Huawei is looking to take on the big players in the desktop operating system arena with its own Android-free PC alternative. Reports indicate that the Chinese tech giant’s new OS could ship later this year, and that its design will be macOS-inspired.
Looking to take on mainstays like Windows 11 and woo users away, Huawei already has the expertise and experience of making its own operating system, HarmonyOS - and a new iteration, HarmonyOS Next - for mobile devices and wearables like smartwatches. Working against Huawei, though, is the fact it’s been facing scrutiny around concerns that its products supposedly facilitate surveillance by the Chinese government.
