Harmony OS 2.0 includes Android Q s easter egg app
Huawei says it relies on a variety of open-source repositories to speed up development of Harmony OS 2.0.
Huawei’s Harmony OS 2.0 has many similarities to Android 10.
This includes the presence of the Android Q easter egg in the list of installed apps.
Huawei says it’s used “a large number of third-party open-source resources” to develop the platform.
This year, we first heard that Huawei’s Harmony OS 2.0 developer preview had a ton in common with Android 10. It all suggested Huawei’s new platform was actually just Android with EMUI and a few tweaks.

Android | Google
Android, first released in 2008, is still a relatively young operating system. However, with some years seeing multiple updates, there have been plenty of Android versions to look at. Some were better than others, so let’s rank the 10 greatest.

Android 12 developer preview bolsters privacy, user experience
Developers can play with new capabilities in security, privacy, media transcoding, rich content insertion, audio, and more.
With the first developer preview of the planned Android 12 platform, the developers of Google’s mobile OS are emphasizing privacy, user experience, and app compatibility.
The Android 12 developer preview, which is not intended for consumer use, was introduced on February 18. Instructions on accessing the preview can be found at developer.android.com.
To bolster user privacy, Android 12 adds controls over identifiers that can be used for tracking as well as safer defaults for app components. The builders of Android recommend testing to gauge the effects of these changes, adding that more security and privacy capabilities are coming in later preview releases. Platform stability is expected in August, with the final release
