Chinese tech giant Huawei has launched its new Mate 70 series smartphone lineup, which will be the first smartphone series offered with the company’s new HarmonyOS Next operating system (OS). It is touted to offer several interesting features, including a gesture-operated file transfer feature, and runs without Google’s Android support or its apps. Therefore, this new OS still requires some time to fully mature and gain widespread adoption.
