"Today, the ecological trend of HarmonyOS has been set, and the sky is full of stars, which will eventually merge into a bright Milky Way!" Nine months ago, when HarmonyOS NEXT (native HarmonyOS or pure blood HarmonyOS) made its debut, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei and chairman of BG, said so.
On October 22nd, Huawei held the HarmonyOS Night and Huawei’s new product launch conference. On the night of this bumper harvest season, HarmonyOS NEXT, the fruit of Huawei’s "Ten Years of Sharpening a Sword" and a brand-new native HarmonyOS operating system for consumers, was officially released. A series of innovative functions based on the five innovative capabilities of native exquisiteness, native intelligence, native fluency, native interconnection and native security were exposed for the first time. If you can understand the user’s "here" and "this", you can share WiFi, goods and videos with a touch.
It is worth mentioning that HarmonyOS NEXT released this time is the biggest upgrade in HarmonyOS since its birth in 2019, and it is also the first full-stack self-developed operating system in China. It has achieved completely independent research and development from operating system kernel, file system to programming language, AI framework and large model, and is no longer compatible with Android, which is expected to break the bipolar pattern of monopoly of Android and iOS in the field of mobile operating systems. In the future, with the continuous development of native HarmonyOS’s ecology, it will also drive a new round of self-controllable and innovative development upsurge of China’s software industry.
HarmonyOS NEXT is here.
According to Yu Chengdong, HarmonyOS is based on micro-kernel architecture, which is a full-scene intelligent operating system for the era of all things, deeply integrating software, hardware, cloud and application ecology. HarmonyOS NEXT can be said to be a new starting point for HarmonyOS.
Specifically, in terms of native intelligence, HarmonyOS NEXT deeply integrates AI with the operating system, so that AI capabilities are deeply integrated into various subsystems, and AI assistant Xiaoyi is also upgraded to an agent.
He Gang showed the function of circle selection of Xiaoyi on the spot. Just click the knuckles to circle the screen area in one step, Xiaoyi can actively understand the circle selection content and provide answers or tips, such as automatically circle selection to help fill in the transfer information, help write or polish the manuscript, and help fill in the booking information.
It is worth mentioning that HarmonyOS NEXT also has the industry’s first AI sound repair function, which can ensure that every sentence is clearly transmitted by repairing the difficult-to-identify sentences spoken by people with speech impairment in real time, and help people with speech impairment to communicate without hindrance.
In addition, Huawei’s sharing has also been upgraded. HarmonyOS NEXT supports multi-person sending, one-touch instant sending and acquaintances’ direct sending. You can share WiFi, videos or video links with one touch.
More than 15,000 applications and meta-services have been put on the shelves.
As we all know, ecology is the key to the success or failure of an operating system. Since the launch of HarmonyOS in 2019, its success has also been controversial.
However, judging from the current development, HarmonyOS, as Yu Chengdong said before, "the general trend of HarmonyOS’s development has been set".
"On September 25th last year, we blew the horn of the native HarmonyOS, and now the native HarmonyOS finally met with you. Up to now, the number of ecological devices in HarmonyOS has exceeded 1 billion, and more than 15,000 applications and meta-services have been put on the shelves. The number of ecological applications and meta-services in HarmonyOS has increased by more than 10 times compared with that in June this year. It took us more than a year to go through the road that foreign operating systems have gone through for more than ten years." Yu Chengdong said at the scene.
"With a base and ecology, it is the real operating system! HarmonyOS cannot be made by Huawei alone. Thanks to the joint efforts of partners from all walks of life, the native HarmonyOS APP iterates rapidly, almost reaching the amazing speed of one version a day. The general office application covers more than 38 million enterprises nationwide, and thousands of internal office applications of government and enterprises are accelerated. Ecological development is advancing by leaps and bounds, and HarmonyOS’s ecology has achieved a historic breakthrough. " Yu Chengdong said.
Previously, in June this year, the HarmonyOS NEXT Beta was officially released at the Huawei Developers Conference. On October 8, the native HarmonyOS OS Next officially began public beta. The first batch of public beta models included Huawei Mate 60 series, Huawei Mate X5 series and Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch series. At this conference, Huawei launched the public beta of Huawei Pura70 series, Pocket series and other models.
