HarmonyOS NEXT does not support Android apps because it is designed as a fully independent operating system, aiming to establish its own ecosystem2. This decision allows Huawei to gain more control over its software and reduce reliance on Google's Android system. As a result, developers need to create native HarmonyOS applications for compatibility with Huawei devices.
HarmonyOS NEXT includes AI features such as image generation, sound repair, image-to-audio descriptions for visually impaired users, and the ability for third-party apps to leverage AI for tasks like translation36. It also features "Harmony Intelligence", Huawei's take on AI, which enhances accessibility and productivity through innovative AI features.
