HarmonyOS
As Huawei shifts its software side of things to HarmonyOS, we get to see a newly designed user interface with HarmonyOS 2.0 for tablets. It offers a desktop-like experience and smooth multi-tasking features as well. You get a separate dock, widgets, and a control panel which look similar to Apple’s iPadOS. Huawei kept its focus on reachability so that all the in-app function bars can be shifted to the side. Other features include enhanced mouse support, multi-screen collaboration, and more.
