The full-stack system for devices up to 128MB-4GB is open source. “Third party mobile phone manufacturers are welcome to use the Hongmeng (Harmony) system”.
Recently, a Weibo tipster shared the new information regarding the HarmonyOS source code. According to post, HarmonyOS open-source code is currently about 8GB. On the other hand, the Android open source has exceeded 60GB, which is very big now. Furthermore, it’s also best for devices that only have 32GB of internal memory.

According to the plan, from September 10, 2020, HarmonyOS will be oriented to large screens, watches, cars, etc. 128KB-128MB. The terminal equipment will be open source. In April 2021, it will be open source for terminals with memory 128MB-4GB, and after October 2021, it will be open source for all devices above 4GB.
