At 14:30 on February 22, Huawei hosted a highly anticipated product launch event, unveiling the latest innovation in its flagship small folding device lineup—the Huawei Pocket 2. During the conference, Huawei’s Executive Director, Yu Chengdong, made a significant announcement: the next major HarmonyOS release is set to arrive this fall, promising enhanced user experience across devices, including the Huawei Pocket 2.
The Evolution of HarmonyOS
Since its initial launch in 2019, HarmonyOS has revolutionized smart device interactions with its user-centric approach. In August 2023, Huawei introduced HarmonyOS 4 at the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC.Together), marking another milestone in its journey. Over the past four years, HarmonyOS has successfully built a cutting-edge smart ecosystem, improving connectivity and efficiency for millions of users worldwide.
He Gang, COO of Huawei Device BG, highlighted the impact of HarmonyOS 3, stating that its user experience enhancements contributed to an increase in the system upgrade rate from 77% in HarmonyOS 2 to 85%. The operating system continues to lead innovation in four key areas: distributed technology, meta-services, security, and seamless performance. HarmonyOS 4 further advanced this vision, delivering a more intelligent and personalized experience to its growing user base.
HarmonyOS NEXT: A Game-Changer in Mobile Applications
In September 2023, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, confirmed that the next-generation HarmonyOS, named HarmonyOS NEXT, is on the horizon. This update represents a historic transformation in the mobile application ecosystem, focusing on native applications that enhance speed, intelligence, and security.
The success of HarmonyOS 4 demonstrated the growing demand for Huawei’s proprietary OS. Within just over a month of its release, more than 60 million users upgraded to the latest version, making it the fastest-adopted HarmonyOS update in history. To further accelerate innovation, Huawei has trained millions of HarmonyOS developers and committed billions of dollars in funding to support partners across 18 key application sectors. These investments aim to provide consumers with an unparalleled, smooth, intelligent, and secure HarmonyOS experience.
What to Expect from HarmonyOS’s Next Major Update
With the upcoming HarmonyOS release in fall 2024, Huawei users can expect groundbreaking advancements in performance, AI-powered functionalities, and seamless device integration. As the tech giant continues to push the boundaries of smart ecosystems, HarmonyOS is set to redefine the future of mobile operating systems, offering a truly intelligent and interonnected experience.
