#Huawei EMUI

Previously, Google had collaborated with several OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer)—such as Huawei and LG—to craft the ‘Nexus’ phone lineup. EMUI / HarmonyOS When fairness is served on the table, Huawei would probably walk out, unfazed and seemingly unthreatened despite the economic pressures it dealt previously. As we now witness their next generation of smartphones to be running on HarmonyOS that should deliver seamless experience on Huawei products’ ecosystem. However, HarmonyOS still closely resembles its predecessor, EMUI—Huawei’s prior Android skin. EMUI (until the 9th version) supported Google Services, but apparently, Huawei had contingency plan already laid out as they aggregate their own core services (which is now called HMS) to their Android skin. Even before the so-called “export ban,” AppGallery and other Huawei core apps are already existing within EMUI. And expectations are set for HarmonyOS to establish its own unique identity over EMUI. Huawei makes some of the most interesting little gadgets around and when I visited their booth at CommunicAsia yesterday, they've got a dozens of Pocket WiFi and USB sticks for all sorts of cellular network on display.
