Following this release, some developers on the XDA forum indicated that HarmonyOS 2.0 still appears to be based on the Android operating system rather than a completely new OS.To address these concerns, Wang Chenglu, President of Huawei's Consumer Software Division, recently provided an official response. He stated that HarmonyOS is not a replica of iOS or Android and subsequently presented a comparative table highlighting the main differences among these three mobile operating systems.Harmony OS:- Hardware Platform: Apart from smartphones, Harmony OS can also run on various IoT devices such as TVs, cars, and smart home appliances
