What are the phone operating systems you know? If you had asked you a few years ago, you might have said iOS and Android, but if you had asked you now, you would have said iOS, Android, and Hongmeng.
In the past decade, the mobile phone operating system has always been Android and iOS equally divided, and domestic mobile phone manufacturers basically use the Android system. Originally, everyone thought that Android was an open source system, and Android would not be stuck in the neck.
But in May 2019, the storm suddenly changed, Google unilaterally stopped Google services on Huawei mobile phones, and domestic mobile phone manufacturers woke up like a dream, realizing that if they want to grasp the right to speak in the field of smart phones, they must have their own operating system, and aspire to create our own operating system.
In August 2019, the Hongmeng system was released, and Chinese finally has a self-developed mobile phone operating system. But the reality is very helpless, now Hongmeng 3.0 is about to be released, in addition to Huawei, but so far no domestic mobile phone manufacturers have clearly stated that they will use the Hongmeng system.
Xiaomi executive Pan Jiutang once said that if Huawei is willing to open up the Hongmeng system, Xiaomi will support the Hongmeng system. However, now that the Hongmeng system is open source, Xiaomi is silent.
Even the former sub-brand Honor has said it will give priority to Android systems. Why are domestic mobile phone manufacturers reluctant to support our own operating system?
One of the important reasons is that Huawei is worried about using the Hongmeng system as a handle to control them. In order to reduce the doubts of friends, Huawei made it clear at the press conference of Hongmeng System 2.0 that it will donate the core code of Hongmeng System.
Then everyone seems to be reluctant to use the Hongmeng system, preferring to use the Android system. Isn't there a problem with Android that you don't have to worry about getting stuck in the neck?
Compared with the indifference of mobile phone manufacturers, home appliance manufacturers and Internet companies are more enthusiastic about the Hongmeng system, and they have developed intelligent applications around Hongmeng to help home appliances truly achieve intelligence. In terms of software ecology, Hongmeng has also been supported, and the commonly used APP has basically launched the Hongmeng version.
Although the software ecology of the Hongmeng system is still in the stage of infant toddler, some software developers evaluate the Hongmeng system like this: what the Android system can do, the Hongmeng system can also do, but what the Hongmeng system can do, the Android system may not be able to do!
I also hope that those friends who are not willing to use the Hongmeng system can understand a truth, and do not wait until the whip is drawn on their bodies to know the pain.
Why is Apple's system called iOS, Huawei's system is called harmonyOS, but Samsung's system can only be called OneUI? Because the OS and the UI are not the same.
OS is an abbreviation for operationsystem, which is the body of the house. And the UI is just a user interface (userinterface), which can only be regarded as the decoration of the house, so it must be a more bullish OS!
Then we have Flyme OS, Color OS, Origin OS, do you suddenly think that our domestic brands are really cattle?
In fact, it is not, although some Android systems call themselves OS, but in fact, they are only minor repairs on the basis of the house, and the reconstruction is very small. As long as the kernel of the system is slightly changed or optimized, it can be brazenly called the OS.
As for whether there is a system kernel tuning, whether there is a big effort in memory management and power management, this depends on the conscience of mobile phone manufacturers.
Speaking of which, I have to mention a brand, that is, Xiaomi. Although MIUI 13 has worked the kernel of the operating system, Xiaomi still calls itself UI, do you think Xiaomi is still quite modest?
Then you are very wrong, do you feel that Xiaomi is like a big game in the next game, neither supports Hongmeng, nor calls itself OS, you say that Xiaomi is secretly engaged in self-developed systems?
