"It's big news!The leverage was leveraged, and Huawei finally won this big gamble!"This seems to be the most sensational headline of 2023. The focus of the topic is nothing else, it is Huawei's HarmonyOS system. As we all know, in order to cope with the system blockade on the United States, Huawei launched its own HarmonyOS system with a momentum that does not admit defeat. After three years of hard work, the number of users of the HarmonyOS system has exceeded 700 million, proudly ranking among the world's third largest mobile operating systems. Huawei
However, this is just the beginning. Because the software ecology of the HarmonyOS system is not perfect, the dependence on the Android ecosystem is quite high. In order to truly become the trend of the times and even impact the international market, Huawei must build its own application ecosystem. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, Yu Chengdong announced a bold plan in September this year - the HarmonyOS system will be cut from the Android application ecosystem, and the construction of the native application ecosystem will be fully launched.
Users who are familiar with the HarmonyOS system know that in order to cater to the needs of users, the HarmonyOS system has implanted part of the Android system internally**, so users can ** and use Android applications. However, as Huawei begins to cut off the Android ecosystem, the HarmonyOS system will no longer support the installation and use of Android apps. This is undoubtedly a big gamble, and Huawei has to bet on whether domestic companies will follow up and be willing to develop special applications for the HarmonyOS system.
To be honest, it will not be easy for Huawei to win this gamble. Because developing an application for another platform would require a whole new team of developers, the cost of the enterprise would increase dramatically, and many companies may not be willing to invest. Therefore, when Yu Chengdong announced the ecological cut with Android, I did feel a little worried. It's not that I'm worried that Huawei won't succeed, but that other Internet companies aren't adapting fast enough, which may affect the experience of some Huawei users and lead to user churn.
However, the latest news shows that my worries are unwarranted, because the levers have been moved and Huawei has succeeded!According to a report on December 19, at the 2023 Open Source Industry Ecology Conference, Gong Ti, President of Huawei Device BG Software, revealed the latest data: more than 400 partners have started the development of HarmonyOS native applications, covering various fields such as finance, education, transportation, and government affairs, including Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, Pinduoduo and other well-known Internet platforms.
From a more macro perspective, it can almost be said that domestic enterprises of all sizes have invested in the development of HarmonyOS native applications. As soon as the middle of next year, the domestic Hongmeng system will completely bid farewell to the Android ecology and realize the independence of the ecology. Regarding the rise speed of the Hongmeng system, some foreign media have also said: The United States overestimates the situation!The original intention of the system blockade was to defeat Huawei, but instead it gave birth to a powerful new opponent, and this time it was Google's turn to have a headache.
Sometimes I recall that in August 2019, Huawei officially released HarmonyOS 1At the time of the 0 version, many people thought that this was just a "vase system", but Huawei was bluffing, and in the end it was just a gimmick. Until June 2021, HarmonyOS 20 system was released, and the outside world really realized that Huawei was real.
It turns out that Ren Zhengfei didn't say big things: if you want to kill Huawei, you will only make it stronger in the end!The United States may think that it can firmly control Huawei with the two trump cards of systems and chips, but the emergence of the Hongmeng system and the Kirin 9000S chip is a fierce counterattack to the United States, making the Western powers once again deeply realize that the giants of the East must not be bullied!
