As we have told you this morning, Huawei is in full celebration of the HDC. In this conference some of the most important news for the future of the Chinese company are taking place. We have seen all the news that will come with the final version of EMUI 11, although Huawei has also offered details on the HarmonyOS 2.0 roadmap, which is intended to be an important step in independence from Google.
In the world of smartphones, the main players are mobile phones with Android and Apple iPhones with iOS. It seems that no one had considered that a third mobile operating system could overshadow these two platforms, but Huawei has been forced to move tab and accelerate the HarmonyOS project, given the veto imposed by the United States and that prevents them from integrating the Google apps on your new smartphones.
Dependence on Google
Huawei has been running two key machines for months. The first aims to convince the user that there is life beyond Google, that AppGallery will soon be as powerful as Google Play and that there may be alternative apps to Google Maps, Gmail or Google Photos. However, Mountain View apps are so ingrained in the daily lives of Western users that the challenge within the company is as exciting as it is complicated and terrifying.
On mobiles from 2021
Huawei has HarmonyOS as the best bet to replace Google’s Android operating system in Huawei phones from 2021. It was Richard Yu who confirmed it at the annual developer conference. In addition, Huawei plans to open a beta of HarmonyOS 2.0 at the end of this 2020, specifically during the month of December . The platform is conceived as a multi-device software that will have security and privacy by flag, also allowing total integration between different devices such as televisions, smartwatches, PCs and the mobiles themselves. Huawei has detailed that from today, the open source project supports devices from 128KB to 128MB of RAM, while devices with more RAM (where the mobile division comes in) will be operational between the months of April and October 2021.
The questions
However, many questions remain in the air. We know that the novelty may be well received in China, where dependence on Google apps is almost nil. However, Huawei must save the stumbling block from the opposite in its western audience, where the return rate of some terminals has increased as never before when the user turns on their mobile and does not find a trace of Google, however easy it may be to install these apps.
