HarmonyOS has been around for a long time. Huawei announced it shortly after the United States blocked the Chinese company’s operations with its companies, and then it became the company’s alternative to the part that owns Android that they couldn’t access. . It was a way of take Android AOSP and upgrade it without access to Google services, thus regaining part of the control over it.
But since then HarmonyOS has only left China tentatively and without updates, despite promises to do so more emphatically and move to a wider variety of the brand’s circulating devices. But now, the president of Huawei CB for Central and Eastern Europe mentioned the departure of HarmonyOS from China. Derek Yu says that Huawei intends to introduce HarmonyOS in Europe from 2022.

The news began with a speech by Derek Yu to the media at the launch of the Huawei Nova 9. The phone sets foot in the market by carrying Android 11 after EMUI 12, as if nothing had changed for the mark in all this time, although in China the transition has taken place. The Huawei Nova 9 launches at home with HarmonyOS 2.0 and It looks like the system will launch internationally from next year.
“In June of this year, we announced HarmonyOS 2.0, first in China, and we already have over 100 million happy users with the experience offered by the operating system. When users switch from Android to HarmonyOS, the satisfaction level increases by 10%. For users in Europe, we will be introducing HarmonyOS next year (2022). “- Derek Yu for Adevarun
While Derek Yu is not getting wet when it comes to the exact date of the system’s arrival in Europe, it already seems a fact that Huawei’s operating system already has plans for its expansion into the Old Continent. And unless Huawei’s own matrix denies it, We will see it circulate in Europe in the course of 2022. We will see on which territories.
From Xataka we contacted Huawei to know firsthand the significance of this news and to officially confirm it. We are awaiting a response from the brand confirming, where possible, which devices will receive the update to HarmonyOS 2.0 or higher.
