Smartphones have become an indispensable part of people's lives, and the mobile phone operating system is regarded as the soul of the mobile phone, but the underlying core is all controlled by Western countries, and the situation is very passive for China.
At the beginning, Huawei, like other mobile phone manufacturers, used Google's open-source Android system, although Huawei built its own EMUI system on this basis, but its underlying logic is still Android.
This situation puts Huawei at risk of Google modifying or restricting the support of certain features, and Huawei will be helpless if it happens.
Because of this, after the United States sanctioned Huawei, Google interrupted Huawei's technical support and GMS services.
Google's actions have been severely affected as a result of the failure of Huawei phones to work properly in Western countries.
Against this background, Huawei decided:Get rid of dependence on Google, accelerate the independent research and development of the HarmonyOS operating system, and strive to gain a greater voice.
The HarmonyOS system was initially just a seed sown by Huawei, but the US sanctions have undoubtedly become a catalyst for the accelerated germination of this seed.
After the official commercial use of HarmonyOS 2, its development focus quickly shifted to scale expansion, and it was rapidly promoted in various fields with lightning speed.
Since its official release in August 2019, Huawei's HarmonyOS has gone through more than four years of development, from the first glide to sweeping all directionsToday, the number of devices equipped with the HarmonyOS system has exceeded 800 million.
As a multi-terminal operating system, the HarmonyOS system has been widely used in mobile phones, tablets, smart wearables, smart homes and other fields, realizing a high degree of collaboration and seamless connection between devices, and initially creating an ecological scale.
At the recent Huawei Pocket 2 press conference, Yu Chengdong announced the latest achievements of HarmonyOS.
Yu Chengdong saidAt present, the number of devices that support the installation of HarmonyOS has increased to 137This marks the wide application and acceptance of the HarmonyOS system.
Yu Chengdong also emphasized that through continuous upgrading and optimization,HarmonyOS has achieved a significant improvement in fluency, reaching a 20% increase, while the battery life has been further optimized, increasing by 30 minutes.
More critically,HarmonyOS will also undergo a major version upgrade this fall, and the performance is expected to increase by 30% againThe upgraded version of this time is HarmonyOS Next HarmonyOS Galaxy Edition, also known as the outside world"Pure-blooded Hongmeng".
It is understood that the characteristics of pure-blooded Hongmeng lie in its full-stack self-developed baseRemoved the bottom layer of Android**,It no longer supports opening Android system applications,Only supports HarmonyOS kernel and HarmonyOS system applications。
This decision shows Huawei's strong pursuit of the autonomy of the HarmonyOS system, and through the self-developed full-stack base, the HarmonyOS system is more independent and pure, which also means that users will get a more unique and efficient operation experience on the new HarmonyOS system.
At the developer conference in September last year, Huawei launched the developer preview version of HarmonyOS Next, kicking off the construction of the HarmonyOS ecosystem.
In just half a year, the HarmonyOS ecosystem has gathered leading applications in navigation, news, tools, tourism, finance, convenient life, food, games and other fields, forming a huge native application territory.
Previously, Huawei's official convenience said,The first batch of 200+ HarmonyOS native applications are being fully acceleratedThe HarmonyOS native application landscape has basically taken shape.
By 2024, Huawei's goal is:Work with partners to create 5,000 "pure-blooded" HarmonyOS native applications.
Looking to the future, Huawei's goal is:Expand the scale of HarmonyOS native applications to 50,000 or 500,000Form a larger and more complete HarmonyOS ecosystem.
The construction of this ecosystem is not only a new experience for users, but also a huge opportunity for developers.
There is no doubt that with the gradual increase in the user base of the HarmonyOS system, developers have more room for innovation and market opportunities on this platform.
This also lays a more solid foundation for the future development of the HarmonyOS system, pushing it to a higher peak of competition with iOS and Android.
Now third-party institutions have further raised their expectations for HarmonyOS and analysts believe that Android and iOS will continue to maintain their dual positions in the world in 2024But in the Chinese market, HarmonyOS will be the second largest smartphone operating system.
In other words, HarmonyOS in the Chinese market will overtake iOS and become the second largest smartphone operating system.
This ** also highlights the strong competitiveness of Hongmeng in the local marketHuawei is expected to reshuffle China's smartphone operating system market in the future, seize the share of Apple and Android manufacturers, and achieve a solid recovery.
Overall, with the continuous efforts of Huawei and its partners in ecological construction, HarmonyOS is expected to gain a larger share in the global market and become an influential domestic operating system.
The future development prospects of HarmonyOS are promising, but there is still a need to deal with fierce market competition and an uncertain external environment. What do you think about this, welcome to comment, like, and share. Digital Chinese New Year Challenge
