    My Huawei phone still seems to run on Android (according to the kernel version). Does anyone know more details when this will be available?

      I havent seen more than a list of eligible devices and a general timeframe like the above article describes.

      Some sources stated that it’s only for the ALS models (Chinese) and that others arent getting the update due to not being sold in China. I’d assume that someone will find a way to opt-in early on said devices (maybe through their desktop update tool or changing regions) but I couldnt locate a nice list with dates and models for outside of China.

      The closest I’ve seen is this one:

        Thanks, looks like I will have to wait a while longer.

      Existing models before the Huawei ban won’t face any issues. They will still run android.

        Why do you think that the upgrade will cause issues?

          Not about the harmony OS but about android support on Huawei mobiles. I meant that people will still be able to use Android without any issues on existing huawei models.

            Afaik Harmony OS is just a fork of Android, not like they rewrote it from scratch (that would take a lot more time).
