Zhou Hongyi shared his views on HarmonyOS NEXT. During an interview, he stated the new software seemingly contains prominent features and the goodness of AI.

The 360 Group Founder added that HarmonyOS NEXT is a major creation in Huawei’s ecosystem. It is not an ordinary OS but a complete package of smarter and more significant features. HarmonyOS will likely be a tough opponent to other operating systems.

“…It is more likely to become a dark horse in the field of mobile operating systems and create a school of its own.” – said Zhou Hongyi.

The executive further stressed how AI is becoming an important part of users and phone makers. He said that AI can easily reshape the overall user experience.

Hence, the success of HarmonyOS is connected to AI progress. Huawei will likely introduce more advanced AI features with its new software rollouts for its devices.

Zhou Hongyi mentioned that AI has the power to redefine smartphones and bring all phone makers back to the same starting line. Big AI models give opportunities to all industries to reshuffle, reshape, and overtake rivals in the technology race.

HarmonyOS NEXT claims to be better in several aspects. Whether it is UI smoothness or advanced functions, the company has upgraded the new OS at all levels.

Huawei ensures that HarmonyOS NEXT offers a much better experience than the previous versions. It has improved the fluency part of the software by 30%. Meanwhile, the upgraded version brings 1 hour of extra battery life for its devices.

Changes are also visible while sharing files and downloading applications to the device. HarmonyOS NEXT promises to deliver faster sharing speed and protect your device from anonymous apps that could be a threat to your data and privacy.

During the Huawei Connect 2024 event, Zhu Yonggang – the President of Huawei Mobile Cloud said the HarmonyOS ecosystem has completed the 17-year progress journey of others (Android and iOS) in 1 year. This is a big achievement for the firm.

The credit for this quick progress journey goes to 1000+ partners who have joined the HarmonyOS ecosystem. Some of these are Ant Group, China UnionPay, and iFlytek.

Android’s 17-year progress journey refers to its success rate in the operating system market. Both Android and iOS are considered the top smartphone OS(s). They are full of ultimate features, new customizations, smart tools, and AI capabilities.

Yet, these operating systems took 17 years (iOS’s first version: 2007 and Android’s first version: 2008) to reach their current status and achieve high success rates.

But HarmonyOS achieved new heights unexpectedly. Zhu says that it would have been impossible to begin HarmonyOS development again from scratch. Hence, the company opted to improve and upgrade its software with cutting-edge solutions.

As of now, HarmonyOS NEXT is much faster, smoother, and better than Android. It equips microkernel which is 3x more efficient than traditional Linux.

At the same time, developers and partners have been a great support in the HarmonyOS ecosystem’s development. They have made progress super speedy, compared to other operating systems. 900+ million devices already run on HarmonyOS.

On the flip side, the number of registered developers in Huawei Developer Alliance is 6.75 million (a 10 times increase in 5 years). The company also takes good care of its developers. It has been investing 6 billion yuan every year to boost developer innovation.

“HarmonyOS does not compete for profits, set limits, or stop. It insists on investing more than 6 billion yuan each year to support and encourage its developers to innovate.”

HarmonyOS has already outperformed iOS in Q1 2024 in China. With new features and upgraded capabilities, HarmonyOS seems ready to become the second-largest smartphone operating system in China.
