May 19, 2019 Google has announced that Huawei he forbade. The company Google could not offer services and applications in its future phones, and many of us feel the same.
Huawei it seemed to perish.
The intercept is part of a series of measurements A trade war between the US and ChinaThe missile was moving in water. Then there was Huawei to catch up and surpass Apple and Samsung Smartphone in global sales, but that blow seemed fatal.
and sales to plummet even in his country of origin, China. There were few escape routes.but little by little society, which do not failthey took care of the show themselves. Huawei was born from a sparkand by overcoming that Western interference, he made his affairs most complicated.
He had a major factor in his favor: China. The Asian giant has become the absolute focus of Huawei’s smartphone business, and government support it was coupled with marking strategic decisions that always sought the same thing: depending only on themselves.
That war mentions Applewhich in recent years has demonstrated its obsession with high power products both in the field of software and hardware. The Cupertino company has removed external dependencies from its mobile phones and computers, and this has allowed it to have an absolute balance of its ecosystem.
Never see you again, Android
Huawei seems to be approaching the same stone, and it was one of the keys launch of HarmonyOS NEXT. This operating system is evolving HarmonyOSwhich in previous versions is still based on AOSP, the open source version of Android that anyone can use… but which does not include Google services and applications (including Gmail, YouTube, Maps or the Play Store).
The new Huawei Mate 70 are promised bets and not only hardware: first they are prepared to be used with HarmonyOS THEN.
however The HarmonyOS NOW operating system was created from scratch, 100% own and this will be the goal of the entire ecosystem adopted by Huawei devices. Not only mobile phones, but also tablets, smart watches and even casinos.
HarmonyOS Next is not provided with Android applications. Instead, it uses executables developed specifically for that platform and which also support Huawei’s so-called mobile devices (HMS). The number of applications is very modest (15,000), but if everything is as it seems, that number will grow rapidly in the coming months.
This will be helped by the fact that China is a lot of China. The Asian giant seems to have accepted this renewed Huawei with open arms, and in just one year its market share it went from 4% to 17% in that region. He also overcame Lake.
The strong demand for its inventions is likely to create developers as well switched to a new operating systemand it will be interesting to see if Western services and companies will end up launching their products for HarmonyOS NEXT and its ecosystem. The first terminals were prepared to be launched using this operating system: the Huawei Mate 70 and his relatives Mate X6 They have created great expectations.
Neither Microsoft nor Samsung succeeded
Huawei has managed to do something that no other company has achieved in recent years. The Apple-Google duopoly of the mobility industry has managed to dominate this market, but it is true that in the past things have been trying to change.
There are many examples, but the most famous is certainly Microsoft in Windows Phone and Samsung with Tizen. Each of them lays on a finished towel.but others such as Board, Sailfish or Firefox OS. Attempts to display options always hit, but after a while they hit the same wall: the inertia of iOS and Android were strong.
Neither Microsoft, nor Samsung, nor the rest offered anything essentially better, and the maturity of these ecosystems caused both users and developers to create a vicious circle: apps were on Android and iOS because users were there, and vice versa. It was a difficult thing to contend with.
But there is no inertia with HarmonyOS MOX. Google took the plunge. It is true that many manufacturers in China continue to use Android terminals, but Huawei sets a unique future for success for the world of mobility, especially there.
It is unknown if Huawei will try to abandon its borders with this operating system, but it certainly seems like a reasonable move. They currently put their terminals – even modern ones – on EMUI, but it will be interesting to see what the company decides on this matter.
Meanwhile, one thing is clear: the launch of HarmonyOS NEXT distinguishing marks in the mobility portion. It is already doing this in China: we will see if it ends up doing it in the rest of the world.
