HUWAEI Harmony OS Release |
Huawei is launching its own (operating) OS on mobile phones:
Huawei released its Harmony mobile operating system on Wednesday, as it adjusts to the loss of access to Google mobile services following the US telecoms company's two-year blacklisting of China.
The Shenzhen-based corporation has revealed that its proprietary Harmony OS system would be accessible on roughly 100 Huawei smartphone models in the fourth quarter of the year, as well as on select tablets and smart displays.
The operating system was released after the US added Huawei to its "list of entities," effectively blocking off US services from US corporations, including Google services and some computer chips, on the grounds that Huawei may aid China's eavesdropping activities, an assertion that the firm flatly rejects.
The placement of Huawei in the list precludes US businesses from doing business with Chinese smartphones and equipment. The blacklist was a severe blow to Huawei, which had relied on key U.S. technology.
Harmony's user experience has exceeded the Android experience "We held an online service official launch on Wednesday, Richard Yu, head of his Huawei User Unit, addressed topics such as sluggish speaking and lagging time during Android's time.
"Our harmony will be the biggest Internet Operating System of its lifetime, and has significant functionality and staying power," he stated.
Having become one of the five largest smartphone manufacturers in the world during the previous year, Huawei, according to information from Canalys market research agency, was drawn by South Korea's Samsung.
In terms of worldwide sales, Huawei has been outpaced by other Chinese smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo. Huawei ranks 7th worldwide and 3rd in China today, despite a 50 per cent fall in smart telephone shipments compared with the previous year in the first quarter of this year.
Last November, Huawei also bought its smartphone brand Budget Honor, which was intended to reduce the burden of US penalties.
The smartphone implementation of Huawei's Harmony OS is a process due the lack of access to Google services, in particular handsets sold abroad. Although the smartphones sold before to the Huawei blacklist continue to operate Google Services, Google Mobile services or upgrades will not be accessed from its new smartphones.
Huawei has introduced its own Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) framework for developing applications on Huawei handsets, to address this issue. In March, Huawei stated that they currently have over 120,000 programmes on their App Store and use HMS, yet they still have no major applications outside like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Telephone owners of Huawei who have no access to Google services cannot download applications such as Gmail and YouTube. Rather, HMS provides mobile website shortcuts for such services.
Google is being blocked in China, thus it is doubtful that Huawei users would be affected in China. But the absence of Google access makes Huawei less attractive to people outside who are used to watching movies on YouTube or using the Gmail software, experts say.
Efforts to make the new Harmony of Huawei more popular might be an awful effort. Challenges to dominating OS are typically flat, such as the Windows Phone system of Microsoft and the smart operating system of Samsung, It is detested on smartphones yet exploited in smartphones.
"What Harmony OS looks like, and if there are genuine elements that give it a leg with certain folks, it will be intriguing to see, But I'm not holding it up," said Brian Ma, user vice president. Brian Ma, Vice President of the Customer, said: "The gadgets for IDC Market Research.
He remarked, "What's still going on in all the institutions in a preceding couple of years is a big concern if not for Google.
However, the switch to a smartphone mobile operating system might provide Huawei with a successful business model to distribute by listing its apps for Huawei's Mobile services to other smartphone makers in China. Can be worried about it.
"Harmony OS might be very enticing to companies that do not have the capacity to create an own OS," said Nicole Peng, vice presidential mobility at Canalys.
