The networking giant who after producing a number of conflicting reports on its new operating system finally unveiled its Harmony Operating System on Friday.
The HarmonyOS is based on micro-kernel distribution system and is aimed to power on smartphones, laptops and other smart home devices.
With Harmony OS, Huawei has taken a step to reduce its dependency on American firms.
Although the operating system won’t be available for smartphones immediately, but later this year the harmony operating system will find its deployment in smart screen products such as smart TVs, smart watches and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
In the next three years, as pointed out by the CEO of Huawei consumer division, Richard Yu, the operating systems will gradually find its way into more smart devices including smartphones.
Richard also confirms that the operating system will be much more powerful and secure than Android and will have superior IPC performance.
He also pointed out, that the modular construction of this operating system allows it to be flexible enough to be incorporated into any smart devices.
What this will also lead to is seamless transmission between different devices working on the same operating system.
Now one would expect that the development of harmony OS would be a reaction to all the stuff that is happening between Huawei and US regulations.
But that is not the case as per the company the development of harmony OS started 10 years ago.
Although, the company will continue using Android for now but is sequentially planning to deploy various aspects of harmony OS into different smart devices.
If you guys are not already aware of, this event is significant because this is Huawei’s reply that has happened after US government decided to put away and 60 other affiliates in an entity list where the US norms restricted from maintaining a business relationship from the giant.

AMD continues to give its fans one reason after another to rejoice.
When AMD released its 7 NM Ryzen 3rd Generation Desktop processors they did it with a bang.
And it seems the bangs are not stopping.
AMD with its Ryzen 3rd Generation processor launch was able to meet and virtually beat its rival Intel across many different aspects where Intel was ahead of.
The parameters were single threaded performance, multi-threaded performance. heat efficiency and of course price.
And after the successful launch of desktop processor lineup the next question that everyone asked was whether AMD will be able to extrapolate this success towards mobile and server grade CPUs.
With the release of EPYC 7002 Rome series CPU aimed at server grade processing, it seems like AMD has answered that question quite beautifully.
If you want to know what is this launch means you can see this as analogous to what Ryzen 3rd generation processors were to desktop, the Epic line-up means the same for server grade computing.
With this launch AMD is bringing into the table improved IPC, more cores, improved thermal efficiency when compared with its own previous generation or Intel present generation equivalents.
PC enthusiasts are celebrating Christmas right now.
I will be creating a detailed post and video about this Epic processors on my YouTube channel so keep an eye out for that.

With so many different things being announced by Samsung in just one hour long session it seemed difficult to keep track of all the things that were announced.
But this one announcement stood out for me and I felt this is something that you would like to know as well. And it is the Samsung’s step into game streaming.
Samsung Play Galaxy Link is one feature that will now allow you to stream your games directly from your PC into Galaxy Note 10.
The decision seems really sensible looking at the fact that Google and Apple are really getting into investing very deeply into game streaming.
From the looks of it, it seems the feature will be very similar to the one introduced by Microsoft in its Xbox division where you can stream games from your PC into mobile devices.
The introduction of a Samsung play Galaxy link is not surprising as something like this was expected looking at Google stadia and Apple arcade.
Samsung wants to actively make its feet wet into streaming games and it seems like Play Galaxy link is it’s first big step.

Amazon will now be using scout robots to deliver your packages.
Amazon has been testing these scout robots to deliver different kinds of shipments to its customers and was busy testing it in Washington.
Yesterday the company announced that it is expanding its program to test the delivery using scout robots in California as well.
It seems like Amazon is very serious in automating the delivery mechanism and in previous times also we have seen amazon deploying intelligent robotic mechanisms to make things automated.
In the beginning, the Amazon scout robots will only delivering packages in a broad daylight with one employee accompanying it to test its performance and also to see how things are going.
The continuous feedback and monitoring I feel will then be interlinked with AI to improve the performance of delivery of the entire robot delivery system.
The whole scout robot mechanism will be seamlessly integrated to the delivery process and depending on what kind of product that you have ordered and what makes sense the most Logistically, will then decide whether the package will be delivered using traditional means or via scout delivery robots.
So instead of seeing a person if you see a little pet robot delivery your package, don’t be surprised.
