  • Huawei HarmonyOS Receives Support from Chinese Government

    Huawei HarmonyOS Receives Support from Chinese Government

    Shenzhen government recently unveiled an ambitious initiative designed to expand Huawei’s HarmonyOS ecosystem, according to China’s official state news agency Xinhua news.

    Strengthen Harmony OS Competitiveness

    The aim is to heighten the competitive edge of this platform against more established operating systems such as Android and iOS, thus positioning itself to compete successfully against such operating systems as these.

    Shenzhen’s Supportive Action Plan

    Subtitled the Shenzhen Action Plan for Fostering Native HarmonyOS Open Source Applications by 2024, this ambitious endeavor strives to see at least 10% of China’s native HarmonyOS applications being created within Shenzhen by 2024.

    Development Initiatives

    HarmonyOS’ comprehensive development plan calls for the establishment of at least two industrial parks dedicated to its creation as well as training of over one thousand software firms on HarmonyOS technologies.

    Further efforts will be directed toward expanding HarmonyOS outsourcing services to cultivate a developer pool of over 500,000, thus encouraging greater adoption of HarmonyOS applications across key sectors in Shenzhen.

    Potential Global Expansion Strategies

    HarmonyOS as an open-source operating system shows great promise of wider adoption beyond Huawei devices. Through collaborative support from Shenzhen government and Huawei’s initiatives to engage developers and partners, HarmonyOS stands to become an efficient global competitor.

    Explore Progress With Mate 60 Series

    Huawei’s recent success with their HarmonyOS-powered Mate 60 series smartphones has established an irreplaceable foundation, solidifying Huawei’s standing within China’s domestic market and showing promise as an alternative platform. Notably, 16% of smartphones sold in China run HarmonyOS which indicates promising prospects to challenge Android and iOS with strategic investments and alliances.

    Future Prospects And Challenges in Education.

    HarmonyOS has made considerable strides since its debut, yet still needs to expand its developer pool and address revenue-sharing issues in app stores in order to be truly disruptive in tech industries. By doing this, HarmonyOS could attain prominence within China’s plan of strengthening local technology capabilities and become one of the premier platforms.

  • OnePlus, OPPO, Realme To Implement Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner

    OnePlus, OPPO, Realme To Implement Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner

    Since 2013, in-display fingerprint scanners have become a mainstay in smartphone technology, becoming ubiquitous on high-end flagship smartphones and optical scanners, respectively. Ultrasonic and optical scanners both play an essential part in biometric authentication – but ultrasonic is typically chosen over optical for high-end flagship smartphones due to better biometric authentication capability; recently however, Digital Chat Station on Weibo provided information regarding forthcoming ultrasonic scanners on certain devices.

    Brands Leveraging Ultrasonic Technology

    Digital Chat Station reported that OPPO, OnePlus and Realme are actively developing ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanners for their forthcoming devices, which should eventually replace optical scanners on forthcoming flagship offerings from these brands. Unfortunately no further details regarding this development were given by their tipster.

    Current Implementations and Future Prospects.

    Existing flagship phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, iQOO 12 Pro and Meizu 21/21 Pro have already integrated ultrasonic fingerprint scanning technology. Reports also indicate that Xiaomi 15 series powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC may soon follow suit as Goodix single point ultrasonic fingerprint scanner technology undergoes trials indicating potential future adoption.

    Comparing Ultrasonic and Optical Scanners

    Ultrasonic fingerprint scanners create a 3D map of fingerprints by emitting ultrasonic soundwaves beneath a screen when someone contacts their finger with it, creating a detailed 3D map through ultrasonic sound waves transmitted beneath. This technology offers enhanced security features with reduced vulnerability to spoofing, water-resistance, smudge resistance and superior detection accuracy. Conversely, optical scanners offer lower levels of security but at a cheaper cost by capturing 2D fingerprint images using light technology instead.
