Huawei Celebrates a Double Victory: Restructured Smart Selection Phones and HarmonyOS NEXT March Update

Huawei's smartphones are demonstrating strong competitiveness in the market. While new phone supplies still face challenges, the range of models is quite extensive. From the Mate, P, Nova, and Enjoy series, Huawei successfully covers multiple price segments, achieving widespread market penetration. Simultaneously, the continuous development of the HarmonyOS ecosystem has significantly enhanced Huawei's overall brand strength. Recently, Huawei smartphones have received two pieces of good news: a restructuring of its smart selection phones and a HarmonyOS NEXT system update in March, generating considerable anticipation among Huawei fans.

First, as a vital part of the Huawei ecosystem, Huawei's smart selection phones have achieved remarkable success in recent years. They integrate Huawei's advantages in hardware, software, and ecosystem services. While they don't currently feature Kirin processors or immediate upgrades to HarmonyOS NEXT, they exhibit many HarmonyOS-like characteristics. Leveraging Huawei's deep expertise in AI and its active integration into the Huawei ecosystem, these smart selection phones also perform exceptionally well in terms of intelligence.

The accelerated restructuring of Huawei's smart selection phones signals two major upcoming initiatives. First, Huawei will significantly increase its technological investment and support for these phones. It's anticipated that more configurations from Huawei's flagship phones will be integrated into the smart selection brand. This could include the gradual introduction of Kirin processors and the adaptation and optimization of HarmonyOS NEXT. Second, Huawei is currently postponing the launch of a new sub-brand. Despite previous rumors about a "Xingyao" (Starlight) model, Huawei currently seems focused on overcoming existing bottlenecks before considering expanding its sub-brands. This brings hope but also some concerns.

Secondly, regarding HarmonyOS NEXT, recent news suggests it might resemble iOS, supporting only applications from its app store. To achieve this, Huawei needs to increase its support and guidance for developers, encouraging more mainstream apps to adopt native adaptation. This shift marks a crucial step in Huawei's ecosystem development. According to the latest information, users are advised to consider upgrading to HarmonyOS NEXT in March when ecosystem adaptation will be more complete. Users who have already tried HarmonyOS NEXT can also wait for the March update.

To accelerate the native adaptation process of mainstream applications, Huawei could consider establishing a visualized platform for developer adaptation progress. By introducing a gray-scale scoring mechanism, Huawei can effectively encourage mainstream apps to accelerate native adaptation, thus improving the quality of HarmonyOS NEXT's application ecosystem. The gray-scale scoring mechanism is an effective software deployment strategy that mitigates risks and promptly identifies potential issues. Huawei can provide more resources and support to apps with fast and high-quality adaptation progress. For apps with slow progress or problems, Huawei can use the platform to alert and assist in resolving issues, thus accelerating their adaptation process.

As the HarmonyOS ecosystem matures, the likelihood of using Android apps via Petal Search will gradually decrease. I've noticed that Petal Search has extensive permissions, and some apps even excessively request permissions, such as accessing location information, which is not reflected in the permission records. Considering that apps in Petal Search are similar to Android apps, while HarmonyOS apps are true HarmonyOS apps, users who aren't in a hurry to upgrade are advised to wait for a more complete HarmonyOS NEXT version before updating.

Once Huawei's smart selection phones become more widespread, the performance of the HarmonyOS ecosystem will also significantly improve, which is equally worth anticipating. Huawei's smart selection phones and HarmonyOS NEXT, as two major strategic deployments in the smartphone and operating system fields, are leading Huawei towards a higher level of development. Huawei's future development is worth watching.

Finally, we must consider whether Huawei's initiatives will succeed. Will the restructuring of Huawei's smart selection phones and the update to HarmonyOS NEXT truly enhance Huawei's market competitiveness? Time will tell. However, Huawei's demonstrated determination and efforts have shown us its confidence and potential for future development. What are your expectations for Huawei's future development?
