HarmonyOS Next and Android in one device: Huawei Mate 70 can support two operating systems

Huawei is gearing up to launch a new Mate 70 smartphone that can support two operating systems, HarmonyOS Next and Android.

Here's What We Know

HarmonyOS Next, the new version of Huawei's operating system, is completely independent and will not support Android-based apps. This makes it faster and more efficient for users in China. However, for the global market, Huawei plans to include support for Android apps so that users can continue to download and use familiar services such as Gmail and YouTube, despite US sanctions banning pre-installation of Google Mobile Services.

This dual system will allow users to experiment with the new OS without losing access to familiar apps, making the transition to HarmonyOS Next smoother. The Huawei Mate 70 is expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks, at which point it will become clear if these rumours are confirmed.
