssss… Finally ????????????
I waited for this, since the first time we heard about it.
I have NO problem at all saying goodbye to US Android, even im living in Denmark.

And ofc other Chinese over time will follow and support Harmony if it good. No Chinese firm will no lo ger trust the hypocrite US government anymore, like many other countries the last couple of years.

Some of the best flagship with a 3rd OS sooo nice, finally something new.
Would never go back to Apple again, been there done that. But i craving for something new, feel Android is same same and it is ofc, but mostly we see minor boring updates.

Some talk about Microsoft and their OS adventure, but times are different now and theres a huge opposition vs US, also outside China. So it wil get lots of support, from EU to for sure.

It’s a great day ????????

Alex 94, 3 hours agoThey already create App galery, which contain many popular aps. More than a million developers… moreThere is still long way to go. I actually wanted to buy the P40 Lite some time ago, but after seeing some reviews on internet about how many workarounds you need to do, I said no way.
The average person doesn’t want to do workarounds on their phones. They want to buy the phone, put the sim in and start using it.

For example, for me an European, I do not want to enter on their app store and start seeing all this Chinese apps or all that Chinese language in there. I want to look on a Samsung or Sony phone and then on a Huawei phone and be able to have the same apps instantly. If this will not happen, no way I am buying a Huawei phone.

Everyone is spying on you one way or another. As long as you have internet and account/accounts your personal data is long gone.
No matter Huawei, Google, Apple, they are all in the same boat. Just the fanboy-ism mentality will make people trust one or other. But, in the end they are collecting your data.
Of course, some companies spy on you more than others. But thinking that Huawei is one of the good companies, well..good luck with that. lol.
