Huawei Launches China's First Autonomous Mobile Operating System
Huawei Technologies Co has launched HarmonyOS Next, China's first fully autonomous mobile operating system, breaking from Google's Android and Apple's iOS dominance. The system, used in over one billion devices, supports fifteen thousand native applications and has drawn praise for its potential to expand beyond smartphones. Nevertheless, experts emphasize the need for strong ecosystem support to ensure HarmonyOS's growth in the competitive global market.
On Tuesday in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, Huawei Technologies Co introduced HarmonyOS Next, marking China's first fully autonomous mobile operating system.
Breaking away from Google's Android and Apple's iOS, HarmonyOS Next is now a 'pure-blood' system without Android roots.
Yu Chengdong, Huawei's executive director, highlighted that all of China's top five thousand apps have developed native applications for HarmonyOS, with over fifteen thousand launched so far.
The system, supported by more than one billion devices and six million seven hundred fifty thousand developers, extends Huawei's global tech influence.
Experts like Han Juke and Xiang Ligang praise HarmonyOS for its potential to broaden beyond smartphones to computers, reducing China's reliance on certain chips.
Current devices featuring HarmonyOS include Huawei's Mate 60 and Pura 70 series.
Despite its advances, experts like Wang Haoyu caution that Huawei needs strong ecosystem support and market strategies for HarmonyOS to compete globally.
