Harmonyos arrives in Europe!After its shattering entry into China, the alternative to Huawei Android will make its big entry into the European market from 2022.The brand will also continue to offer high -end terminals in our regions.
Deprived of an Android license by decision of the United States, Huawei is no longer able to preinstall Google's services on its smartphones since 2019.To get out of its American partners, the Chinese group has accelerated the development of Harmonyos, an operating system of its vintage.
After several months of Beta, Harmonyos arrived in final version on Huawei smartphones in China in early 2021.141 phone models are compatible.The mobile OS was quickly adopted by Chinese users, which remained very faithful to the brand.In September 2021, the symbolic CAP of 100 million users on Harmonyos was moreover exceeded.
Huawei is finally preparing to launch Harmonyos in Europe
So far, Huawei has not risked deploying its Android alternative outside China.From 2022, the situation was called to change.During an interview with Adevarul, a Romanian media, Derek Yu, president of Huawei for Europe, announced the arrival of Harmonyos on the European continent in the course of next year.
“For users in Europe, we will present next year Harmonyos (2022)”, announce Derek Yu without giving a more precise date.As is the case in China, the operating system should be offered on many references from the Huawei catalog through an optional update.We assume that Huawei could take advantage of the release of a future smartphone to push your bone.

True to its habits, Huawei assured that its mobile OS is greater than the competition."When users go from Android to Harmonyos, the level of satisfaction increases by 10 %," says Derek Yu, without mentioning where he holds his figures.Finally, the manager has given details on the future of Huawei on the European market."We will continue to invest in flagships and especially in the foldable segment, but also in the Mate and P series", specifies Yu.In fact, we can expect to see other Huawei Mate X with foldable screen landing in Europe despite American sanctions.
To get around the restrictions, Huawei also develops his own 5G chips.For the time being, the Chinese giant cannot buy 5G compatible components from American suppliers, such as Qualcomm.The Nova 9, one of the last phones of the brand, is also satisfied with 4G. “Le centre de recherche et développement (R&D) de Shanghai travaille sur une solution pour les puces 5G”, rassure Derek Yu.Will Huawei manage to come back to the front of the stage?We are waiting for your opinion in the comments.
