But in fact, it is unrealistic and unnecessary for HarmonyOS to directly replace Android. The development of cutting-edge technology depends on innovation rather than replication. Huawei is actually playing a big game of chess. Its goal is not the current opponent's operating system, but to define the future human lifestyle. This way of life is: the Internet of Everything. Then the problem is coming. What is the Internet of Everything? How will HarmonyOS realize it?
In daily life, everyone will come into contact with many devices and instruments. Now ordinary people have at least computers, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, rice cookers, microwave ovens, dishwashers, steamer and other household appliances, plus mobile phones and watches that they carry with them. We can easily find that these devices are separated from each other and the systems used are completely different. So when we use these devices, we all need to operate them through the instructions.
If we want to play games, we either use mobile phones or computers. But the biggest screen in many people's homes is TV. If you put your mobile phone or computer on the TV, it will be more troublesome to operate, and more importantly, there will be a delay and the user experience will be very bad. Similarly, if we want to use mobile phones to operate other electrical appliances at home, it is also very laborious. The current solution is to connect home appliances to wifi, and then use the mobile app to operate. The whole operation process is very unwise.
For example, if you want to cook a dish in a steaming oven, you need a mobile phone to search the menu and cooking process, and then go to the vegetable market to buy food. When you get home, put the dishes in the steaming oven and set the time according to the instructions. The whole process is so complicated that many people who don't really want to cook are discouraged.
So, some people think, if we can make mobile phones and all devices efficiently interconnected. Cooking is the same. The steaming oven directly gives instructions to the APP on the mobile phone to buy food and sends the order to the home. When we get home, we prompt to cook. We prepare food according to the recipe and put it in the oven, which automatically sets the time according to the recipe. When the food is ready, we will send a notice to the mobile phone. In the whole process, we only need to wash the food and put it in the steaming oven, and the rest don't need to be operated. Isn't this very time-saving? This is also more intelligent, and the way of Internet of Everything is also considered by the technology giants as the future human lifestyle.
However, if you want to connect your mobile phone with all the devices you use, there will be many obstacles. The first obstacle is communication technology, and the second obstacle is the low-delay and efficient connection of everything.
In the 4G era, as long as there are more than 2,000 networked devices within a square kilometer, it is easy to get stuck, so the 4G era does not allow us to realize the Internet of Everything. In the 5G era, in the same square kilometer, the number of equipment can be increased to 654.38+00,000.
Therefore, there is a consensus in the scientific and technological circles that in the future, people and things, things and things can be widely connected through information sensors, radio frequency identification technology, global positioning system, infrared sensors, laser scanners and other equipment and technologies, and everything can be connected through the Internet to realize the interconnection of the earth, people, things and computers at any time. This "network" is also called the Internet of Things.
5G only solves the problem of communication technology. In order to realize the real interconnection of everything, low-latency and efficient connection between devices is also needed. To solve this problem, the first point is to let all devices share a system. Both Google and Apple are trying to provide solutions. Among them, Google launched the "Fuchsia OS" system, which is not very mature at present. Huawei launched HarmonyOS System.
At present, Huawei's HarmonyOS system goes further than Google's Fuchsia OS system. In addition, Huawei also proposed the way of interconnection. For users, information can be transmitted only by lightly touching devices such as mobile phones, and the delay is also very low, only about 10 millisecond. In the future, the development team of HarmonyOS will try to reduce this delay speed as much as possible. In this respect, HarmonyOS is ahead of his opponent.
Therefore, HarmonyOS's opponents are actually not Android, they are two completely different sets of underlying logic. However, Huawei's current rivals are still Google and Apple, and they are fighting for who will finally define the underlying logic of the future human lifestyle. Microsoft completed the operating system in the PC era, making Microsoft the absolute king of the PC era.
Apple and Android have completed the operating systems from the PC era to the mobile Internet era, becoming the absolute kings of the mobile Internet era.
In the first two wars without smoke, no China enterprise participated in the war, let alone made any achievements. China enterprises have been doing well in hardware, and there are many world-class mobile phone manufacturers, but the software is always a soft spot, and it is easy to get stuck.
Today, from the era of mobile Internet to the era of Internet of Everything, Huawei can be said to be at the forefront of the times. However, it is still in the early stage of the Internet of Everything era, and we still can't know who will eventually become the king of this era. However, I hope that in the next transformation, HarmonyOS Systems and other scientific and technological enterprises in China will finally win a place.
