HarmonyOS: Huawei writes impressive history
Huawei is struggling with problems, but the Chinese company is making history on one point. It’s about your own operating system HarmonyOS and how quickly it is distributed. There you have trumped the competition.
HarmonyOS: The fastest growing mobile operating system
Huawei shares the successes of its own HarmonyOS at regular intervals. We recently reported that the operating system had been installed over 100 million times. Just a few days later there are already 120 million deviceswho are using HarmonyOS. Huawei gains 1 million users per day who install the update to HarmonyOS from Android. This makes it the fastest growing mobile operating system of all time (source: GizChina)
The success is all the more impressive as HarmonyOS has so far only been distributed in China. If the new operating system is finally released worldwide, the adoption rate is likely to rise rapidly. When this will happen is not yet known. Huawei seems to want to concentrate on China for the time being, where overall 100 devices should receive the upgrade in the future. Including very old models that would otherwise no longer receive an update. This also ensures that many users switch.
The fact that HarmonyOS is being adopted so quickly is because Huawei has a large hardware base that was quickly supported. This was often not the case with the other operating systems. These had to grow slowly with new models appearing. By the way, Huawei wants to reach 300 million HarmonyOS devices by the end of 2021.
We tried HarmonyOS on the Huawei MatePad 11. in the Video find out what the new operating system is good for:
HarmonyOS has to do without Google apps
The high adoption rate for HarmonyOS in China is hardly surprising. Google services and apps hardly play a role there. It looks different in Europe. Here has an operating system without Google support hardly stands a chance, To have success. This can also be seen in the sales figures for smartphones such as the Huawei P40 Pro, which came on the market in Germany, but shows clear weaknesses in the test.
