I have been a supporter (not fanboy) of Huawei, but let me be honest, HarmonyOS is not exactly a new OS, as in the thing replacing Android here. It is still AOSP based, but they are calling multiple things HarmonyOS here, one being the distributed ecosystem, other being the microkernel for TVs and other devices.

I have been following this whole tirade since before the first developer kit for HongmengOS leaked on GizmoChina.

On one hand I think Huawei is misrepresenting what they are doing for phones, while on the other hand this whole thing is going beyond the integration of Apple's device ecosystem. I am interested, either way, but a more truthful PR for masses would have gained them more success.

I still remember this getting leaked on June 13, 2019 on 4Chan
