Huawei Unveils the Pura X: Powered by HarmonyOS 5, Ushering in a New Era of All-Things-Connected

On March 20th, at the Huawei Pura Pioneer Summit, the highly anticipated Huawei Pura X made its debut. This phone is the world's first to be fully equipped with HarmonyOS 5 out of the box. The launch event was more than just a product unveiling; it was an in-depth dialogue on the co-creation and co-construction of the HarmonyOS ecosystem. Representatives from leading partners including Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, WPS, Baidu, JD.com, DingTalk, Baidu Netdisk, Dianping, and QQ Music took the stage to share their collaborative achievements with HarmonyOS, showcasing the innovative experiences enabled by the ecosystem and issuing a call for joint construction of a new HarmonyOS world.

The launch of the Huawei Pura X marks a new milestone for Huawei's terminal software capabilities. Through synergistic hardware and software development, Huawei has delivered a revolutionary "significantly different" experience to hundreds of millions of users, injecting fresh energy into the domestic operating system-level software ecosystem and driving digital upgrades and efficient innovation across various industries. The innovative aspects of HarmonyOS 5 and how it will transform people's lives are embodied in every line of code and every collaborative innovation from its partners.

Unprecedented "Smoothness": A HarmonyOS Experience Unlike Any Other

For over 20 years, Huawei's terminal business has consistently pursued innovation, resulting in numerous products that are both "imaginable but unachievable by others, and achievable yet unimaginable." The Huawei Pura X is precisely such an "unimaginable product." Its unprecedented 16:10 inner screen aspect ratio delivers an unparalleled expansive viewing experience, offering more immersive and efficient use for browsing news, watching videos, or playing games. The redesigned outer screen widgets are also more convenient and practical. All of these "unimaginable" hardware innovations are designed for HarmonyOS, and through hardware-software synergy, Huawei delivers a revolutionary "smooth" experience to hundreds of millions of users.

The compelling presentations from six leading partners perfectly illustrate the concept of a "significantly different HarmonyOS experience."

Xiaohongshu: Co-creating with HarmonyOS to Build a Better Lifestyle Guide for 300 Million Users

As a "lifestyle guide" with 300 million users, the HarmonyOS version of Xiaohongshu delivers a more immersive "expansive" experience on the Pura X. Users can simply pinch to easily adjust the homepage layout, switching from two columns to three, and then to four. To create a more immersive browsing experience, the top and bottom status bars automatically hide when swiping, displaying more note content for a more engaging experience.

The Pura X inherits the left-image, right-text mode pioneered by the Mate X3, allowing users to view images on the left and browse comments on the right. This more convenient interaction ensures users don't miss any exciting comments. The HarmonyOS version of Xiaohongshu provides comprehensive immersive adaptation for video images, allowing users to enjoy immersive video browsing on the Pura X's 16:10 expansive screen. Additionally, users can conveniently browse videos anytime, anywhere via the outer screen, and the tap-to-share function also supports outer screen operation, providing a more convenient and fun "tap-to-connect" experience. Xiaohongshu's dynamic photos are even more vivid on the Pura X, making sharing and discovery more dynamic, with even comments coming to life.

Bilibili: XiaoYi, XiaoYi, One-Click Triple-Like!

Ruby, Bilibili's product manager and head of the Bilibili HarmonyOS project, shared the surprises brought by the HarmonyOS version of Bilibili. She gave an example of how, at mealtimes, XiaoYi will thoughtfully recommend videos from the user's favorite UP masters based on their viewing habits, bringing their "digital comfort food" right to them. On the HarmonyOS version of Bilibili, users can ask questions based on video content. For example, if the video shows the Faroe Islands, the user can ask: "XiaoYi, XiaoYi, does China have this kind of vertical cliff geographical structure?" Users can also ask XiaoYi to send bullet comments simply by saying, "XiaoYi, XiaoYi, send a bullet comment," and then stating the desired content, freeing their hands. After the video finishes, they can even ask XiaoYi to perform a one-click triple-like, giving the UP master coins.

