Speaking of mobile operating systems, I believe that the first thing many people think of is Apple iOS and Android. In fact, HarmonyOS's HarmonyOS is the world's third largest mobile operating system and is also a new generation of smart terminal operating system for the era of Internet of Things. Therefore, if the "iOS camp and Android camp" are used to distinguish mobile phones, it will appear one-sided and unprofessional.
It is worth mentioning here that MIUI of Xiaomi , vivo OriginOS, OPPO colorOS, Honor MagicOS, Samsung ONE UI, etc. are all customized UIs developed based on the underlying Android architecture. They are not independent operating systems, which are commonly known as "Android shell". This is one of the reasons why many people do not think it is difficult to get started after changing to other brands of mobile phones, because the systems are very different.
This "no learning cost" replacement experience has a deeper feeling after many users who have used HarmonyOS experience MagicOS, and even the illusion of "not changing your phone". For example, multi-intention cards, card combination recommendations, etc., are very similar to the universal cards I saw on HarmonyOS 2 last year. In fact, users who know Huawei know that Honor is Huawei's Internet brand, and software and hardware are shared with Huawei. The current MagicOS is the result of the replacement of EMUI, and
, so when you see the UI interface of MagicOS, you will feel a "familiar feeling".
. The functions displayed in these UIs are actually already available in native Android, but the API interface of these functions is provided to mobile phone manufacturers for further optimization and expansion. In other words, if Android does not support features, these mobile phone UIs cannot be implemented, such as HarmonyOS's hyper-terminal.
As we all know, HarmonyOS's biggest advantage is its strong distributed capabilities, which is also the core of its collaboration across devices and systems. What it brings is not just the MagicOS trust ring that connects mobile phones, PCs, and tablets as simple as connecting them. HarmonyOS achieves the true interconnection of everything.
In principle, HarmonyOS is based on distributed soft bus, end-cloud collaboration and other capabilities, allowing ecological devices to be connected and used immediately; in actual experience, we can only use one device to view and manage other terminals, such as multi-screen collaboration with PC through a hyper-terminal mobile phone, so that applications on the mobile phone can be directly viewed and managed on the PC; after the watch is connected to the mobile phone, you can not only view the various sports data recorded by the watch, but also view the physical indicators of family members, especially the physical health of parents, and we need to keep our attention at any time; the content in the mobile phone can also be seamlessly transferred to large-screen devices or even smart screens, and in HarmonyOS With the blessing of 3, the smart screen can now be used as the initiator of the super terminal to connect to the headphones. This is very practical when I watched the Qatar World Cup recently. Because the competition is all at night, the elderly and children are already asleep. I use the smart screen to watch the live broadcast, and the sound can flow out of the headphones, and it will not disturb the family at all. If it is inconvenient to carry a mobile phone while exercising but still want to listen to music, the headphones can also be directly connected to the smart watch without going through the mobile phone. In this way, HarmonyOS truly achieves the Internet of Things.
It can also be seen from this that MagicOS's trust ring is more of a replica of the hyper terminal. Not only is the limited interconnection device, but the application scenarios are also relatively scarce, making it difficult to bring a truly interconnection experience of everything.
It's no wonder HarmonyOS is the fastest growing operating system in the world. Every step is taken very solidly, and every iteration allows us to experience innovation. In particular, the three aspects of UX interaction, smooth experience, and privacy and security have become the focus of HarmonyOS's future upgrades. At the same time, this is also the most obvious experience that consumers perceive, and it is also a function that cannot be achieved by customizing UI alone.
So far, Huawei equipment equipped with Hongmeng system has reached 320 million units, Hongmeng Zhilian has more than 2,200 partners, product shipments exceed 250 million, and Hongmeng ecological developers exceed 2 million. This is all inseparable from the support and trust of consumers and partners.I believe that in the future, HarmonyOS will continue to bring us a smoother and more useful innovative experience through the advantages of an independent operating system.
