Huawei's Pura Pioneer Ceremony: HarmonyOS Ecosystem Launches Full-Scale Assault with HarmonyOS 5 and Highly Anticipated HarmonyOS PC

At the "Pura Pioneer Ceremony and HarmonyOS Smart Travel New Product Launch," Huawei not only unveiled the Pura X, its first foldable phone fully equipped with HarmonyOS 5, but also made the significant announcement of the official launch of its HarmonyOS PC in May. This marks a complete transition of Huawei's consumer electronics to the HarmonyOS era. Richard Yu, Huawei's CEO of Consumer Business Group, announced that Huawei's consumer devices will default to HarmonyOS, signaling the gradual unfolding of a full-scenario ecosystem blueprint for a homegrown Chinese operating system, bringing users an unprecedented experience. The conference highlighted the HarmonyOS 5 upgrade plan, showcasing its extensive device coverage and clear upgrade roadmap, demonstrating Huawei's remarkable ecosystem development speed.

HarmonyOS 5 Upgrade Plan: Broad Coverage, Rapid Upgrades

The HarmonyOS 5 upgrade plan officially launched beta testing on March 31st, showcasing its rapid ecosystem development. The initial batch of devices participating in public beta testing includes the Huawei Nova 12 series and Nova 13 series. Simultaneously, the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch 2025 model, MatePad Pro 12.2-inch, MatePad Air 12-inch, and MatePad 11.5-inch S series also began their Pollen Beta testing.

HarmonyOS 5.0.1 is expected to officially launch in the second quarter of this year, supporting numerous devices including the Huawei Mate 60 series, Huawei Mate 70 series, Huawei Mate X (Master Edition), Huawei Nova Flip, and Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch series. While devices like the Huawei Mate 40 series and Huawei Enjoy 70 series are not included in this upgrade plan, the massive device coverage demonstrates Huawei's commitment to the HarmonyOS 5 upgrade.

HarmonyOS 5: Significant Performance Improvements, Enhanced Security and Privacy

HarmonyOS 5 itself boasts considerable advantages. Through kernel reconstruction, it achieves a 40% increase in system efficiency, significantly improving user experience. Furthermore, HarmonyOS 5 supports cross-device fusion, forming a "super terminal" with HarmonyOS PCs and tablets, enabling on-demand computing resource allocation and further enhancing user efficiency.

In terms of security and privacy, HarmonyOS 5 employs a data encryption system under a distributed cloud architecture, providing "chip-level protection" to safeguard user data. Notably, HarmonyOS 5 supports one-click login for over 100 apps, enhancing user convenience. The release of HarmonyOS 5.0.1 is expected to further optimize user experience, much to the anticipation of Huawei users.

Ecosystem Development: Strong Alliances, Accelerating the HarmonyOS Closed Loop

Beyond system upgrades, Huawei is actively building a comprehensive ecosystem, a key focus for the company. Richard Yu revealed that the HarmonyOS version of WeChat will launch key features such as "WeChat Moments," "Favorites," and "Video Number forwarding to Moments" by the end of March, significantly enriching the HarmonyOS app ecosystem and improving user stickiness.

According to distributors, Huawei is requiring partners to "fully promote HarmonyOS products." This strong binding strategy may reshape the industry landscape and accelerate the rapid development of the HarmonyOS ecosystem. Furthermore, Huawei has previously announced that starting in 2025, all new products will be pre-installed with HarmonyOS, and older models will be upgraded in batches. This "all-HarmonyOS" strategy is accelerating the formation of a closed-loop ecosystem, building a more prosperous HarmonyOS ecosystem.

HarmonyOS PC: Targeting the High-End Market, Challenging the Traditional PC Ecosystem

In addition to the HarmonyOS 5 upgrade plan, the launch event also unveiled the highly anticipated HarmonyOS PC, further raising market expectations. With the Microsoft Windows license nearing expiration, the launch of Huawei's HarmonyOS PC holds significant strategic importance.

According to insiders, the first commercial HarmonyOS AI laptop has completed final testing and will utilize a combination of the self-developed Kunpeng processor and HarmonyOS. This move is not only a response to US technological sanctions but also a crucial step for Huawei in building its own ecosystem.

HarmonyOS PC has also achieved significant technological breakthroughs. First, it enables full-scenario interconnection, seamlessly collaborating with smartphones and tablets, unifying the application ecosystem and breaking down device barriers to improve user efficiency. Secondly, it adopts a distributed cloud architecture, leveraging distributed technologies to achieve computing power sharing and further enhance work efficiency. Additionally, HarmonyOS PC deeply integrates AI capabilities, extending AI capabilities from the hardware layer to the system layer, reconstructing human-computer interaction and providing users with a new experience.

Richard Yu emphasized that mainstream applications have already completed HarmonyOS adaptation, and unadapted niche applications can be replaced with mini-programs, alleviating user concerns. The launch of HarmonyOS PC marks a shift in the operating system battleground from a duopoly of "Android + Windows" to a multipolar competition of "HarmonyOS + Android + iOS + Windows."

Full-Scenario Ecosystem: Building a New Experience for Future Smart Living

Huawei's coordinated upgrade of its "smartphone-tablet-PC" trinity, coupled with the HarmonyOS integration of smart wearable devices, is building a complete full-scenario ecosystem, creating a more convenient and intelligent living experience for users.

This ecological transformation not only reflects technological iteration but also demonstrates the courage and wisdom of a national technology company breaking through adversity. From HarmonyOS 5 to self-developed PCs, from mobile ecosystems to full-scenario coverage, Huawei is using HarmonyOS to weave an intelligent network that transcends physical limitations, leading the trend of future smart living.
