In the market of smartphone operating systems, Android and iOS have always been the absolute hegemon, and other systems have little room to survive. However, recently, a jaw-dropping news came, 69 colleges and universities announced at the official press conference that the development progress of Huawei's HarmonyOS operating system far exceeded expectations!The news spread and sent shockwaves through the global tech community.
Foreign media have also said that the development speed of Huawei Hongmeng is simply too fast!What the hell is going on?What's so special about Huawei HarmonyOS?Will it be able to challenge the status of Android and iOS?
HarmonyOS is a distributed operating system independently developed by Huawei, and its birth comes in the context of Huawei's repeated sanctions and suppression by the United States. In 2019, the United States added Huawei to the Entity List, prohibiting American companies from cooperating with Huawei, resulting in Huawei not being able to use Google's Android system and services, and unable to buy American chips and technology.
This has had a huge impact on Huawei's mobile phone business, and Huawei's market share and sales have declined sharply, and it even has to honor the brand. In order to cope with this crisis, Huawei has chosen the path of self-reliance, accelerated the development and promotion of the HarmonyOS system, and also increased investment and innovation in its own chips.
The goal of the HarmonyOS system is to create a cross-platform, cross-device, and cross-scenario distributed operating system, which can adapt to different terminal devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, TVs, cars, watches, etc., to achieve seamless collaboration and intelligent interconnection between devices.
The HarmonyOS system also has its own application ecology, namely the HarmonyOS application ecology, which provides a unified set of development frameworks and interfaces, and supports a variety of programming languages, such as j**a, j**ascript, C C++, Kotlin, etc., so that developers can easily develop applications that adapt to different devices.
From the release of the first-generation HarmonyOS system in 2019 to the release of the third-generation HarmonyOS system in 2021, Huawei has completed the transformation from the compatibility and adaptation of the Android system, to completely getting rid of the foundation of the Android system**, to realizing the development and operation of native applications.
The performance and functions of the HarmonyOS system have also been continuously improved, such as fluency, battery life, security, distributed capabilities, human-computer interaction, etc., which have been significantly optimized and innovated. According to Huawei's official data, as of December 2023, the global users of the HarmonyOS system have exceeded 700 million, and the global activated devices of the HarmonyOS system have exceeded 1200 million, the global application developers of the HarmonyOS system have exceeded 4 million, and the number of global applications of the HarmonyOS system has exceeded 130,000.
HarmonyOS has become the world's third-largest smartphone operating system, behind Android and iOS. The development of the HarmonyOS system also benefits from Huawei's cooperation and expansion, Huawei not only carries the HarmonyOS system on its own mobile phones, tablets, TVs, watches and other devices, but also cooperates with many manufacturers and brands at home and abroad, such as Midea, Haier, Changhong, TCL, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Honor, OnePlus, Realme, etc., so that the devices of these manufacturers can also run the HarmonyOS system and realize the interconnection with Huawei devices.
The HarmonyOS system has also been supported by a number of universities and institutions at home and abroad, such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Tianjin University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and other 69 universities, as well as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, etc., these universities and institutions have opened relevant courses and laboratories of the HarmonyOS system, and cultivated a large number of talents and experts in the HarmonyOS system.
The rapid development of the HarmonyOS system has undoubtedly brought huge impacts and challenges to the Android and iOS systems, and has also brought new opportunities and changes to the global smart device market. The advantage of the HarmonyOS system lies in its distributed and cross-platform characteristics, which can break down the barriers between devices, realize seamless collaboration and intelligent interconnection between devices, and provide users with a more convenient and rich experience.
The potential of the HarmonyOS system lies in its open and innovative concept, which can attract more partners and developers to jointly build a diversified and ecological platform to provide users with more choices and possibilities. The future of the HarmonyOS system lies in its integration and application with 5G, AI, IoT and other technologies, which can explore more scenarios and needs, and provide users with more value and services.
The goal of the HarmonyOS system is to become an operating system that connects everything, provides unified standards and solutions for smart devices around the world, and provides users around the world with a better way of living and working. The vision of HarmonyOS is to become a future-leading operating system, contributing to and promoting global technological innovation and social progress.
The HarmonyOS system is Huawei's self-help and breakthrough in the crisis, Huawei's cooperation and expansion in opportunities, and Huawei's challenges and opportunities in the future. The development speed of the HarmonyOS system is amazing, the development potential of the HarmonyOS system is exciting, the development results of the HarmonyOS system are admirable, and the development prospects of the HarmonyOS system are exciting.
The HarmonyOS system is not only Huawei's independent innovation, but also China's technological rise, and the global technological revolution. HarmonyOS has broken the duopoly of Android and iOS, and has become a strong competitor and partner, providing a more open and diverse choice for users and developers around the world.
The HarmonyOS system has also shown its charm and strength, attracting the support and participation of many manufacturers, brands, universities and institutions at home and abroad, forming a large and active ecosystem. HarmonyOS will continue to explore and innovate, integrate and apply technologies such as 5G, AI, and IoT to bring more possibilities and value to smart devices around the world, and bring better experience and services to users around the world.
The goal of the HarmonyOS system is to connect all things, the vision of the HarmonyOS system is to lead the future, and the mission of the HarmonyOS system is to promote the progress of science and technology and society. The HarmonyOS system is not only an operating system, but also a symbol of the times!
