After Hongmeng installed 300 million units, Google had no choice but to announce the decision, foreign media: the end of an era
Google successfully acquired Android and its development team in 2005, and then carried out in-depth development of the Android system, and united a number of smart phone manufacturers and upstream and downstream chip manufacturers to jointly add code for the Android system, and open the Android source code, which is also a historical moment, accompanied by Google's open source for the Android system, greatly reducing the threshold for the development of smart phone manufacturers, so it has also attracted the vast majority of mobile phone manufacturers around the world to join. Helping Google take the lead in the competition with Apple, Microsoft and Nokia, and ultimately promoting Google to become the world's largest mobile operating system supplier.
However, it should be understood that Google's success is due to the open source strategy for Android, not the superiority of the system itself, after all, the Symbian and Windows phones at that time were much better than Android in terms of fluency, but after 2019, Google seems to have forgotten the original intention, first of all, the supply of GMS services for Huawei mobile phones was stopped, and wanted to hinder the development of Huawei mobile phones in overseas business. Huawei helplessly launched the self-developed Hongmeng operating system, and now the Hongmeng system has been developed for three years, according to Huawei's official data, the installed number of Hongmeng systems has now exceeded 300 million units, which also makes Hongmeng the world's third largest mobile operating system.
Huawei's success estimates that Google did not expect it, after all, when Google did Huawei's step, it took five or six years, but Huawei's layout of the Hongmeng system did not stop at the mobile terminal market, because today's Hongmeng system has been successfully applied to tablets, electric vehicles, industrial Internet, home appliances and other fields, and has developed into an all-round player in the field of operating systems.
This is a very big blow to Google, after all, as early as Huawei launched the Hongmeng operating system, Google began to develop Fuchsia OS applied to the multi-terminal market in 2016, and planned to replace Android with Fuchsia OS, but now from the market data, Fuchsia OS's share in the operating system market is very low, but Hongmeng, a latecomer, has achieved the layout of the multi-terminal market in a short period of time. This speed and efficiency estimate has put Google to shame.
In the face of the rapid development of the Hongmeng system, the pressure is also to Google here, if Google does not fight back, let the Hongmeng system grow, then in the future multi-terminal market, Google will fail miserably, if Google counterattacks, there are no more than two programs, one is to quickly complete the ecological construction and development of Fuchsia OS, let Fuchsia OS and Hongmeng fight, and the starting point of Fuchsia OS must start from the mobile end, that is, it will make Fuchsia OS to gradually replace Android, but this process is bound to consume the Android system, if the Fuchsia OS has not yet developed, then this will cause self-harm to Google's system business.
As for the second solution is to develop Android's multi-terminal business, and this point today's Google seems to have begun to move, after Hongmeng announced that the installed capacity exceeded 300 million units, according to the august 28 news reality, Google helplessly announced the decision to launch a cross-device SDK, which means that Android applications run on non-Android mobile phones, tablets, TVs, cars and other devices.
This wave of operations is really confusing, because it seems to mean that Google wants to play the openness of Android to the extreme, even if it is not a system can achieve collaboration and sharing, but even so, if you want to achieve seamless docking like the Hongmeng system, the possibility is very low, because the essence of the Hongmeng system is to let Hongmeng integrate into all things, so that the use of Hongmeng as a terminal, you can achieve seamless docking between devices, and in order to let the Hongmeng system and the Euler system as the underlying support be integrated, Huawei also prepared the Cangjie programming language for Hongmeng and Euler, which can be said that everything is very well prepared, enough to build a perfect cross-device docking platform.
In the face of Google's operation, foreign media also sent comments that Google was forced to be anxious, so began to sword to take the side? If so, it seems to mean that the era of a system belonging to Google is over.
Indeed, if Google can only rely on squeezing the surplus value of Android to face the future multi-terminal and Internet of Everything era, then the face of Google will only be a failure, after all, Android has a natural limitation, that is, the stuttering problem of the macro kernel, which has not been solved from the bottom, so the Android system caton is inevitable, it was also for this reason that Google developed Fuchsia OS, but Google did not create a second glory, Didn't let Fuchsia OS shine.
And the emergence of this situation is no wonder to others, because as early as 2018, Huawei tried to access Fuchsia OS, but then Google's operation allowed Huawei to go out of its own way.
Do you think Google will regret stopping the GMS service on Huawei phones? Do you think Hongmeng system will become the world's largest terminal operating system in the future?
