Huawei is constantly developing HarmonyOS with unique and innovative features. The non-stop development and evolution of Huawei HarmonyOS hints that it will bring a strong and more powerful ecosystem than Android in the time ahead.
So far, we come across several developments about HarmonyOS and Android. After the U.S. ban, Huawei tried its own way to win the smartphone world.
But, the company didn’t give up and launched its self-developed operating system – HarmonyOS for its consumers. Since its launch, Huawei has made a lot of changes in both features as well as the performance of the HarmonyOS operating system in all aspects, whether it’s for smartphones, home electronics or commercial devices.
As of now, HarmonyOS ranks among the top operating systems for smartphones. As it has already achieved big milestones such as 320+ million installations on Huawei smartphones, tablets, wearables, and other models. On the other hand, there are over 250 million installations in HarmonyOS Connect smart devices.
Alongside devices, more than 2 million developers are making apps for the HarmonyOS ecosystem. The company has also established 2,200 HarmonyOS Connect partnerships and developed 25,030 HMS Core APIs.
Moreover, the company has surpassed the association rate in the global platforms by 80% with 3000 HarmonyOS applications. It’s worth mentioning that approx 40,000 applications of Huawei are trending in the global market.
Android and iOS – Past things!
Looking at the stunning development of the Huawei HarmonyOS ecosystem, it won’t be wrong to say Android and iOS will soon be defeated. And HarmonyOS will easily overtake the two OS in the next 10 years.
Because in this era internet of everything, HarmonyOS will pave a way for a truly connected environment.
In addition, OpenHarmony technologies are pursuing their own goal to establish a lead in the industry. Combined, the HarmonyOS ecosystem is becoming a vast and full-of-benefits platform for both developers and users.
Yu Chengdong’s words:
At the HarmonyOS 2 launch event, Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO and Smart Car BG head – Yu Chengdong said:
“What we provide is not only a product but a new way of life. HarmonyOS is a unified language in the era of the Internet of Things. It surpasses the Android era and is the most powerful in the era of IoT. We will continue to create smart scenarios in the next 10 years.”
Eventually, this is a clear statement that ten years from now will be the ultimate phase in the HarmonyOS ecosystem and the company will add some amazing tweaks to the respective operating system.