Kingsoft Office: A Technology "Marathon" with the HarmonyOS Team

Jiang Zhiqiang, senior vice president of Kingsoft Office, reviewed the development process of the HarmonyOS version of WPS over the past year. He stated that after restructuring over 40 million lines of code and solving over 500 technical challenges, WPS has fully integrated into the HarmonyOS ecosystem. Features such as one-click login, cross-device copy-paste, and XiaoYi one-click PPT generation have been launched, providing efficient and convenient office experiences for millions of office users.

Thanks to HarmonyOS's "develop once, deploy across multiple devices" philosophy, the HarmonyOS version of WPS offers seamless switching and task continuation on phones, tablets, and computers, making full use of the advantages of different hardware and enabling cross-device collaboration in various scenarios to significantly improve work efficiency. Jiang Zhiqiang also teased the upcoming full integration of WPS AI with HarmonyOS intelligence, meaning that whether it's AI intelligent Q&A, or generating documents or PPTs, it can all be done on various devices within the HarmonyOS ecosystem, allowing every user to truly achieve "simple creation, easy expression."

Baidu: No Island in the AI Wave; Honored to be a HarmonyOS Partner

Chen Yifan, head of Baidu's Mobile Ecosystem Business System, announced the HarmonyOS exclusive launch of the "Baidu Watch Plan," which, through joint innovation with HarmonyOS, aims to transform the search bar into a gateway to the intelligent world. Through a three-layer restructuring of experience, content, and the ecosystem, it aims to bring users an "unforgettable" search experience. He gave an example of searching "three must-go scenic spots in Tengchong" on the Pura X via the Baidu app, where the AI will integrate information from across the web to directly provide the answer, offering a significantly more efficient search experience than before.

JD.com: Smarter, More Convenient, Shopping Has Never Been Easier

Since the HarmonyOS version of JD.com was launched last September, it has accumulated over 2.3 million downloads. Wan Peng, head of JD.com's HarmonyOS project, reviewed the development process of the HarmonyOS version of JD.com and its new experience on the Pura X. He said JD.com has been actively exploring innovative application scenarios for the HarmonyOS ecosystem, such as using XiaoYi suggestions for shopping cart price drops and new store product alerts, delivering proactive reminders of key information to significantly improve user shopping experience. Through intent framework integration, the HarmonyOS version of JD.com provides more accurate recommendations for better products, improving user shopping satisfaction.

On the Huawei Pura X, the HarmonyOS version of JD.com provides users with an immersive browsing experience and integrated seamless switching for smoother browsing. On the outer screen, the HarmonyOS version of JD.com integrates live window alerts, tap-to-share, and other features, making it easier for users to view information and share products. With the support of XiaoYi's intelligent agent, the HarmonyOS version makes online shopping smarter and simpler. Users can use their knuckles to circle a product and click "image search," allowing XiaoYi to intelligently identify the product and jump directly to the JD.com product details page. The HarmonyOS version of JD.com also supports one-click login using a Huawei account on multiple devices and has a universal card function, allowing users to directly view limited-time offers, real-time order logistics status, etc., on the phone interface without frequently switching apps.

DingTalk: Working Hand-in-Hand with HarmonyOS to Drive Progress

The HarmonyOS version of DingTalk is the first smart office application to surpass one million downloads. Zhao Jiayu, head of DingTalk's audio and video business unit, introduced that in addition to functions such as IM messaging, AI assistants, voice/video conferencing, calendars, Ding-a-Note, address books, OA approvals, and attendance, the HarmonyOS version of DingTalk has also achieved a series of innovations with HarmonyOS. For example, on the outer screen of the Huawei Pura X, DingTalk has pioneered immersive browsing, allowing users to experience smoother and more immersive browsing of chat lists, helping users focus on the message content itself. Users can initiate DingTalk video conferences directly from the outer screen, effectively improving work efficiency. On the inner screen, users can directly reply to messages in landscape mode or fully browse DingTalk documents. Watching live training courses in landscape mode is also more suitable. The HarmonyOS version of DingTalk also features XiaoYi's quick meeting scheduling, seamless cross-device meeting continuation, and suspended meeting features of HarmonyOS, and provides intelligent bilingual translation in 21 languages based on AI, while also providing enhanced security and control capabilities.

Baidu Netdisk, Dianping, and QQ Music, among other partners, also showcased their application adaptations within the HarmonyOS ecosystem through video presentations, and jointly called on industry partners to co-construct and share the HarmonyOS ecosystem.
