HuaweiSelf-developed onesOperating systemHarmonyOS(HarmonyOS) has been in the spotlight since its release in 2019 and has become a potential competitor to Android. Unlike opting for simple compatibility with Android,HarmonyOSChoosing the path of independent research and development contains a series of strategic considerations. This article will start withHarmonyOSThe three dimensions of positioning, ecological layout and overseas strategy focus on analysis,**HarmonyOSThe necessity of choosing self-research and the importance of building an independent ecosystem.
HarmonyOSThe main considerations for choosing an in-house R&D are as follows. First of all, independent research and development can reduce dependence on American technology, because although Android is an open source system, key chips and processes and other technologies are still controlled by the United States, and independent research and development can reduce the risk of technological blockade. Secondly, independent research and development is conducive to better performanceHuaweiIts own innovation ability is based on an independent and controllable architectureHarmonyOSIt can create a differentiation advantage from Android. In addition, compared to Android, it is more focused on mobile phonesHarmonyOSAs unificationOperating systemIt can more flexibly respond to the needs of multi-terminal collaboration. Finally, independent research and development can make:HuaweiTake more autonomyIntellectual Propertyto accumulate more core technologies of unique systemsIntellectual Property
Based on the above judgment,HarmonyOSA gradual development strategy has been developed: first, to:SmartphonesLed by the end, it attracts users through continuous iteration and new functions, accumulates technical capabilities and ecological resources, and then gradually expands to other terminals to build a cross-platform, integrated and innovative platformOperating system
withOperating systemitself compared to ecology for an emerging oneOperating systemis even more critical. iosAnd Android both rely on ecological advantages to gain market recognition, thereforeHarmonyOSIt needs to improve its application ecosystem as soon as possible. Enriching system functions and attracting high-quality applications will effectively improve user stickiness, and more users will attract more developers. By encouraging innovative applications,HarmonyOSIt can be made to distinguish between Android andiosunique advantages. between the user and the developerPositive feedbackIt can form a strong cohesion, and at the same time, the independent and controllable application ecology is conducive to reducing the possibility of being controlled by others in overseas markets.
Currently,HarmonyOSThe ecological development has begun to take shape, including mainstream applications such as appgallery, browser, and **map, which have been launched one after anotherCars, smart wearables and other hardware are deeply integrated to build differentiated scenarios. In the future,HarmonyOSIt will also increase the layout in games, office and other fields, and continuously improve the ecology to meet the challenges from the Android ecosystem. HarmonyOSTo become a strong competitor to Android, ecological construction is crucial. Having a wide range of applications and users motivates users to switch to a new system. In order to achieve this,HuaweiInvest heavily in developmentHarmonyOSapplications, and built billions of scaleHarmonyOSDevelopment ** to encourage developers to join this new ecosystem, this is a marathon ecological construction, but the rewards will also be huge.
For overseas marketsHarmonyOSIt also faces certain dilemmas, including a crisis of trust caused by political factors and the dominance of the Android ecosystem as a competitor. In order to open up the situation,HarmonyOSIt is necessary to break through through independent ecology. First, a well-developed localized application ecosystem can help reduce dependence on Google services, address security concerns, and rebuild trust. Second, rich and integrated applications and services can make up for the monolithicSmartphonesFunctional shortcomings to enhance overall competitiveness. In addition, by using unique scenario applications as a breakthrough point, we can open up the situation in certain vertical fields and rely on related industries to form linkages, such as using the influence and channels of operators and other industry partners to carry out ecological promotion.
HarmonyOSThe necessity and foresight of choosing independent research and development lies in building an independent, open and secure application ecosystemHarmonyOSIt is expected to turn the predicament into an opportunity and open up the situation. This also indicatesHarmonyOSThe necessity of choosing an independent research and development strategy.
Currently,HarmonyOSThe ecological construction is still in its infancy, and there is still a gap compared with the huge Android ecosystem. However,HarmonyOSThe direction of building an independent, closed ecosystem has been clarified, which is the same as:ApplesThe strategy is highly compatible. Through independent technology and rich content,HarmonyOSIt is possible to form a closed-loop system, no longer relying on any external force, and achieve true technological autonomy. This is tooHarmonyOSThe fundamental way to enter overseas markets and break free from the shackles of the U.S. technology ban. OnceHarmonyOSWith enough users and a large number of high-quality applications, it will form an independent ecological platform, and any blocking technology from the outside will be difficult to shake this huge system. Just like todayApplesEcology, it already has a strong ability to recover itself. Although the current ecological construction is still in its early stages, looking forward to the futureHarmonyOSis working hard to build its own ecological Great Wall, and is expected to surpass Android in one thought. HarmonyOSBehind the choice of independent R&D there are multiple considerations such as reducing technology dependence, giving full play to innovation advantages, and adapting to scene integration. By building an open application ecosystem,HarmonyOSIt not only enriches the functions of the system, but also accumulates strength for the next step of gradual expansion and overseas strategy. In the face of a strong Android ecosystem,HarmonyOSIt will take time to test whether it can achieve a breakthrough through independent ecology and expand a broader development space. However, the concept and layout are already beginning to take shape, which is exciting.
