The emergence of Hongmeng operating system is a big leap from 0 to 1 for domestic mobile phone operating systems. It is also an important sign of breaking the long-term Western monopoly and achieving independent control. However, from the development of Hongmeng mobile phone system to the present, many people still have a prejudice against and Hongmeng , thinking that Hongmeng is a shell of Android.
The reason why some people think so is mainly because of Hongmeng’s compatibility with Android. Previously, and Huawei did not give too many explanations. Instead, they used practical actions to rectify Hongmeng’s name. According to the latest official statement from Huawei, after the Hongmeng 3.0 system is launched, the Google code will be completely deleted.
Hongmeng helps Huawei get rid of its dependence on Google
Google's Android kernel is actually an open source operating system itself. Major manufacturers can easily obtain and deeply build their own operating systems, such as Xiaomi 's MIUI and Huawei's previous EMUI. However, the GMS framework that is used with Android is authorized by Google. Due to relevant restrictions, Google cannot authorize GMS and the latest Android version to Huawei. This also means that Huawei’s overseas version of mobile phones cannot install Google’s app store and cannot use Google’s Core applications, and Google not only controls the GMS framework and Android system, but its core applications are also very popular in overseas markets.
Consumers are often the most unscrupulous. For the same price, they will inevitably choose the one with better experience. This has also led to Huawei's overseas mobile phone business shrinking significantly. Since Google does not allow the use of GMS and Android systems, Huawei has launched Hongmeng, which can be regarded as getting rid of its dependence on Google.
The controversy over Hongmeng’s “shell” Android
Due to users’ usage habits and the lack of Hongmeng ecology in the early days, Hongmeng did introduce some Android code. It is precisely because of this that Hongmeng can be better compatible with Android and ensure the user experience. Some people mistakenly It’s not surprising to think that Hongmeng is a “shell” Android. But in essence, the underlying architecture of Hongmeng is different from that of Android. Hongmeng focuses on distribution and is a microkernel operating system built with the purpose of interconnecting everything. It is applicable to mobile phones, conductive devices, PCs, TVs, motorcycles, and iPads. etc. scenarios, which are difficult to achieve with Android.
In fact, for most users, it does not matter whether Hongmeng deletes the Google code. The Android kernel is an open source operating system, and most of its code contributions come from the open source community , that is, mobile phone developers like Huawei. Even Google's Android 13 will use Huawei's EROFS super file system. So do you think Android 13 is a "shell" of Hongmeng? No, but there are some prejudiced people who are clinging to Hongmeng’s Android code.
Hongmeng 3.0 will start over
Huawei announced that Hongmeng 3.0 will completely delete Google code. It not only wants to clear up Hongmeng's name, but also expresses its attitude of "Goodbye Android"! According to existing information, the biggest change of Hongmeng 3.0 not only solves the problem of being too similar to Android, but also streamlines the system and upgrades the algorithm, bringing users a smoother experience.
In the field of "Internet of Everything" that Hongmeng is good at, Hongmeng has ushered in further upgrades, such as supporting multi-device access to create super terminals, and unique and innovative super heterogeneous networking technology to achieve seamless mobile phones, PCs, and tablets. circulation and interconnection. The unique distributed collaborative computing capability can use the PC's graphics card to greatly improve the picture quality and smoothness of the game, allowing mid-range mobile phones with low performance to enjoy a top-notch gaming experience.
Previously, Wang Chenglu, the "father of Hongmeng", resigned from Huawei and joined Shenzhen Kaihong. The purpose was to promote the prosperity of the Hongmeng ecosystem. In addition, Hongmeng 3.0 will delete all Google code, which also means that most applications of Hongmeng 3.0 will be replaced by Hongmeng. Exclusive application, which also means that the Hongmeng system will be smoother, more stable, and more responsive than before, so this is a new beginning for Hongmeng.
