As far as I can tell by skimming Wikipedia, no. Its based on something called OpenHarmony, which itself was based on something called LiteOS Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenHarmony

Edit: Looks like HarmonyOS used to be based off of Android, but has transitioned to OpenHarmony extremely recently. “It replaces the OpenHarmony multi-kernel system with its own HarmonyOS microkernel at its core, removes all Android code and supports only apps in its native App format.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HarmonyOS

So while you would’ve been correct a few months ago, it appears this is no longer the case. I can see why my comment would’ve seemed stupid at first.

Vendor lock-in, I don’t think so.
Maybe on a local market.

They are a major force in the Chinese market so maybe it might see some traction there, but otherwise, I still don’t see a third mobile OS getting genuine market share.

I dunno, kinda doubt it.
I don’t think most devs will be really thrilled on having to support another platform with a seemingly petty different SDK.
I think that not offering any type of Android compatibility, no matter how limited, will prove to be a mistake

My take is that it’ll become China’s “iOS”.

Android will still be around.

There will essentially be 3 competing OSes

iOS

Harmony OS

Android OS
