Ships with EMUI 10.1.1 (Android 10); later HarmonyOS 2 (built on Android 10). It later moved to HarmonyOS 3 (Android-compatible); no reliable source gives the Android version HarmonyOS 3 is compatible with, so last_os is left out. No Google Mobile Services (Huawei Mobile Services and AppGallery instead): the Android-based OS may still run our APK, but Google Assistant routines (android-voice) are not available. No built-in gesture or key opens a chosen app: knuckle gestures (where present) only take screenshots or record the screen, and double-pressing Volume down only takes a photo or opens the camera. China-only model.
