To people interested but not willing to watch a Huawei pr event live stream, maybe https://techxplore.com/news/2021-06-huawei-smartphones.html gives a satisfying quick glance what's up. Or wait until the event is over and read up on it then.
Funnily enough (from above mentioned article):
> Owners of Huawei phones who have no access to Google services won't be able to download apps such as Gmail or YouTube. Instead, HMS offers shortcuts to the mobile sites of such services.
Yes, that kind of sounds... like an improvement actually, in many cases.
I use the mobile YouTube website, surprisingly usable and I dodged the whole weird YouTube quality selector thing. (Things usually trickle in later though, they only added the weird comments-not-at-the-bottom thing recently)
Unveiled on 9 August 2019, Huawei initially stated that it would be an independently-developed, microkernel-based, distributed OS, and "completely different from Android and iOS",[1] but it was later discovered that HarmonyOS was actually a derivative of Android.
It is a micro kernel os. On top of it you can run parts of android in order support existing android apps.
I will give you it is not easy to get proper information on it as the primary documentation is in Chinese and there is quite a bit of bad faith coverage of anything Huawei out there.
Short term I think they focus on the Chinese market, so it doesn’t matter. However long term I guess they would have to advocate to English speaking developer communities.
I enjoyed using Huawei devices until the US kneecapped them, unfortunately it again shows the US big tech hegemony in that an electronic device is not useful unless it runs US software.
I'm all for reducing my reliance on American big tech.
> I'm all for reducing my reliance on American big tech.
As a European completely agree - but not to instead have reliance on Chinese big tech! But I guess anyone who buys Huawei doesn't care where their data goes.
Honest question:
Do we, the HN community, believe that we can have good faith discussions about Huawei without the interference of PRC propagandists on the one side and anti-Sino infowarriors on the other?
I trust that HN will down vote, or at least intelligently counter any dishonest comments. If those "PRC propagandists, and ant-sino infowarriors" are making their respective points honestly, then I see no problem with having them around.
I'm not sure what the point of this question is. I am willing to engage in good faith conversations but many people aren't. Oftentimes I'm immediately labeled a propagandist/bot, or just downvoted without replies, without any consideration for what I actually said or the sources I provided or my long history. Most people seem to have already made up their minds to attack people that have opinions that differ from their own.

the whole file transfer thing looks so much better to what we have today.... i use kde connect and i have to send files. then select them. This would pick and drop files. Super good.
But..... the whole connected thing makes me queasy
If it works like that in real life it looks really nicely integrated with IoT devices.
I like how you can attach floating devices to your main devices it looked so simple.
This video is super strange to me. First, could everything not be a bigger Apple rip? From the countdown to the camera angles, the way the camera moved to reveal the CEO, the cut away house and even the rings on top of the stage that echo Apple Park… and that’s not even talking about the “MateBook”, AirPods knock offs, OS look and feel, etc. I’d be embarrassed to work for Huawei.
But then they’re introducing a new OS. What do we start with? Control panel! Ok.. that’s very strange. Perhaps you want to give more context about what you’ve done, why, and why people should care?
You can copy looks and camera shots, but apparently you can’t copy good storytelling.

The cooperative form of organization seems quite healthy though.
