As collected by the medium ITHome, the final version of HarmonyOS will have a totally different design than EMUI.

It is a beta version for developers, designed so that can start creating apps compatible with this system, although their appearance was very similar to EMUI 11 on Android, being able to launch applications for Android as well.

Although on the outside it looks the same as Android, inside the differences are important.

From the low-level drivers to the core layer. of abstraction of the hardware, the Huawei framework and others. Everything that could be changed has been changed. ”
