Conclusion

It looks like Huawei has done a great job with the system optimization and stability on HarmonyOS which is much better than the EMUI skin. Whereas the app compatibility and support on multiple devices will make it much more convenient to use seamlessly in the same ecosystem. However, the HarmonyOS build is currently available in China only and multiple device models or specific variants aren’t supported right now.

It may take some time for other Huawei devices that are available globally. Still, if you’re interested in using HarmonyOS then you can do that too by following this guide.
