Quick answers
Is the 64KB RAM claim verified?
No—only Huawei’s executive director has made the statement; no independent testing or third-party confirmation is reported.
How does HarmonyOS 7 compare to Apple or Google?
Coverage highlights **AI agents (2,000 vs. Apple’s Siri/Google Assistant)** and **optimization advantages**, but direct performance comparisons lack concrete data.
What’s the significance of the 1.3 billion device count?
It reflects **mass adoption** of HarmonyOS, surpassing Apple’s iOS ecosystem in installed base, though user engagement metrics (e.g., 50% satisfaction) are self-reported.
