HarmonyOS will be available for up to 48 devices, Huawei Central believes. The 48-strong list includes current and recent flagship series, including those from Honor. Only 90% of devices will be eligible to try HarmonyOS, though.

The first HarmonyOS beta is arriving next month, in advance of which Huawei has stated that up to 90% of its devices will be eligible to move to the new OS. The first beta will only be for developers, but Huawei is reportedly gearing to have a public beta ready for April 2021.

In that vein, Huawei Central has published a list of devices that it expects to be part of that 90%. It is worth noting that the website has included the upcoming Nova 8, Nova 8 Pro and Honor V40 on the list, although they only make up just over 5% of it.

It seems to think that the Huawei Enjoy/Y series is out of contention for HarmonyOS, though.
