HarmonyOS (HMOS) (Chinese: 鸿蒙; pinyin: Hóngméng) is a distributed operating system developed by Huawei for smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, smart watches, personal computers and other smart devices. It has a microkernel design with single framework: the operating system selects suitable kernels from the abstraction layer in the case of devices that use diverse resources.[5][6][7]

HarmonyOS was officially launched by Huawei and first used in Honor smart TVs in August 2019.[8][9] It was later used in Huawei wireless routers, IoT in 2020, followed by smartphones, tablets and smartwatches from June 2021.[10]

The operating system was initially based on code from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and the Linux kernel; many Android apps can be sideloaded on HarmonyOS.[11]

The next iteration of HarmonyOS was known as HarmonyOS NEXT. HarmonyOS NEXT was announced on August 4, 2023, and officially launched on October 22, 2024.[12] It replaces the OpenHarmony multi-kernel system with its own HarmonyOS microkernel at its core, removes all Android code and supports only apps in its native App format.[13][14]
