On October 22nd, at the Native HarmonyOS Night & Huawei Full-Scenario New Product Launch event, Huawei officially released the newly upgraded "Pure-Blood HarmonyOS" HarmonyOS NEXT (5.0). Since the initial launch of the HarmonyOS operating system on August 9th, 2019, Huawei has been constantly pushing the boundaries of operating system technology with its innovative concepts and strong technological prowess. According to Counterpoint Research, HarmonyOS market share in China has grown from 8% in Q1 2023 to 17% in Q1 2024, surpassing Apple iOS to become the second-largest operating system in China.

This upgraded Pure-Blood HarmonyOS marks a breakthrough in full-stack self-development, completely breaking free from the reliance on the Linux kernel and dismantling the monopoly in the global operating system root technology field. This achievement not only showcases China's technological strength but also injects new vitality into the global operating system market.

In the AI era, the upgrade of Pure-Blood HarmonyOS places special emphasis on the importance of native intelligence. The new system has evolved and made breakthroughs in three areas: new architecture, new experiences, and a new ecosystem, offering users five upgraded experiences: native refinement, intelligence, smoothness, interconnectivity, and security, along with a native HarmonyOS application ecosystem.

The introduction of HarmonyIntelligence, a native HarmonyOS intelligence, signifies the deep integration of AI and the operating system, ushering in a new era of OS experiences in the age of large AI models. Supported by the PanGu large language model, the XiaoYi AI assistant not only possesses powerful comprehension and learning capabilities but also provides more natural and professional interactive experiences through the deep integration of voice and vision. Additionally, Pure-Blood HarmonyOS introduces an industry-first voice restoration feature that utilizes AI technology to help individuals with speech impairments communicate more clearly and smoothly.

In terms of interaction, the upgraded XiaoYi AI assistant enables users to perform tasks like content dragging, generating mind maps, and document translation with greater ease.

The rapid iteration of the HarmonyOS system and the explosive growth of its ecosystem have brought about a constant stream of new experiences for users. By breaking down the barriers between operating system core capabilities and integrating system functions, Huawei has driven the industry towards a new landscape of high-quality innovation. Simultaneously, the innovation of HarmonyOS has been fed back into the HarmonyOS open-source community, providing various industries with independent operating system software and propelling the development of national fundamental industries.

Huawei annually invests over 6 billion yuan to support and incentivize HarmonyOS developer innovation. Currently, the Huawei Developer Alliance boasts a registered developer count of 6.75 million. Numerous provinces and cities across China have issued talent cultivation policies for HarmonyOS, laying a solid talent foundation for the widespread adoption of the operating system.

The flourishing HarmonyOS ecosystem has become a new calling card for Chinese technology. Its success not only reflects China's technological prowess but also marks a profound transformation in the global operating system market. Looking ahead, we anticipate that HarmonyOS will continue to collaborate with global developers to build an even more intelligent, convenient, and secure ecosystem, contributing more power to the digitalization journey of human society.
