Huawei is finally preparing to introduce the HarmonyOS Next version, which it has been developing for a long time, to users. The company announced that the commercial version of the software will be introduced on October 22. The Nova 13 series is expected to be released on the same date. HarmonyOS Next stands out as an important part of Huawei’s big goals in the software field. This new operating system will completely abandon support for the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and Android applications and will be offered to users with codes and applications developed by Huawei itself.
Huawei released the developer version of HarmonyOS Next last summer. Since then, the company’s software department has been working hard to create a broad ecosystem of applications and services to accommodate users. According to recent reports, HarmonyOS Next supports more than 10 thousand applications and services. This is a sign that Huawei will offer a wide range of options to its users in the transition to its own ecosystem.
While HarmonyOS Next is quite similar in appearance to the current HarmonyOS version, the biggest difference is the lack of ability to run Android codes and apps. The new operating system runs on a microkernel-based operating system developed by Huawei and uses the OpenHarmony open source kernel structure.
The system supports applications via Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) and Ark Compiler, and promises to offer a seamless architecture between HarmonyOS Next devices and the cloud. It will also strengthen the user experience by ensuring high connectivity and compatibility between different types of devices.
Huawei takes an important step with HarmonyOS Next
It can easily be said that HarmonyOS Next is an important step towards Huawei’s goal of building a future based on its own ecosystem. This new version, which completely eliminates the dependence on Android, means that Huawei will offer strong integration on both software and hardware sides. HarmonyOS Next looks set to play an important role in the company’s global market strategy by ensuring users have a seamless experience across devices. The launch, which will be held on October 22, is eagerly awaited in terms of Huawei’s software future.
