Huawei CEO shares video of HarmonyOS 3

Huawei is hosting an event on July 27 where we’ll see the debut of HarmonyOS 3. Richard Yu, Huawei CEO, decided to tease one new feature of the new platform on his personal Weibo account - new widgets on the home screen.

Each group of apps can now have separate tabs within the folder on the home page, and can also be grouped in a rectangle, giving quick access to some programs, while keeping the bunch together. Here’s the video, shared on Twitter by @RODENT950:

HarmonyOS is Huawei’s in-house operating system, based on AOSP - after all, it is an open-source platform. However, it is not a simple skin or a redesign like many other user interfaces; Huawei has been working tirelessly in the past year and a half to make Harmony as independent as possible.

The event on July 27 will be in China and Yu is likely to reveal the domestic timeline of updates. Once we hear anything about the global launch we'll update you.
