On December 15, 2023, the China Game Industry Annual Conference was held in Guangzhou, attracting the attention of many game industries. Wu Hao, CEO of Huawei Interactive Media Group and President of Huawei Device Cloud Service Interactive Media BU, attended the event and delivered a speech.
Wu Hao revealed that Huawei has launched comprehensive cooperation with developers and partners in 18 fields, including games, social communication, travel navigation, business office, travel and accommodation, etc., to carry out comprehensive cooperation with HarmonyOS native applications. He also announced that at present, the number of devices in the HarmonyOS ecosystem has exceeded 700 million.
In the field of games, today NetEase, CMGE and other 19 game partners announced that 10 games such as "I Am a Big Boss", "Shenhuo Continent" and "Behemoth Battlefield" have completed the development of HarmonyOS native games, and 9 games such as "Sword and Fairy World", "Douluo Continent: Shrek Academy" and "Dream Garden" have also started the development of HarmonyOS native games.
As more and more leading app manufacturers launch HarmonyOS native application development, Huawei's HarmonyOS development talents have become in short supply. This also means that the time for the HarmonyOS system to become independent is getting closer and closer. Previously, a number of domestic Internet companies have released positions related to HarmonyOS system development, including Sina, NetEase, Meituan, Qunar, Toutiao, Kingsoft and other manufacturers, involving software research and development, mobile research and development, embedded development and other fields.
According to data released by Counterpoint, as of the first quarter of 2023, Huawei's self-developed HarmonyOS system has won 8% of China's market share, followed by Apple iOS, with a market share of about 20%, and Google's Android system, accounting for about 72%.
- HarmonyOS 2.0 mobile phone operating system may help Huawei seize more markets
According to IDC data, Huawei is currently one of the leading mobile phone manufacturers in mainland China, with a shipment market share of 43.2% in the first three quarters of 2020. With the launch of the HarmonyOS 2.0 mobile phone operating system, Huawei is expected to overcome the restrictions of the United States in the field of mobile phone operating systems, and Huawei's market share of mobile phones is expected to further increase in the future. It is estimated that by 2025, the share of the HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system in the mainland mobile phone operating system market will reach about 6.72%.
- HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system is better than Android operating system
At present, the HarmonyOS 2.0 system is mainly divided into application layer, framework layer, system service layer and kernel layer. Among them, the core capabilities of the HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system lie in the framework layer and the system service layer, and the specific HarmonyOS 2.0 main components are as follows:
Among the world's five major smartphone operating systems, Windows Phone and Blackberry OS have declined, the iOS operating system is only used in Apple mobile phones, and only the Android operating system and HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system have greater competition.
As a self-developed operating system, Huawei's HarmonyOS system has been making continuous achievements and showing great potential. With the continuous increase of market share, the HarmonyOS system is expected to become an important competitive force in the Chinese and even global markets in the future, bringing users a richer, more convenient and intelligent application experience.
