As we all know, due to some force majeure reasons, Huawei's consumer business has been greatly impacted. Huawei, which was originally able to break the wrist with Apple and Samsung, has caused difficult production of the Mate and P series because of chip problems, and the lack of 5G has also greatly reduced Huawei's competitiveness. For a time, domestic high-end mobile phones have lost their top pillars, and Apple is naturally the beneficiary of this event, and the sales of more than one million iPhones prove all this.
Reinvented and monopolized
On July 27, harmonyOS 3.0 was released.
Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of terminal BG, and CEO of smart car solution BU, revealed at the press conference that as of now, the number of Huawei devices equipped with HarmonyOS 2 has exceeded 300 million, and the shipment of HarmonyOS Connect products has exceeded 170 million. HarmonyOS 3.0 will launch a scale upgrade in September.
At that time, the emergence of the Hongmeng system made people see Huawei's efforts to fight back in the face of the US blockade, and also made people look forward to the rise of domestic operating systems in the smart device market.
But the truth is that from the first appearance of the Hongmeng system to now, there are endless doubts about its "Android shell". This version of the update released such a signal: HarmonyOS 3.0 completely eliminated the Android open source code in the underlying development structure, and completed the cutting with the Android system.
How has this operating system, which has been pinned high hopes, developed, and can it already face many doubts? Help the mainland information industry break the status quo of "lack of core and little soul"? Let's take a closer look.
Want to break the Android Apple ecological monopoly
HarmonyOS 3 brings super desktop functions to the car machine, the mobile phone application will automatically synchronize to the car machine, will also support parallel vision and other functions, the application can also directly call the camera inside the car, outside the camera for video recording, etc., in simple terms, to further solve the intelligent terminal application ecological problem. And based on the seamless flow of Hongmeng 3.0, the on-board systems supported by the focus will also play a more intelligent interconnection role.
In terms of function, Hongmeng 3.0 has made great breakthroughs in the logic interaction, image optimization, and power consumption control at the bottom of the system. Compared with 2.0, Hongmeng 3.0 system is streamlined, smaller and more functional.
For the release of this system, many practitioners in the circle are very excited, because the biggest breakthrough is to achieve a real sense of autonomy and controllability.
Huawei insiders revealed to the Securities Daily reporter that Hongmeng 3.0 has reduced the use of open source software developed independently in the underlying construction, which means that Hongmeng is expected to completely break the monopoly of foreign ecosystems.
"Hongmeng system is gradually going global, and is strengthening the establishment of capital with Android and iOS, the advent of Hongmeng 3.0 means that the solution of the 'less soul' problem is further." Insiders said.
"As a nascent mobile phone operating system, Hongmeng System basically completed the first stage of the task, but there is still a gap from the world's top operating system. Whether the Hongmeng system can form a strategic advantage depends on the actual combat situation of Hongmeng 3.0. Chen Jia, a researcher at the Institute of International Monetary Studies at Chinese Min University, said.
In the view of Zhang Xiaorong, an expert of the Chinese Engineering Intelligence Society, at present, the Hongmeng system has made progress in many aspects such as end users and ecological interconnection, but the players in the Hongmeng ecology still need to be expanded, the open source Hongmeng still needs to be expanded, and more industry applications still need to appear.
Huawei Pay will expand with the help of Hongmeng 3.0 to consolidate the application of payment services in the Huawei ecosystem, so that the synergy between Huawei's various services will increase.
