    Huawei HarmonyOS NEXT UI leaks, drops native Android apps

    Huawei is quickly nearing the debut of their HarmonyOS operating system with the latest version, HarmonyOS NEXT, seen running on a Mate 60 device. A glance at its user interface hints at an update with fresh designs and notable internal modifications.

    Changes to HarmonyOS NEXT

    Image feeds shared on Weibo indicate a shift from supporting native Android apps in HarmonyOS’ new version NEXT, away from supporting those hosted by both platforms – this may present difficulties to those used to using both simultaneously, particularly for apps with large amounts of local storage like messaging and note-taking tools.

    Technical Enhancements Reports indicate that HarmonyOS NEXT may include a microkernel with Linux compatibility modules to provide Linux syscall support, according to reports. At Huawei’s recent HarmonyOS Eco Thousand Sails Sailing Ceremony in Shanghai, developer preview for Milky Way Edition was made available, with plans for beta test programs beginning as early as Q2 and commercial release due out by Q4.

    Future Prospects

    Huawei has ample time to address concerns around app compatibility and data migration before its full release. They are engaging app developers to foster an ecosystem on HarmonyOS that encompasses over 5,000 applications from popular categories, offering incentives and training programs as a result.

    Huawei’s Mate 60 series with domestic Kirin processor and HarmonyOS has seen great success on the market, selling almost 1.5 million units within its launch month alone. Huawei’s focus on China’s smartphone market has proven fruitful; HarmonyOS captured 16% market share by Q4 2023 while also growing globally to compete against major players such as Apple.

    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.

    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.
