HarmonyOS NEXT

HarmonyOS NEXT (<a href="/facts/Simplified_Chinese_characters/UcAD6xXs">Chinese</a>: 鸿蒙星河版; <a href="/facts/Pinyin/pUwjfMXg">pinyin</a>: Hóngméng Xīnghébǎn) is a <a href="/facts/Proprietary_software/9zcskxYL">proprietary</a> <a href="/facts/Distributed_operating_system/Vm9Eu6Q4">distributed operating system</a> and a major iteration of <a href="/facts/HarmonyOS/pgEBr657">HarmonyOS</a>, developed by <a href="/facts/Huawei/Qwu0tbnL">Huawei</a> to support only HarmonyOS <a href="/facts/Native_(computing)/yNez4jAK">native</a> <a href="/facts/App_(file_format)/DC1Ts3BJ">apps</a>. The operating system is primarily aimed at software and hardware developers that deal directly with Huawei. Unlike the standard HarmonyOS and the global market <a href="/facts/EMUI/lbDMaFWf">EMUI</a>, it does not include Android's <a href="/facts/Android_(operating_system)/nNyHb0xz">AOSP</a> core and is incompatible with Android applications.
HarmonyOS NEXT both discards the common <a href="/facts/Unix-like/YAKrAxzd">Unix-like</a> <a href="/facts/Linux_kernel/dlkduHuA">Linux kernel</a> and replaces the previous <a href="/facts/Multikernel/skRKQsuM">multikernel</a> system with its own bespoke HarmonyOS <a href="/facts/Microkernel/wsaWtYCU">microkernel</a>. The rich execution environment (REE) version of HarmonyOS microkernel is placed at its core with a single framework as kernel mode. The OS shares lineage with the lightweight <a href="/facts/LiteOS/cndbkkzn">LiteOS</a> <a href="/facts/Real-time_operating_system/IvUCFwCL">real-time operating system</a> for resource-constrained devices like smart <a href="/facts/Wearable_computer/lFFo7LWf">wearables</a> and <a href="/facts/Internet_of_things/rwwGAxn3">IoT</a> products.
