Before understanding EMUI, we must first talk about the relationship between EMUI, Android, and HarmonyOS. EMUI is the system UI design, while Android and Harmony OS are operating systems. To put it simply, Android and Harmony OS are like different cake bases. For EMUI, it is the icing on the cake which forms the complete product. Of course, we all know that the icing can be of different flavors. The different icing flavors are what we know as “EMUI”, “MIUI”, “ColorOS”, etc.
