Leak Confusion: Linux or HarmonyOS?
According to a leak from GizmoChina, five Huawei laptops may launch with Linux instead of HarmonyOS NEXT. However, these models (MateBook D14, D16, etc.) may actually be from the 2024 lineup, not the new 2025 series.
This contradiction fuels speculation that Huawei may be prepping a separate HarmonyOS laptop for launch this May.
What is HarmonyOS NEXT?
HarmonyOS NEXT is Huawei's next-generation OS designed for full-device synergy. It powers phones, tablets, wearables—and soon laptops—with one codebase and minimal overhead. Key innovations include:
- Ark Engine for smooth UI and advanced rendering
