Recently, a news appeared on the Internet that Huawei's HarmonyOS system will no longer be compatible with Android from 2024. This news has attracted widespread attention and discussion. Huawei responded to this and revealed some plans and strategies for the future development of the HarmonyOS system.
First of all, Huawei made it clear that it has no plans to launch the use of HarmonyOS in overseas markets. This means that Huawei's development strategy in overseas markets will still rely on the EMUI version of Huawei phones, and will not suddenly switch to the HarmonyOS system. For the domestic market, Huawei did not respond positively to whether it will fully switch to the HarmonyOS system. This vague statement has sparked speculation and antiquity.
In fact, Huawei's HarmonyOS system adopts AOSP (Android Open Source Project)**, which is common and open source with Android, so that developers do not need too much migration cost when developing, and at the same time, it can also ensure the compatibility and stability of users in the process of use. This design gives the HarmonyOS system an advantage over Android at the beginning of its existence.
At the HarmonyOS Developer Conference in August this year, Huawei has low-key displayed the HarmonyOS Harmoney Next developer version. In this version, AOSP** was directly cut, and only the application of the HarmonyOS kernel and HarmonyOS system was supported. This move shows that Huawei is ready to promote the HarmonyOS system in the domestic market independently of Android. This important shift means that Huawei is shifting its focus to the domestic market and is determined to move away from its dependence on the Android ecosystem.
However, there are still many unknowns about whether the HarmonyOS system can sit firmly on the third largest operating system in the world after Apple iOS and Android, and whether it can achieve the goal of "living with quality". On the one hand, the HarmonyOS system needs to get more support and cooperation from developers to enrich the application ecosystem. This requires Huawei to actively invest resources and efforts in the developer community to attract more developers to join the HarmonyOS ecosystem. On the other hand, the HarmonyOS system also needs to be continuously optimized and improved in terms of user experience and performance to attract more users. This requires Huawei to continuously improve its technology and services to increase user satisfaction and loyalty.
In addition, Huawei also needs to face the problem of the acceptance and recognition of the HarmonyOS system in the global market. Although Huawei has shifted its focus to the domestic market after being blocked in overseas markets, the HarmonyOS system still needs to be more widely recognized and supported on a global scale in order to become the world's third largest operating system in the true sense. This requires Huawei to strengthen brand promotion and marketing around the world to increase the visibility and influence of the HarmonyOS system.
To sum up, Huawei's HarmonyOS system will face many challenges and opportunities in the coming years. In the domestic market, the HarmonyOS system is expected to become one of the mainstream operating systems, but it still needs long-term efforts and accumulation in the world to gain more recognition and support from users. At the same time, Huawei needs to continue to strengthen its investment in technology R&D and innovation to ensure its leading position and sustainable competitiveness in the operating system field.
