Nokia is rumored to launch a flagship phone that uses the Huawei HarmonyOS operating system. The news was immediately dismissed by Nokia and Huawei.
This rumor comes from The Paper, a media outlet from Taiwan, which says that Nokia will launch the X60 series that uses HarmonyOS. Soon after, Nokia denied the rumors and said they are committed to offering Android to users.
"Our commitment to provide the best Android experience will remain steadfast," said Nokia as quoted by Gizmochina, Friday (7/7/2021).
Huawei also made the same objection. In an official statement to the China Global Times, Huawei said rumors about Nokia mobile phones using HarmonyOS are false.

As previously reported, Nokia is said to be launching two phones that use HarmonyOS, the X60 and X60 Pro. Both will be the first non-Huawei devices to use the operating system.
Reportedly, the brand held by HMD Global has adopted HarmonyOS to increase its share in the Chinese market. It is possible that the Nokia X60 series using HarmonyOS is only intended for the Chinese market.
Reports from Taiwan also revealed leaked specifications for the X60 series. Regardless of the operating system used, this phone seems destined to be Nokia's flagship phone for 2021.
The Nokia X60 series is claimed to have a high-spec curved screen with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 144 Hz. The phone is also rumored to have a 200 MP camera and a 6,000 mAh battery.
