According to its president Huawei, Xu Zhijun, the company has ambitious plans for the HarmonyOS, το λειτουργικό της σύστημα που αναπτύχθηκε ως εναλλακτική λύση στο Android. Ο κ. Zhijun μοιράστηκε τις φιλοδοξίες του κατά τη διάρκεια της Συνόδου Κορυφής Αναλυτών 2024, θέτοντας ως στόχο την ανάδειξη του HarmonyOS στην τρίτη πιο δημοφιλή επιλογή για operating system smartphone worldwide.
Despite the challenges facing Huawei due to US sanctions, the company is optimistic about the future of HarmonyOS. It plans to work closely with app developers, offering them the necessary tools and support to build a robust app ecosystem.
The initial focus will be on its domestic market Chinas, where Huawei estimates that 99% of smartphone users only use about 5.000 apps. The goal is to adapt these 5.000 apps to HarmonyOS NEXT, a process that is already underway with 4.000 apps already adapted. Mr. Zhijun estimates that Huawei will reach 1 million apps on HarmonyOS in the near future.
According to sources, HarmonyOS is gaining ground in China at a rapid pace. It is expected to surpass iOS in popularity, becoming the second most popular smartphone operating system in the country. In the long term, the goal is to dominate the domestic market, leaving Android behind.
