Huawei has pulled out its trump card: HarmonyOS!

#ChineseCar #NewEnergy #electricvehicles Is it true? The United States has finally taken strong action against Huawei, placing it on the blacklist. Huawei's smartphone business is suddenly in a life-or-death crisis, what to do? Huawei has pulled out its trump card: HarmonyOS! HarmonyOS is still weak, can it stand alone? Today's video will discuss this topic with everyone. HarmonyOS is an operating system developed by Huawei, unveiled in August 2019. Faced with the siege from the United States, Huawei spared no effort to cultivate HarmonyOS, hoping to make it the lifesaving straw for its smartphone business. After three years of effort, HarmonyOS has finally grown up, now with 700 million users, ranking as the world's third-largest mobile operating system, just behind Android and iOS. However, HarmonyOS still has a major problem: its ecosystem is too weak, and users still rely on Android applications. To truly make HarmonyOS independent and break free from dependence on Android, Huawei has recently made a bold decision: starting next year, HarmonyOS will no longer support Android applications. This is a gamble and a life-or-death moment for HarmonyOS. Looking back at 2019, Huawei's smartphone business was flourishing, ranking second globally with no one daring to claim the first spot. However, the sudden arrival of the United States with a “network and supply cut-off“ caused Huawei's smartphone business to collapse. In that year, Huawei spent a large sum to launch HarmonyOS 1.0, intending to solve the crisis with its own operating system. At that time, many people were not optimistic about HarmonyOS, considering it to be a “mediocre system“ and doubting Huawei's claims. However, reality proved that Huawei was serious. In June 2021, HarmonyOS 2.0 was released and started commercial use. It was then revealed that HarmonyOS was a potential stock, with the possibility of changing the landscape of mobile operating systems. Over three years, Huawei fully supported HarmonyOS, allowing it to grow, and now with 700 million users, it is the world's third-largest operating system, just like Microsoft's Windows Phone. This is a significant achievement and demonstrates the ambition and potential of HarmonyOS. As HarmonyOS has developed, Huawei is now facing its real challenges: the most significant problem is that HarmonyOS has a poor software ecosystem. Currently, 80% of HarmonyOS smartphone users still use Android applications. This indicates that users are still accustomed to the Android system, and HarmonyOS cannot meet their needs. The fundamental reason for the poor HarmonyOS ecosystem is that domestic internet/software companies have not been supportive. Most app developers still focus only on the mainstream platforms, iOS and Android. This leaves HarmonyOS without its own app store. Without useful software, HarmonyOS will struggle to retain users, who will increasingly rely on the Android platform. HarmonyOS must overcome this dilemma; otherwise, it risks being marginalized.
