Huawei's os

 if you're a fan of huawei   what you've seen is in the past couple  of weeks that they have announced harmony   os 2 alongside their watch 3 their matepad  pro 2 and a couple of really other exciting   announcements and what we'll do today is have a  look at the future of harmony os because this is   actually something that is really exciting whether  you're a far away fan or not they've got a lot of   stuff in the pipeline apparently they've got new  wearables they've got new tech they've got new   software they've got potentially even vr glasses  that are on the way  now officially announced harmony os2  and what what we want to do is try and create an   ecosystem a little bit like apple have done with  their products and their software four we have   come up with this really catchy tagline as well  which is one as all all as one which makes you   think now that with the devices that they're gonna  release and with harmony os2 that's switching   between devices taking tasks from a phone to a  pad to a laptop it's gonna be a lot easier and   a lot simpler than it ever has been and just make  it a little bit more fun for the user okay let's   have a bit of a run down and a bit of a history  of what's happening with huawei and harmony os   so back in 2012 the company started working on an  unknown operating system but as you know in 2019   huawei were banned from using the google play  services which meant that if you wanted to go and   download a new app you couldn't do that through  the google play store and because of this huawei   had to start working on its own operating system  in 2019 because google didn't really leave them   a choice which then meant of course that's when  harmony os appeared and now just two years later  

 the brand new version of this which  is known as harmony os2 and the really interesting   thing we said this earlier in the video that  harmony os 2 is not just something designed   to work on mobile devices but designed to work on  lots of different devices across a network almost   creating an ecosystem like we have with apple this  means that harmony os will work on different smart   devices so things like wearables like for example  a watch your phone your laptop your tablet and   potentially even vehicles there's rumors that  harmony os might even work in cars harmony west   first made its debut in honor tvs that's the  first time we ever saw it and of course honor is   owned by huawei so it made sense to put it into a  product like that first but now you can see it on   things like the huawei watch 3 their tablets and  even the mate 40. this of course now means if you   buy a new huawei phone it will come pre-installed  with harmony os 2 and it even means that older   huawei devices can upgrade to that harmony os2  so you're not missing out on some of those new   features that will be in the software one of  the reasons why we want to create this ecosystem   is to help out the developers it'll mean that they  can save time when designing apps and overall just   make it a little bit easier for everyone which  in turn means it makes it easier for the user   and that user experience so if you get a huawei  phone and you're in that ecosystem already you   then see that huawei really is a speaker and you  think right i'll go and get a four-way speaker   and then you think right i've got a phone i've got  a speaker well let's go get a pull away watch and   then you know that it's going to seamlessly work  on all of your devices and make it a lot easier   than having lots of different devices owned by  different companies and being different ecosystems   ben wood at css insight said that harmony os  is designed to provide the glue and that why   we will be hoping it can follow in apple's lead  by having a single software platform that just   extends in all directions and that's something  that we mentioned earlier on in the video   one of the big things facing the iot ecosystem  is that there are so many iot enabled products   and these get managed by various different  applications it was mentioned that harmony   os is here to provide a unified language between  products just to make it easier for the user the   buyer the developers everyone before we compared  this new harmony os to something quite strange   but did compare it to people they mentioned that  people communicate through a unified language so   that they think that their software and their  hardware should do exactly the same 

 what they hope to use harmony os 2 for in sure  harmony os provides a single device for all   situations and that means that smart devices will  collaborate together and take far away and harmony   os from an isolated ecosystem into something that  is much more involved one of the most interesting   things that have come from huawei is that they  want to let you use one single device to control   everything which is gonna be called a super device  which to me i think sounds really cool this means   that if your super device is using harmony os it  can control every other device that is also using   harmony os and let me explain how this one kind  of works if you have a phone and tablet linked   and are on harmony os it will look for one of  your devices and name it as that super device   which that means you can take tasks from  one phone over to the other using the task   center and this just makes it a lot easier and  a little bit like apple with notes for example   so if you write a note on your phone you can go  to your mac and then you can carry on writing   that note and you can even control what  applications run where then you look at something   like the wearables like the huawei watch 3 and  then you think how does harmony os work with this   well for this what you'll be able to do with this  is take a photo on your phone but from your watch   so you don't even have to go and touch your phone  then the watch can do other things as well on that   harmony os it can store your travel passes and  your boarding passes you can then check the score   of your favorite sports team or you can even then  start controlling the lights in your smart home if   it's all linked with harmony os2 which means that  the watch will have a control panel implementation   

if you think though huawei are done there with  what we've mentioned then you would be very wrong   because at the moment huawei are in the middle  of a timeline this started of course in 2019 with   those honor tvs that we mentioned earlier on and  last year huawei announced their watches and other   wearables but in the next couple of years leading  up to 2022 we expect to see things like harmony os   4 in that time we should see some smart speakers  headphones and even potentially some vr glasses   from huawei and with huawei at the moment it  sounds like a really exciting time to be part of   this huawei ecosystem or that the ecosystem that  they're trying to create enhance and make better   and remember we could end up having these super  devices which can control everything from our   homes to our watches to our speakers all from one  device and one of the main highlights from huawei   is that harmony os is going to be unleashed  as an open source platform so it gives people   that chance to create innovate and make things  that they might not have been able to do before   when it comes to the harmony os ecosystem  huawei will share its core capabilities   and open up regarding the concepts like camera ai  and connectivity and furthermore to that to assure   and provide customers with an excellent experience  in terms of service and app delivery and that   means that huawei will move and work closely  with other organizations to make this ecosystem   the best it could be and it's a really exciting  time for far away.
