Is HarmonyOS an Android case? Why should HarmonyOS be compatible with Android?

The debate about HarmonyOS's system has been heated up. Some people are ignorant, some people fish in troubled waters ... all kinds of people are very strange. At first, there were many articles and popular science about HarmonyOS system on the Internet. As a non-professional follower, I don't want to step on thunder, but I really can't stand all kinds of chaotic and biased voices. As far as I know, I hope to talk about it simply and clearly from the perspective of personal cognition, and I hope to have a clear understanding of the Internet of Everything system that really cares about China and Huawei.

Next, I will mainly talk about whether HarmonyOS is the most controversial Android case, and why HarmonyOS is compatible with Android APP since it is not an Android case.

Is HarmonyOS an Android case?

The above picture includes the past lives and interrelationships of the existing mobile phone system. Before Huawei introduced the HarmonyOS system, there was a Symbian system made by Nokia, but it didn't survive. Now Android and Apple dominate the mobile phone system. It can be seen that HarmonyOS and Android are both developed on the basis of Linux open source, which belong to the same level, so there is no such thing as a shell.

The two mobile phones in the picture above are mine. After upgrading to HarmonyOS system, the boot screen is different. If it is based on Android, the boot screen must have Android English. This also shows that HarmonyOS and Android are independent systems based on Linux. Different from OPPO based on Android, VIVO, MIUI of Xiaomi, and EMUI before Huawei, they * * * have the same feature that the UI is transformed based on Android, and the boot screen has Android English, which cannot be called a mobile phone system.

Also based on Linux, HarmonyOS is a microkernel and Android is a macro kernel. Problems in the microkernel will not affect each other, but will not lead to system crash, and the macro kernel will crash.

HarmonyOS system is not just a mobile phone system, it is higher than Android and Apple systems, and it is forward-looking for the Internet of Everything. Some people say that Android and Apple can also connect with PC, computer and TV. Still, there are essential differences. Android and Apple need to install APP as a medium to achieve interoperability. Delay, jam and HarmonyOS systems have no advantages. If the devices are installed with HarmonyOS system, they can be directly interconnected without installing APP, which is simple, convenient and quick.

Besides, since HarmonyOS is not an Android case, why should it be compatible with Android APP?

This question is easy to answer. As can be seen from the first picture, in terms of market share and research and development time, Android and Apple have indisputably occupied the mobile phone system market. At the earliest, there was Nokia's Saipan. Later, Ali and China Mobile both had their own systems, not to mention wavering. Finally, they could not survive and disappeared.

Why is this happening? One is the early research and development time, and long-term continuous investment in transformation and upgrading. Another huge market share and a complete and mature system ecology. The newborn system is faced with the non-ecology, no market share and immaturity of the newborn system. The public's choice will be clear at a glance, and the survival probability is more difficult than a narrow escape.

HarmonyOS system developed late, and its shortcomings are obvious. The advantage of backwardness is a lesson from the past. Huawei has already made EMUI based on Android. It knows Android like the back of its hand and has its own huge customer base. Another preliminary layout of HarmonyOS system takes into account the difficulties in developing new user groups and ecological construction. Facing the mobile phone system and ecological environment that Android and Apple have completely occupied. Huawei HarmonyOS Systems has made two preparations for the breakthrough. On the one hand, through the previous Android UI and linux-based * * *, you can use Ark compiler compatible with Android APP as an excessive customer base and seamlessly transfer to HarmonyOS system. In this way, we can upgrade to the HarmonyOS system without affecting the customer experience, and keep the customer base before establishing a complete and mature ecosystem, in exchange for time to gradually replace the Android APP and replace it with a mature HarmonyOS system ecosystem. It will avoid the negative problems that affect the experience brought by hastily changing the HarmonyOS system without an ecosystem and an immature ecosystem, and increase the chances of survival and development. On the other hand, Android Apple completely dominates the mobile phone system, which is extremely difficult to play. Continue to upgrade the customer's HarmonyOS system, first develop a compatible Android APP, stabilize the customer base, and gradually develop its own mature ecological replacement; Then Huawei's 1+8+N strategy. This 1 is a mobile phone, and 8 is a PC, computer, car, TV and other equipment. HarmonyOS system is installed, and the mobile phone HarmonyOS system is linked, and then more devices are linked through these eight subsystems, so as to realize the Internet of Everything. In the past, mobile phones were the key. After being sanctioned, Huawei has been weak in expanding the mobile phone market, and the increase is not as good as before. Therefore, we must skip the key 1 and start to develop synchronously from the following 8, which can greatly increase the market share of HarmonyOS system equipment. More market share means more experiences and advertisements, and then it develops steadily. This is also for survival and development.

After answering the two questions, let's talk about digression and some feelings after upgrading my mobile phone to HarmonyOS system.

After upgrading the HarmonyOS system, the mobile phone feels that the screen vision is more transparent and smooth than before, and the power consumption has not changed. Many convenient new functions have also been added.

As we all know, the United States and China fought a trade war for two years, with ZTE bearing the brunt. Because ZTE received huge compensation, the US regulatory authorities entered the supervision and barely survived. Then Meng Wanzhou was illegally detained in Canada, and Huawei did not agree to the conditions, which led to the protracted Meng Wanzhou case, from the initial sanctions against Huawei to comprehensive sanctions. The U.S. single-handedly suppressed a high-tech company in China, which has demonstrated the strength and deserved reputation of Huawei, a Fortune 500 technology company. Those who say that the HarmonyOS system studied by Huawei is "deceptive" are really ignorant or have ulterior motives. We must resolutely fight back, and we must not let them confuse the audience, fish in troubled waters and mislead public opinion. As one of the world's top 500 technology companies, Huawei has been hard to be suppressed by the United States, but it has not shaken the will and indomitable spirit of Huawei people to make progress, risking a narrow escape, and going forward bravely, in order to prevent China from paying high patent fees and being subject to people everywhere. People always say that HarmonyOS system is a joke. Why do so many developed countries in the world only have Android and Apple? This shows the difficulty of research and development, and indirectly proves the strength and technological content of Huawei HarmonyOS system. Foreigners dare not joke or fart. Where did your doubts come from? HarmonyOS system is geared to the world, not a stunt of individuals or companies. Can a Fortune 500 company like Huawei joke about its reputation or even its life? In such a world environment, the birth of HarmonyOS system is doomed to be difficult. It needs growth and tempering, tolerance, time and the support of the objective public. After all, it is our country's own business. I will definitely support Huawei and HarmonyOS, and I believe it will get better and better, on an equal footing with Android and Apple in the world, and even surpass them!
