Now, there’s a fresh input coming from China, which suggests that the first HarmonyOS equipped may not be what everyone’s thinking.

According to the Weibo tipster – PengPeng, Huawei smartphone with HarmonyOS will launch soon but it may not be the Huawei P50 and will be different as well as sold to consumers in a unique way. This product is about to enter the final stage of production and after its release, the phone will be sold through various sales channels including Huawei offline stores.

To complete the development, Huawei has already launched the HarmonyOS 2.0 mobile beta for developers in mid-December 2020. Simultaneously, the company also opened HarmonyOS 2.0 mobile beta recruitment for Huawei P40, Mate 30, and MatePad Pro devices in China, followed by the rollout.

Currently, Huawei has kept the HarmonyOS 2.0 beta-testing limited to the home ground and it’s expected that the first HarmonyOS smartphone will initially be made available for the Chinese consumers and may take some time to reach the global markets.
