Huawei has achieved great things in the smartphone market, including the success of the Mate 60 series. As Huawei continues to increase its user base in China, it has much more far-reaching plans with HarmonyOS. The company wants to make its operating system a global challenger to iOS and Android.
Huawei HarmonyOS is preparing to grow in the global market
Huawei President Erik Xu reminded that Android support will be cut with HarmonyOS Next. This means that many popular apps will become unusable in HarmonyOS. However, Xu said that they want to identify the 5 thousand most used applications and make them fully HarmonyOS compatible by the end of the year.
According to Huawei, this will provide the pool of apps needed to enhance the device experience. President Xu said the company encourages developers to bring their apps to HarmonyOS.
Marvel Rivals, the new 5v5 action shooter from the Marvel universe, has shared a new gameplay video featuring Loki.
With the expansion of the app ecosystem on HarmonyOS, it is possible that the operating system will gain a foothold in the global market. Considering the challenges Microsoft faces with Windows Mobile, Huawei wants to be a strong competitor to iOS and Android.
The company is also preparing for a big change with HarmonyOS Next. According to the images shared, some apps and data will be pulled from cloud storage. The loss of Android support is likely to significantly affect the user experience in terms of apps and data.
Huawei’s efforts for HarmonyOS have so far been limited to China. The initiatives made in the academy need to spread to markets such as Europe and the US.
