Android and iOS are currently the two most important mobile phone operating systems in the world. Due to its openness and wide device compatibility, Android has become the system of choice for most mobile phone manufacturers around the world. iOS, on the other hand, has won a large number of loyal users with its unique user experience and highly integrated software and hardware ecosystem.
The HarmonyOS system is the latest achievement of the operating system independently developed by Huawei. On September 10, 2020, Huawei held a developer conference and officially launched HarmonyOS 20 system, and announced to provide developers with a complete distributed device and application development ecosystem. HarmonyOS 2System 0 is the first distributed operating system truly built for the all-scenario era, supporting cross-device collaboration, large and small screen interaction, extremely fast network configuration, adaptive UX, visual and speakable AI-enabled voice interaction, and open source for developers.
The Android system is based on open source**, with a rich application ecosystem and a high degree of customizability. iOS is known for its closure and stability, providing a smooth and secure user experience. In terms of performance, iOS is known for its excellent hardware integration capabilities and optimization strategies, while Android is quite different due to its openness and diversity.
The HarmonyOS system adopts a distributed architecture to achieve seamless connection across platforms and devices, and is suitable for the Internet of Things, smart home and other fields. The number of lines of the Hongmeng system is only 4.6 million lines, and the Android system is 15.25 million lines, which means that the number of lines of the Hongmeng system is less than one-third of the Android platform, and it is inevitable that the system will be smoother. The volume ratio of the installation package of the HarmonyOS system is less than 60% of that of Android, and it can be used across platforms, one operating system can play mobile phones, tablets and computers, and the technology is more advanced than Android.
With its openness and wide range of device compatibility, Android has the world's richest application ecosystem. iOS guarantees the quality and security of apps through strict audits and high-quality app stores.
The HarmonyOS system faces great challenges in ecological construction, but it gradually enriches the application ecology through active partnerships, and focuses on the integration of the Internet of Things, smart home and other fields. Combined with the development trend of the mobile ecosystem, the HarmonyOS system proposes three major technical concepts: one-time development and multi-terminal deployment, free flow of separable and mergeable devices, and unified ecological native intelligence.
With the development of the digital age, user privacy and data security are becoming more and more concerning. iOS provides high privacy protection and data security with closed and strict data management policies. Due to its openness and diversity, Android has certain security risks. As a latecomer, HarmonyOS has made efforts in privacy protection and data security, but it still needs to face challenges.
In addition to traditional analysis, we can also look at it from the perspectives of sustainable development, globalization, etc. For example, the HarmonyOS system focuses on resource conservation and environmental protection in its design and R&D, which helps to promote sustainable development. From a global perspective, the global promotion of the HarmonyOS system will enhance China's influence in the global technology field. In specific cases, the HarmonyOS system enables a smarter and more convenient smart home experience, while Android and iOS need to work with device manufacturers.
The HarmonyOS system, Android and iOS have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the HarmonyOS system, as a latecomer, still needs to be continuously developed and improved. We look forward to its progress together with Android and iOS in competition and cooperation, and bring users a better and more convenient digital life experience." At the same time, we also look forward to the emergence of more innovative operating systems to promote the development and progress of the global technology industry. Hotspot Engine Program
