On April 17, Xu Zhijun, Huawei's vice chairman and rotating chairman, admitted at the Huawei analyst conference that HarmonyOS's ecosystem construction is "indeed very challenging". He revealed that he hopes that through 2024, 5,000 applications that are used on smartphones for more than 99% of the time in the Chinese market will be fully migrated to the HarmonyOS native operating system, so as to truly realize the unification of the operating system and application ecology. More than 4,000 applications have confirmed migration plans, and less than 1,000 applications are in the process of being communicated.
Xu Zhijun said, "We expect that when the Mate70 is sold this year, it will be able to bring 'pureblood' Hongmeng to the market, which is also the goal we are working towards." ”
In 2024 and the next five years, Huawei will make strong strategic investments in the development of the ecosystem, and will drive, promote, and drive the development of the terminal industry and the computing industry through the development of the ecosystem.
HarmonyOS is Huawei's self-developed operating system, HarmonyOS NEXT HarmonyOS Galaxy Edition is based on the HarmonyOS kernel, no longer relying on Linux or Unix kernel like Android and iOS and other systems, and the APP applications developed based on Android will no longer be compatible in the future, and are called "pure-blooded HarmonyOS".
At the beginning of this year, HarmonyOS NEXT was fully open for applications from developers. The developer beta is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2024. According to industry insiders, the HarmonyOS system has reduced about 40% of redundant code by removing Android code, improving the smoothness and energy efficiency of the system.
Zhou Hongyi, chairman of 360, said that there are many rich companies in the world, but there are not many companies that have the ability to make real operating systems. At present, most of the world's operating systems, including Android and iOS, are based on Linux or Unix kernels, while HarmonyOS is based on HarmonyOS kernels. He called on everyone to join the HarmonyOS ecosystem.
The first domestic smartphone operating system, HarmonyOS 2.0, was officially launched
On June 2, 2021, Huawei released the HarmonyOS 2.0 system, which can cover mobile terminals such as mobile phones, and since then, the mobile phone system independently developed by the mainland has been officially put into use, which not only makes Huawei stand out among many smartphone manufacturers, but also breaks the barriers of foreign monopoly on mainland smartphone systems, which is an important step in the development of mainland smartphone products.
HarmonyOS 2.0 is the fifth largest operating system in the world
HarmonyOS 2.0 will be the fifth largest mobile operating system after Windows Phone, IOS OS, Android OS in the United States and Blackberry OS in Canada. Windows Phone and Blackberry OS in Canada have few choices due to their own system defects. Therefore, the world's three main mobile phone operating systems are IOS operating system, Android operating system and HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system.
Wu Hequan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that the development momentum of Hongmeng's native application ecology is good. Ecological construction is a key to the maturity of Hongmeng, and it is also a breakthrough for domestic operating systems to change the global market pattern.
With the development of the native HarmonyOS ecosystem, more and more listed companies have launched in-depth cooperation with Huawei in the development and compatibility of HarmonyOS NEXT native applications, and continue to expand their business and territory.
