High-end technology, if there is no chip, it is equivalent to no most important soul, in terms of smart phones, if there is no operating system, it is equivalent to no main backbone, the importance of the operating system can be seen, at present, in the international smartphone operating system market, has always been Google Android and Apple iOS seven or three points.
However, in the past two years, this situation has been broken, not only Google Android and Apple iOS have each other, but also rushed in a dark horse, this dark horse is Hongmeng, but also got a share of the market cake of Google Android. So, why can Android, which was once in the smart phone operating system, not be able to retain the "heart" of users, and in the coming days, does Huawei Hongmeng hope to further seize more market share?
A piece of data came out, and The Android share may be preempted by Huawei
On April 24, 2022, according to the latest data released by the international research companyStockApps, in January this year, the Android system accounted for 69.74% of the global operating system market share, although such an achievement is also very good, but you know, in 2018, Google Android's market share is still 77.32%, a total decline of 9.8%.
Originally, the share of Android declined nothing, but the share of Apple's iOS has risen, from 19.4% in 2018 to 25.49% today, which is very embarrassing, and almost hammered a group of people who can't do one person. Dare to love Google Android users have been robbed by Apple? It's not.
Because if we calculate carefully, we can find that the market share of Android and iOS adds up to 95.23%, so where does the remaining 4.77% share go? This part of the remaining market share is basically occupied by Huawei's Hongmeng system. So, why is the Android system losing market share today?
What exactly makes users "change their minds"?
According to the relevant experts of the international research companyStockApps, the reason why the Android system will appear in this situation, the intensification of competition in the operating system field is the reason for the loss of Android market share. Does that make sense? It makes some sense that Symbian, a smartphone operating system, was the dominant smartphone operating system from 2005 to 2010. In India, there is also a strong rise of a locally produced operating system called Kai OS. Nowadays, the smartphone operation market is as strong as the cloud, and it is normal that the market share of the Android system will be different from the past.
Why users will "change their minds", the most authoritative explanation is actually to the parties to come forward, on overseas social platforms, there are users who have transferred from Android to iOS: "The fragmentation of the Android system has led to slow system updates, which in turn has led to the aging of the response of functional and security patches." ”
Android itself is fragmented, do you know? The Android system itself is also aware, so when the Android system 8.0 was launched, the Android system also launched Project Treble, planning to decouple the driver and the system version, although to a certain extent, it did solve the problem of fragmentation, but it also increased the difficulty of mobile phone manufacturers to update the system, making the update speed of the Android system gradually decline from the flagship machine to the thousand yuan machine. The Android system does not solve the problem thoroughly, and it is reasonable that Android users will change their minds.
In short, in the field of operating system, there are indeed many Android users' change of heart, which has created the decline in the market share of the Android system today, in the case of Huawei Hongmeng's strong entry, will it impact the market position of Google Android?
Will it impact Google Android's market position?
According to relevant foreign media reports, on January 4, 2022, Google CEO Pichai said that since May 2014, Google's Android system has added 400 million new users, and the total number of active users has reached 1.4 billion. But what about Huawei Hongmeng? In September last year, Huawei officially announced that as of September 22, 2021, Huawei Hongmeng had more than 120 million active users.
Look, active users are not in a level at all, even if they have seized a little market share of Google Android now, it is not so easy to impact the market position of Google Android.
Separately, on April 4 of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the software code used by Google was built on the Android operating system that runs on most smartphones around the world, and did not violate federal copyright law. A decade of copyright disputes has finally come to an end.
The end of this time confirmed the innocence of Google, when Google just cleared the dust on its body, now the Hongmeng system occupies a lost market share, how will it impact the market position of Google Android?
In short, Huawei's Hongmeng system wants to impact Google's market position, which seems unlikely at present, but what if we look at it with the perspective of development? In the coming days, does Huawei Hongmeng hope to further seize more market share?
Does Huawei Hongmeng hope to further seize more market share?
In the days to come. Huawei Hongmeng actually still hopes to further seize more market share. First of all, the development of Huawei Hongmeng can be said to be getting better and better, on March 31 this year, Huawei publicly announced that Huawei's self-developed all-scenario AI framework Ascend MindSpore has been open source for two years, and this year will be integrated into the ecology of Hongmeng and Euler, as a built-in AI engine, the end, edge, cloud truly integrated.
It can be seen from Huawei's action that in the coming days, the development of Huawei Hongmeng will be better and better, more and more perfect, under such a development trend, it may not be impossible to further seize more market share.
In addition, on March 4 and March 5 this year, Huawei signed 5G cooperation agreements with Brazil and Turkey, and Huawei 5G is gradually achieving global breakthroughs. Huawei's strong 5G strength may not help improve the recognition of Huawei technologies in the global market. Although Hongmeng is open source, it still has the label of Huawei. With Huawei's global recognition, there may not be no hope of further seizing more market share.
summary
A piece of data came out, once the first in the operating system market, Android, but there was a situation where market share was robbed, especially Huawei, a strong entry broke the three or seven points of Android and iOS. It is expected that in the coming days, Huawei Hongmeng can continue to work hard and strive to become the world's third largest operating system as soon as possible.
