Huawei's HarmonyOS Ecosystem Explodes: HarmonyOS 5 Ushers in Terminal Revolution, HarmonyOS PC Arriving in May!

Huawei's Pura Pioneer Ceremony and HarmonyOS Smart Travel new product launch event concluded successfully on March 20th, showcasing a series of significant new products and marking the entry of Huawei's HarmonyOS ecosystem into a new phase of rapid development. The event not only unveiled the Huawei PuraX, the first phone to fully utilize HarmonyOS 5, but also foreshadowed the official launch of the HarmonyOS PC in May, promising transformative opportunities for the PC industry.

Huawei PuraX: A Wide-folding New Form, Powered by HarmonyOS 5 for a Brand New Experience

The Huawei PuraX, the first phone fully equipped with HarmonyOS 5, stands out with its innovative "wide-folding" design. This phone features a 6.3-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio inner screen with a resolution of 2120x1320, supporting a 1-120Hz LTPO 2.0 adaptive refresh rate, a peak brightness of 2500 nits, HDR Vivid high dynamic display, and 1440Hz PWM dimming, delivering an exceptional visual experience. Folded, the 3.5-inch, 1:1 outer screen boasts a 980x980 resolution and the same refresh rate as the inner screen, providing convenient everyday usability.

The wide screen design gives the Huawei PuraX a significant advantage in content consumption: the viewable area for short videos is increased by 40%, while the display area for images and text is increased by 60%. This innovative form factor also brings a new application experience. For example, the Huawei PuraX debuts an AI outer screen, giving the Xiaoyi assistant a new interaction method. Users can engage in immersive conversations with Xiaoyi through a new breathing visual effect.

HarmonyOS 5 enhances the Huawei PuraX with numerous improvements. For example, the Huawei Reading app features a unique "AI Eye Tracking Page Turn" function, automatically turning pages based on eye movement, freeing up hands and improving reading efficiency.

Deep Ecosystem Partner Adaptation Unleashes HarmonyOS 5 Potential

The launch of the Huawei PuraX not only showcases the powerful features of HarmonyOS 5 but also highlights the active adaptation of HarmonyOS ecosystem partners to the new device form. Numerous apps have been deeply optimized for the Huawei PuraX, providing users with a superior experience.

In gaming, the performance of "Honor of Kings" on the Huawei PuraX is particularly impressive. The 16:10 widescreen provides players with an earlier view of enemies for precise targeting; the two-finger operation area has also been improved, making combo operations smoother. "Candy Crush Saga" utilizes the large wide screen to enlarge in-game elements, making clicking and clearing easier and more eye-protective; "Subway Surfers" increases the left and right hand gesture operation space by 10%, maximizing game smoothness; and "QQ Speed" offers a wider field of vision for a more immersive racing experience. Notably, classic mobile games such as "Candy Crush Saga," "Subway Surfers," and "Snake.io" support instant play from the Huawei PuraX outer screen, allowing users to enjoy gaming anytime, anywhere.

In the office realm, the HarmonyOS versions of Baidu, WPS, and DingTalk have all undergone deep adaptation for the Huawei PuraX. The HarmonyOS Baidu app efficiently integrates search results using AI, simplifying user search paths; the HarmonyOS WPS version improves visual display by 30%, providing a wider field of view and deeply optimizing multi-device collaboration capabilities; and the HarmonyOS DingTalk app delivers an immersive browsing experience, allowing users to initiate video conferences on the outer screen while utilizing the inner screen for large-screen office work, enabling seamless multi-device switching. JinShan Office Senior Vice President Jiang Zhiqiang stated that to achieve deep integration between WPS and HarmonyOS, JinShan Office restructured over 40 million lines of code and solved over 500 technical challenges.

In the life services sector, leading apps such as the HarmonyOS versions of Dianping, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and iQiyi have also been adapted for the Huawei PuraX, providing a more convenient experience. For example, on the HarmonyOS versions of Douyin, iQiyi, and Xiaohongshu, the display area for vertical videos has increased by 40%, providing a more immersive viewing experience; regarding information browsing, the display area of images in news apps such as Xuexi Qiangguo, People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, Tencent News, Sina News, Zhihu, and Baidu has increased by 60%.

Flourishing HarmonyOS Ecosystem: Data Demonstrates Strength

Data from the launch event also confirms the flourishing development of the HarmonyOS ecosystem. Since the public beta began last October, the HarmonyOS system has received over 4 million pieces of user feedback, undergone over 30 iterations, and added over 150 new features. HarmonyOS apps on the app market now fully cover 18 major fields, with over 2 million downloads for more than 20 apps including WeChat, Douyin, Alipay, Gaode Map, and JD.com. The Huawei Developer Alliance has registered over 7.2 million developers.

HarmonyOS PC: Arriving in May, Ushering in a New Chapter for the PC Industry

At the launch event, Huawei's Executive Director Yu Chengdong officially announced that the HarmonyOS PC will be unveiled in May. On the Huawei HarmonyOS developer website design guide, the "HarmonyOS PC version" page layout has appeared, with adapted applications covering categories such as audio-visual, social, photography, reading, shopping, finance, lifestyle, and travel.

The arrival of the HarmonyOS PC is expected to break down the barriers between traditional Windows desktop systems and other mobile operating systems. Leveraging the distributed technology advantages of the HarmonyOS system, it aims to achieve multi-terminal collaboration in the era of the Internet of Everything, bringing a crucial productivity breakthrough to the PC industry. While application ecosystem development remains a major challenge for the HarmonyOS PC, based on the rapid development of the HarmonyOS system in the mobile field, we are confident in its future. Furthermore, the HarmonyOS PC aligns with the trend of domestic substitution, and its multi-device collaboration capabilities, security, stability, cross-platform compatibility, and scalability will provide ample room for development.

Conclusion: The Future of the HarmonyOS Ecosystem

Since its debut in 2019, HarmonyOS has undergone multiple major version iterations, becoming one of the fastest-growing intelligent terminal operating systems in history. As HarmonyOS 5 continues to expand its application to more terminal products and provides users with a smoother, more secure, convenient, and efficient experience, it will drive the continued prosperity of the HarmonyOS ecosystem. This will further solidify Huawei's position in the smart device market and create more value and surprises for users. The future of the HarmonyOS ecosystem is worth anticipating, and this is inseparable from the joint efforts of partners and developers.
