The 700 billion market capitalization giant announced its full support for the HarmonyOS system and officially "embraced" Huawei
As we all know, before Huawei launched the HarmonyOS operating system, the vast majority of smartphones on the market used Android, and Google's Android and Apple's iOS were once formed in the entire mobile phone operating system market"Stand on both sides"situation.
This is also very understandable, after all, the Android system has been basically open to the global public, with years of optimization, the Android system has been relatively perfect, and there are no restrictions on its use, even Huawei, which was not embargoed by the United States before, is also using the Android system.
In this regard, Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, once said in an interview with foreign media: Huawei certainly hopes to continue to use the operating system and mobile phone ecology that are open to the world.
Because if you want to study a mobile phone operating system, it is not enough to rely on yourself, you must invest huge manpower, material and financial resources, and start independent research and development from the source, and it is not without the possibility of failure.
However, Ren Zhengfei also said that if the United States really wants to do everything possible to restrict Huawei, then it is also an inevitable trend for Huawei to develop its own operating system, and it will only take two or three years for Huawei to establish its own operating system ecosystem. It can be seen that Huawei is preparing to develop its own mobile phone operating system.
Later, Ren Zhengfei's words became a pain point for Huawei, Huawei's strong rise was still targeted by the United States, and Google stopped providing services to Huawei, Huawei can no longer use the Android ecosystem, in this case, Huawei quickly launched an alternative HarmonyOS system plan.
In August 2019, Huawei officially launched the HarmonyOS operating system, but at that time, Huawei's definition of HarmonyOS was only a globally distributed operating system. Later, Ren Zhengfei also admitted frankly that the HarmonyOS system did not provide services for smartphones at first, but for the Internet of Things, but in the face of the coup d'état and general restrictions in the United States, Huawei finally let the HarmonyOS system"Spin-offs"out, and plans to use two or three years to improve the ecology.
In fact, Ren Zhengfei's intention is obvious, and pushing the Hongmeng system to the front of the stage is also to knock on the mountain and make the United States understand that even if they continue to restrict and sanction Huawei, Huawei is not"No cards can be pulled", the big problem is to fully convert the HarmonyOS system into an application for mobile phones.
Obviously, at the beginning, the United States did not take the HarmonyOS system seriously, but just thought that with Huawei's strength, it would not be able to make a self-developed operating system.
The result surprised the United States that Huawei not only really used the HarmonyOS system on mobile phones, but also perfected the HarmonyOS ecosystem in two or three years. According to statistics, Huawei launched HarmonyOS 2 in early June 20210 version, began to fully realize the replacement of Hongmeng, only some time ago4 months, the installed capacity of Hongmeng OS has exceeded 1500 million units.
Subsequently, at this year's Huawei Developer Conference, Yu Chengdong once again announced an exciting news: the number of devices equipped with the Hongmeng ecosystem has exceeded 700 million!
From the launch of Hongmeng to the full application of mobile phones, Huawei took two years;The installed capacity from the red Meng system is 1From 500 million units to more than 700 million units, it took Huawei another two years. In the past four years, Huawei has successfully built the world's third-largest mobile phone operating system comparable to Android and iOS, and a completely self-developed ecosystem with unique Chinese characteristics
Therefore, at the new product launch conference on September 25, Huawei finally dared to officially release HarmonyOSNew and announced that it will no longer be compatible with Android applications in the future. This is not to let the United States use the Android system, but to ask Huawei to use the Android system, and Huawei will not use it anymore.
Subsequently, at the instigation of Huawei, many large domestic manufacturers also followed the example of the Ecological Red Alliance, including Tencent, Alipay and other domestic giants in various fields expressed their intention to join the Ecological Red Alliance. Not long ago, an Internet giant company with a national market value of 700 billion also suddenly announced"Hugs"Huawei fully supports the Hongmeng system, and this giant company is Meituan, a well-known technology retail company in China.
Meituan said it will work with Huawei in a range of technology areas and levels based on the HarmonyOS system, and Huawei also said that HarmonyOS's unique distributed technology will provide seamless connectivity across devices for Meituan's services.
In addition, while HarmonyOSNew is currently only in preview for developers, there are industry experts** who will release HarmonyOS 5 in 20240 is likely to achieve a decrease in compatibility with Android apps and fully adopt the native HarmonyApp.
In addition, Huawei's comprehensive launch of its own Hongmeng system has also attracted the participation of domestic friends, Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo are interested in building their own systems, which shows that the birth of Huawei's Hongmeng system has greatly promoted the positioning process of the mobile phone operating system, and I believe that there will be more and more excellent domestic systems in the future.