It is worth mentioning that in order to sprint the "last mile" of native HarmonyOS commerce and further prosper HarmonyOS’s ecology, Huawei released the incentive plan for native application developers in HarmonyOS on October 10, and completed the development of native applications and meta-services in HarmonyOS from October 10 to December 31, and officially put them on the HarmonyOS NEXT application market, which will provide opportunities for cash incentives and exclusive traffic support.
A number of ecological partners voiced
Not long ago, the native version of WeChat in HarmonyOS officially began to invite internal testing. This "early adopter version" of WeChat already includes basic social communication, audio and video calls, circle of friends, QR code receipt/payment of WeChat payment and other functions.
Tencent introduced that at present, more than 20 products such as WeChat, QQ, Tencent Conference, Enterprise WeChat, Tencent Video, Tencent News, Tencent Sports, QQ Browser, sogou Input Method, Tencent Stock Selection, Licaitong, Tencent Advertising, QQ Music, Cool Dog Music, Kuwo Music, National karaoke, lazy listening, starting reading, QQ reading, WeChat reading and WeChat input method are constantly adapting.
At this conference, representatives of native HarmonyOS partners such as JD.COM, Alipay, Nail, WPS and Feishu also appeared on the scene and shared their experiences and challenges in developing native HarmonyOS.
"As early as last November, we started the research and development of the nailed HarmonyOS version, mainly due to two considerations. First, there was a strong appeal from the nailed customers, and a large number of government and enterprise and head customers were nailed, and HarmonyOS demands were put forward with us; Second, it comes from the spontaneous innovation demand of nails. The design ideas such as native intelligence, one-multi framework and meta-service of native HarmonyOS coincide with nails. We believe that there is a chance to recreate a new experience on the HarmonyOS system. " The person in charge of nailing said.
Alipay, together with Huawei, officially launched HarmonyOS native application development on December 7, 2023. On June 19 this year, Alipay HarmonyOS native application Beta version was launched, and on October 8 this year, Alipay HarmonyOS version was officially launched, with millions of applets behind it. JD.COM’s core applications and enterprise applications began to complete the native adaptation of HarmonyOS in June this year.
"Building HarmonyOS’s native application ecology is the most critical thing for Huawei in 2024." In April this year, at the Huawei analyst conference, Xu Zhijun, Huawei’s rotating chairman, said that Huawei hopes to fully migrate the applications that have been used on smartphones for more than 99% of the time in the China market to the native operating system in HarmonyOS in 2024, so as to truly realize the unification of operating system and application ecology.
According to the latest statistics of Counterpoint, the global market share of HarmonyOS OS successfully exceeded 4% in the first quarter of 2024. In the China market, thanks to the sales of Huawei’s flagship products, HarmonyOS surpassed iOS for the first time and became the second largest operating system in the market.
Yu Chengdong said that HarmonyOS has become one of the top two operating system markets in China, with 91% brand awareness and 6.75 million registered developers.
"Huawei alone can’t make HarmonyOS. Only the active participation of ecological partners, the innovative contribution of developers and the trust and support of consumers can we build a strong HarmonyOS ecology and realize the sustainable development of HarmonyOS. " Yu Chengdong said at the scene.
At the press conference, Yu Chengdong once again called on all walks of life to build a new world in HarmonyOS. He said that since HarmonyOS started Beta testing, it has received more than 1 million suggestions and feedback. Thanks to every partner, developer and consumer for their support, and appeals to more partners and users to support and embrace native HarmonyOS. Now, we are striding forward from the beginning and working together to build and share a new world in HarmonyOS.
This level refers to the chassis As we all know, German cars have made great achievements in handling performance and creating a sense of movement. The reason is that most models adopt the chassis form of front and rear drive, which not only gives it better sports properties, but also deserves praise for its handling stability. With the front suspension with front double wishbone structure, the German car has a more balanced performance in comfort and handling. Even the most affordable Audi brand in BBA, starting from A4 level, has provided front double wishbone suspension to ensure the stability of vehicle handling, and the four-wheel drive system of some high-end models has also made its driving stability more obvious.
