And it's finally here. After many rumors and the confirmation offered yesterday by Huawei at its developer conference, the famous TV with HarmonyOS it is ready to be released in the Chinese market. This is what we know about him so far.
An Honor TV and with HarmonyOS
Yesterday was an important day for Huawei. The Asian company held its Developers Conference 2019 in its homeland, China, in which it made official HarmonyOS, your new operating system. As you already know, the technology firm had been developing this new ecosystem for some time, but the events that occurred with its veto in the US by Donald Trump accelerated the entire process. Although finally it seems that the waters have returned to normal and Huawei (and therefore his sister Honor of him) will continue using android on its devices, the brand has not wanted to stop demonstrating what it is capable of and has presented its new operating system to the world.
As we explained to you yesterday in our questions and answers about HarmonyOS, the system will not reach home terminals at the moment, but it will reach other devices. And it is that in the end, this platform is much more plural and multifaceted than initially thought, and it will be used for a multitude of equipment that allow Huawei to create a home or connected environment centralized in the same software.

Proof of it? His first official device with the system: nothing less than a TV. The TV, launched under the embrace of Honor, can be reserved starting tomorrow in the Chinese market, thus inaugurating a new era in the company's catalogue. His official name is Honor Vision Pro and even has one pop-up camera (yes, like the one on phones), which is used to hold video conferences, with a 1080p video resolution. The company has already taken care of reassure privacy-conscious staff by ensuring that the camera is only deployed when the video conference call is activated or if the user specifically opens it.
As for the rest of the specifications, the people of The Next Web reveal to us that the television has a 4K UHD panel with viewing angles of 178 degrees and a brightness of 400 nits. Inside it runs an eight-core processor signed by the house (it is the Honghu 818), accompanied by a new image processor.
It goes without saying that the television has the usual features and qualities of current Smart TVs, offering support for HDR, Super-Resolution technologies, Noise Reduction, local dimming, dynamic contrast enhancement and automatic color management, among other benefits. .
As for Prices, there are two versions of the TV: a standard model without the pop-up camera and with 16 GB of internal storage, with a price of 3.999 yuan (about 510 euros to change), and another with the usual webcam and 32 GB internal for 4.799 yuan (about 600 euros according to the current conversion). At the moment there is no information on its availability outside of China, although we maintain the hope that Huawei decides on an international distribution. Do not worry, if so, we will let you know here immediately.
