On June 2, Huawei officially launched the official version of HarmonyOS 2.0. Since August 2019, Yu Chengdong announced Huawei's self-developed operating system Hongmeng, and in less than two years, the Hongmeng system has been officially commercialized on a large scale. So, what kind of changes will the commercialization of Hongmeng system bring to the mobile phone system? Compared with Android and ios, what are the advantages of Hongmeng system?

On the 2nd, the cover news reporter interviewed Xiang Ligang, a well-known observer of China Communications and the director of the Information Consumption Alliance. In his view, the Hongmeng system realizes multi-device integration and interoperability, which is a big benefit for Huawei. In addition, the system is fully open source for all developers, reducing development costs and helping hardware manufacturers to truly produce personalized products that meet the differentiated needs of consumers.

"At present, the well-known Windows system on the computer side, the Android and iOS systems common on the mobile phone side, it is difficult to achieve multi-terminal collaboration and interoperability." Xiang Ligang said that Huawei HarmonyOS can be used on computers, smart phones, smart watches, smart homes, and even used on drone devices, which not only facilitates developers and reduces costs, but also can interconnect the capabilities of multiple devices. "Android and ios systems are also trying multi-terminal interoperability, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the two have not yet achieved good systematic integration, and the formal commercialization of Hongmeng is at the forefront of terminal interoperability."

Previously, Wang Chenglu, president of Huawei's consumer business software department and director of the AI and wisdom all-scenario business department, revealed that the total coverage target of Hongmeng operating system this year is 300 million units, of which 200 million are Huawei-branded devices, and another 100 million are third-party branded IoT products. It is foreseeable that the Hongmeng system will gradually become the "standard" of Huawei mobile phones, what kind of impact will this have on other mobile phone manufacturers?

Xiang Ligang believes that it will bring two impacts, on the one hand, in the short term, OPPO, VIVO, Millet and other domestic mobile phone manufacturers will not be able to predict whether the Hongmeng system will be applied, but in the long run, if the Hongmeng system can be the same as the Android system, both to make open source no-fee application, and loaded on huawei mobile phones after the effect is remarkable, then domestic mobile phone manufacturers or will continue to consider the choice of Hongmeng system; on the other hand, the emergence of the Hongmeng system, if in the mobile phone operation and computer, The adaptation and application of smart home and other products are better than other systems, which is bound to bring pressure to other domestic hardware manufacturers, which is a good thing for Huawei.

For the future development of Hongmeng and Android, iOS, Xiang Ligang said that if you look at the Hongmeng operating system now, it is mainly Huawei's stock mobile phones, about 300 million units, to form a larger increment, but also to see when Huawei chips come out. "Once this system is powerful, and in the current domestic and foreign environment, the market opportunity is a variety of smart products, watches, tablets, smart screens, etc., and even smart cars, the imagination will be greater." This has the potential to surpass Apple's iOS, or even android."
