Do you remember what I talked about a few days ago, and the pure-blood Hongmeng is going to start speeding up?
On the 15th, Huawei officially opened the recruitment of HarmonyOS NEXT developer preview.
And this version is the long-awaited "pure-blooded Hongmeng".
The Android code is completely eliminated, and only the HarmonyOS native App can be run.
The HarmonyOS NEXT Developer Preview is the first batch of models to be adapted to the test.
Currently, there are only Huawei Mate 60 series and Mate X5 series.
Priority is given to adapting to its own Kirin 9000S, there is nothing wrong with it.
But at the same time, there are bound to be a lot of questions.
Born from the ground up as a "pureblood" software ecosystem, HarmonyOS NEXT.
What does it look like, and does it have a Chinese name?
What's new compared to today's Harmony OS 4?
What is the progress of adaptation of mainstream apps, and when can it meet the needs of users in various daily scenarios?
on these issues.
In fact, Huawei responded in detail in yesterday's "Harmony Ecosystem Thousand Sails Launching Ceremony".
Without further ado, Brother Ji will take a look at the key points that everyone is more concerned about.
The first is the naming of the HarmonyOS NEXT Developer Preview.
Huawei gave it a very memorable Chinese name -
Hongmeng Galaxy Edition
Since it is "a thousand sails set sail", you can't be in a hurry.
Judging from Huawei's officially announced release plan.
The current HarmonyOS Galaxy Edition is still in the developer preview stage, and only a small number of developers can experience and test it.
Starting from the second quarter, the HarmonyOS Galaxy version will be pushed to the beta version.
Wait until the fourth quarter to release a more widely applicable commercial version.
This wave is really one step at a time.
It is estimated that everyone is also very curious about what the completely self-developed Hongmeng Galaxy version looks like.
Although Huawei did not show off the system interface at the "Thousand Sails Set Sail" ceremony.
But after the ceremony, Huawei still couldn't hold back and sent a promotional video.
In addition to revealing the new features of the system.
We can get a glimpse of the interface design of the Hongmeng Galaxy version.
On the Hongmeng Galaxy Edition, the main design concepts are three.
They are spatial, vivid colors and immersion.
How does the sense of space be reflected?
First of all, the layout of the Huawei App Store has changed from the conventional arrangement to the form of card + text.
相比于HarmonyOS 4。
The new button layout in the Control Center is also more intuitive.
There are also many Gauss blurs that are liked by friends, and they are also arranged.
As for the feature of "vivid color", Huawei has actually started to do it with HarmonyOS 4.
On the Hongmeng Galaxy Edition, the color expression goes one step further.
For example, the interface buttons of many system apps are displayed in more vivid and vivid colors.
It's much more recognizable than the gray buttons on HarmonyOS 4.
As for immersion, this one should be the best to understand.
As long as the system's animations and animations conform to the physical world and operational intuition, then the immersion will come.
However, the video shows the immersion feeling, and there is only one scene in the weather app.
For example, when the sky is clear, the glare emitted by the sun will move.
When it snows, the weather interface will also drift and the weather number will also have snow overhead.
At the end of the video, the homepage display of the three major devices of mobile phones, tablets and folding screens equipped with the Hongmeng Galaxy version.
The overall interface design and setting layout have not been greatly changed.
It is based on HarmonyOS 4 to further optimize.
So don't worry, after upgrading to the Hongmeng Galaxy version in the future, you will be at a loss.
Of course, these are just superficial new features.
On the more critical core, the Hongmeng Galaxy Edition also has six major features.
They are-
Native refinement, native ease of use, native smoothness, native security, native intelligence, and native interconnection.
Brother Ji focuses on native security and native intelligence, these two parts.
In terms of system security, Android is still dominated by "permission management".
For example, if we want to send an image on the app, we have to authorize the app to access our library.
If the App is broken, it can see all the photo albums on our mobile phones...
But on the Hongmeng Galaxy version, this matter is refined to specific data.
Whichever image you want to share, the app will only see which image.
The main thing is one-to-one single defense.
Native intelligence is closely related to Huawei's Pangu model.
On HarmonyOS 4, Huawei arranged a large model for Xiaoyi.
For example, copywriting image generation, natural dialogue, and image recognition are all at your fingertips.
In this way, Xiaoyi's voice assistant is much smarter.
But if the third-party HarmonyOS native App also wants to strengthen its own functions through a large model, what should it do?
Huawei's solution is as follows:
Split some of the capabilities of the large model into ready-made modules, so that the App can call them at will.
For example, the Xiaohongshu Hongmeng version has the AI cutout module of the Pangu large model built into the App.
In this way, Xiaohongshu has the same AI cutout capabilities as HarmonyOS 4.
From this point of view.
Brother Ji is looking forward to it, and the follow-up Hongmeng native App will have a functional leap with the blessing of the large model.
Of course, when it comes to application, it is inevitable to talk about adaptation progress.
Now there are more than 200 native apps in the first batch of HarmonyOS Galaxy Edition.
The number is really not much, but there are many mainstream apps that are involved.
For example, Alipay, JD.com, Meituan and Bilibili, etc., are all engaged in the original version of Hongmeng.
Huawei also mentioned at yesterday's launch ceremony that there are native apps in many areas.
This includes life, mobility, finance, socializing, productivity, music, and gaming.
Huawei even said that by the end of this year, the number of HarmonyOS native apps will exceed 5,000.
I like a quote from my friends: Huh?
Brother Ji also knew that the Hongmeng ecosystem would speed up, but he didn't expect it to speed up so hard...
Judging by the situation at this stage.
Huawei attaches great importance to the HarmonyOS ecosystem, and software vendors are also highly motivated to develop the native version of HarmonyOS.
Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about application adaptation.
And I think that the experience of HarmonyOS native apps will most likely be better than Android apps.
Everyone understands the domestic Android ecological situation.
Many app developers do not follow the norms, and in order to stay alive, they also engage in rogue operations such as chain launch and association launch.
Even if the manufacturer rolls up to 24GB of storage, the App is opened too much, and it is still difficult to escape the frame drop.
In stark contrast.
HarmonyOS has a more stringent and detailed set of development specifications.
On the official website of the HarmonyOS NEXT Developer Preview, you can see this "HarmonyOS Ecosystem Application Development White Paper".
It mentions that the performance of the app is very important.
It also provides tools to help developers optimize application smoothness and power consumption.
Huawei also has a process to verify whether the final application quality is qualified or not.
The detection dimensions are mainly divided into:
Design specifications, compatibility, performance, and stability, these four parts.
If you apply every aspect, it does not meet the specifications of the white paper.
I'm sorry, I can't make it to the app store.
On the whole, Huawei's development specifications for HarmonyOS native applications are quite strict.
As a result, it is a native app that is smooth and has low performance usage.
But then again.
鸿蒙的终极目标，还是统一HarmonyOS和OpenHarmony的生态。
Let developers make HarmonyOS native applications that can be used on both platforms.
In addition to the mobile phones we are familiar with.
For example, Huawei watches, tablets and smart homes, etc., have long been equipped with the HarmonyOS system.
The number of ecological devices in Hongmeng has also quietly increased from 700 million+ last year to 800 million+.
The number of devices in the HarmonyOS ecosystem, application experience, and manufacturers' enthusiasm for development are no longer a problem.
The so-called everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Now what we have to wait for is the rapid expansion of the number of HarmonyOS native applications.
