Huawei will continue to build a full-scene experience and improve its hardware and software service capabilities, with 100 million devices expected to have HarmonyOS installed this year, said Xu Zhijun, vice chairman and chairman-in-office of Huawei, on April 12.

Huawei says it wants to start making 6G commercially available around 2030, in what may be the first time a Chinese tech giant has proposed a clear timeline for the commercialization of next-generation communications technology.

In February, Midea, another Chinese home appliance giant, said it would work more with Huawei this year to launch more HarmonyOS-powered appliances starting in April.

Xiaomi has become the No. 1 smartphone maker in China and the No. 3 in the world with a global market share of 13 percent in February, while Huawei sits fourth in China with a 4 percent global market share, according to a new report from Counterpoint Research.

Honor CEO George Zhao said on March 31 that the company has completed its integration after its separation from Huawei.

Huawei's 2020 sales revenue rose 3.8 percent year-on-year to RMB 891.4 billion ($136 billion) and net profit rose 3.2 percent year-on-year to RMB 64.6 billion, according to figures released by the company today.

The release of Huawei's P50 series could be delayed, possibly even until its summer launch in June, a tech blogger said on Weibo Monday.

Chinese tech giant Huawei's operating system HarmonyOS could become commercially available as soon as April and no later than mid-year.

Huawei will invest $220 million to support developers in its ecosystem this year with the aim of bringing the number to 3 million.

The main Huawei Developer Conference 2021 (Cloud) will be held in Shenzhen, China, with more than 70 sessions around the world.
