HarmonyOS NEXT's "Ultra-Long-Range Scanning": Redefining the Mobile Scanning Experience

Smartphone scanning functionality has become an integral part of daily life, essential for everything from paying bills to accessing various services. Scanning significantly simplifies everyday tasks. However, Huawei's recently launched "Ultra-Long-Range Scanning" feature in HarmonyOS NEXT (native Hongmeng) elevates this convenience to a new level, providing users with an unprecedented upgrade in experience.

HarmonyOS NEXT's "Ultra-Long-Range Scanning" primarily targets common scanning scenarios such as parking lot payments, restaurant ordering, and unlocking shared bicycles. Unlike traditional methods requiring close proximity to the QR code, this feature allows users to scan from a distance. There's no need to get out of the car or approach the code; various scanning tasks can be completed conveniently. Under ideal lighting conditions, for an 18cm x 18cm QR code, the automatic zoom function allows for a maximum scanning distance of 18 meters. This breakthrough in distance significantly improves user efficiency and convenience.

Beyond its long-range scanning capabilities, HarmonyOS NEXT also refines the user interface for a smoother, more convenient experience. Users can quickly activate the long-range scanning function by pulling down the menu and tapping a button, and double-tapping the screen performs zoom operations. The entire process is straightforward, requiring no complex settings or steps, making it user-friendly even for older users. This highlights HarmonyOS NEXT's commitment to user-friendliness.

Importantly, HarmonyOS NEXT's innovations in scanning go beyond "Ultra-Long-Range Scanning." The system integrates "Scan and Go Direct," providing a more efficient scanning experience. When a QR code is scanned, the system directly launches the corresponding app's designated service via a system-level persistent entry. This eliminates the need to find the app first, further enhancing efficiency and showcasing HarmonyOS NEXT's attention to detail.

Furthermore, HarmonyOS NEXT introduces "Unified Scanning," encompassing lock-screen scanning and intelligent screen sensing scanning. Users can quickly initiate the scanning function regardless of whether the device is locked or in another application, directly jumping to the relevant app or service after successful scanning. This seamless scanning experience improves user comfort, blurring the lines between applications and providing consistent convenience across various scenarios.

Huawei's significant investment in HarmonyOS NEXT's scanning functionality is no coincidence. This initiative aims to enhance user experience and increase user stickiness within the Hongmeng app ecosystem. Apple has demonstrated that close hardware and software coordination can effectively increase user loyalty, building a robust device and application ecosystem. With the return of Kirin chips and increasing third-party app support for HarmonyOS NEXT, Huawei also possesses these key hardware and software advantages, enabling better system optimization.

Optimizing frequently used features like scanning is therefore central to HarmonyOS NEXT's current update strategy, demonstrating its commitment to a superior user experience. From refining small features to developing innovative complex functionalities, Huawei is steadily improving HarmonyOS NEXT. In the near future, HarmonyOS NEXT is expected to present a more refined and powerful system.

The comprehensive upgrade to HarmonyOS NEXT's scanning functionality is not just a technical improvement but reflects a deep understanding and ongoing pursuit of user experience. It demonstrates HarmonyOS NEXT's efforts to enhance user satisfaction and ecosystem stickiness. This user-centric development philosophy will undoubtedly open up more possibilities for HarmonyOS NEXT's future development, enabling it to stand out in the competition with other mobile operating systems. By thoroughly investigating everyday usage scenarios and accurately understanding user needs, HarmonyOS NEXT continuously optimizes details and enhances user experience. This is not limited to "Ultra-Long-Range Scanning" but extends to a comprehensive improvement of the entire system.

The continuous iteration and updates of HarmonyOS NEXT also showcase Huawei's unwavering commitment to technological innovation and user experience. In the future, HarmonyOS NEXT will continue to improve in various aspects, providing users with a more convenient, efficient, and intelligent experience. The launch of "Ultra-Long-Range Scanning" is a testament to HarmonyOS NEXT's continuous progress and innovation, signaling a brighter future in the mobile operating system landscape.

Huawei continues to optimize HarmonyOS NEXT, bringing users a more convenient and intelligent experience. "Ultra-Long-Range Scanning" is only the beginning. We anticipate more exciting features and experiences from HarmonyOS NEXT in the future. Starting with incremental improvements, Huawei is gradually building a more complete and powerful Hongmeng ecosystem.
