- A Huawei executive reportedly said that Harmony OS is coming to Europe in 2022.
- The employee was asked why Harmony OS wasn’t available on the newly launched Nova 9 phone.
- The Huawei representative also confirmed that new Mate phones are coming next year, skipping 2021.
Huawei decided to create its own mobile platform dubbed Harmony OS in the wake of the US trade ban. The platform, which purportedly shares a lot in common with Android, has largely been restricted to China. But a company representative has now revealed a rough window for wider availability.
Huawei executive Derek Yu told Romania’s Adevărul outlet (h/t: Gizmochina) that Harmony OS will come to European users in 2022. Yu gave his answer after the outlet asked why the recently launched Huawei Nova 9 came to the market with Android 11 instead of Harmony OS.
