Chinese smartphone giant Huawei recently officially confirmed that some of its EMU 11 phones will be able to install its own HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system. Now a post has appeared on the Chinese social network Weibo, according to which smartphones with the Kirin 9000 chip (presumably the upcoming Huawei Mate 40 series) will get it first, then phones powered by the Kirin 990 5G chipset (some P40 and Mate 30 series models) and more later another.
The "others" should include, among other things, phones built on the older Kirin 710 chip, but apparently not all of them. As a reminder - the two-year-old chipset powers, for example, the Huawei P30 lite, Huawei Mate 20 Lite, P smart 2019 or Honor 10 Lite. The system is also said to receive (again only some) smartphones with Kirin 990 4G, Kirin 985 or Kirin 820 chips.

As you know, the trade war between the US and China has greatly hampered Huawei's ability to launch new flagships - the aforementioned Mate 40 series was already supposed to be out, but due to limited chip stocks and the inability to use Google services in phones intended for western markets, its introduction was delayed . According to unofficial reports, the models of the series will be launched on the Chinese market in mid-October, while they will not reach the global market until next year.
HarmonyOS 2.0 is a universal open source operating system that, in addition to smartphones, is capable of powering tablets, smart watches, computers or televisions. At the moment the new version is being released in phases to developers, the first beta for phones should arrive in December.
