| Hello~ I'm your der (Deer) a house that loves digital, likes to talk about current affairs, and excavates cost-effective things.
最近有小伙伴私信 der,说华为发布的 HarmonyOS NEXT 版本,好奇它有啥提升?
In fact, for most of your friends, even if you watch the Huawei HarmonyOS NEXT conference, you may not understand it, because it is not like the mobile phone processor, CMOS size and other parameters, most of them are the interpretation of development technologies such as system kernels, programming languages, and frameworks, and they are facing developers who need a certain foundation.
So today, der will talk to you, in terms of our user experience, where is the improvement of HarmonyOS NEXT?
First of all, what everyone hears the most is "HarmonyOS NEXT is a pure-blooded version", which is the real "original HarmonyOS", a "complete body", and is an independent and controllable operating system in China.
The reason why I say this is because the next HarmonyOS NEXT will completely abandon the shackles of Android and Linux, and instead use Huawei's self-developed HarmonyOS core, and the topic of HarmonyOS shell can be ended.
For our users, these technologies of the new system, based on the previous full-scene interconnection, further optimize the system fluency and animation effects, and can even use intelligent AI large models for algorithm cloud rendering and cloud processing, which can not only be as smooth as Apple's iOS system, but also faster processing.
Interestingly, Huawei also introduced some examples of shopping, entertainment, travel, etc., which can be combined with the system AI to intelligently unlock the shared bicycle with one click, which is like Huawei's often boasting of the same smart function as automatically displaying the payment code when scanned, which is really exciting.
Secondly, HarmonyOS NEXT, which is native to HarmonyOS, must also be adapted to HarmonyOS natives in terms of applications. Due to the distributed cross-platform system characteristics of the HarmonyOS system, applications can be transferred across different platforms, that is, functions such as multi-screen collaboration, which Huawei uses the system's native open APIs to achieve.
For us users, the first thing that has changed the most is that the app can only be downloaded from Huawei's own app store, and Android apps cannot be installed, which is a bit like Apple's iOS system. This is definitely an advantage and a disadvantage for many partners, the advantage is that it is more secure and smooth, and the application can basically be cross-platform collaboration on various HarmonyOS devices; The disadvantage is that many apps may not be approved by Huawei and put on the app store, which means that you can't install other apps as you like.
At this time, it is estimated that someone has made a smart statement: since the Android application can't be installed, who will be willing to use it just with the native application of HarmonyOS NEXT?
For HarmonyOS native applications, der personally feels that there is no need to worry at all, because at present, the domestic head applications have basically reached cooperation with HarmonyOS NEXT, and it is said that 5000+ applications have started development, 1500+ applications have been put on the shelves, and even WeChat, which everyone misses, will soon complete the adaptation.
Another point is that because HarmoryOS NEXT is originally a self-developed system supported by the state, the adaptation of applications is naturally supported by policies, and the development trend has been steadily rising in at least the past one or two years. Moreover, Huawei itself has proposed the Hongfei plan, announcing that it will invest 10 billion funds to support the construction of the Hongmeng ecosystem within 3 years, so there is no need to worry too much about the application ecology, it will still come, and it will be the test of time.
So, which devices can upgrade the HarmonyOS NEXT system? When can I upgrade?
According to Huawei's official announcement, only the Mate60 series, Pura70 series and MatePad Pro 13.2 have opened the beta version test, and it is expected to open the beta version test for the Mate60 series, Pura70 series, Mate X5 series, Pocket 2 series, Freebuds Pro 3 series, MatePad Pro 13.2-inch, and MatePad Pro 11-inch 2024 models in August this year. And the official version upgrade will be rolled out in the fourth quarter of this year.
I have to say that although the improvements brought by Huawei's HarmonyOS NEXT this time are more technical, each point contains deep insights into our user experience, so that the native AI intelligence can be seamlessly connected to all scenarios, compared with the previous HarmonyOS system, this is the "last piece of the puzzle" of Huawei's ecosystem.
In the end, der does not blow or black, first of all, I feel that Huawei's self-developed system has been held back for so long, given that the share of domestic systems is slightly higher than that of iOS, the development prospects are indeed very large; Secondly, it is the same problem as everyone else's Huawei Hongmeng native application ecology, after all, if a system wants to really gain a foothold, it must have several heavyweight software support.
So at present, der is still waiting to watch, and when the official version is launched, it will be upgraded as soon as possible to experience it with everyone.
