Chinese telecom giant Huawei introduced the latest version of its HarmonyOS, a system for various smart devices, on Wednesday. The new HarmonyOS 3 system supports 12 different device types as the firm ambitiously looks to build its own closed-off ecosystem like Apple’s.
Why it matters: HarmonyOS, a Huawei-developed system originating from open-source projects, has amassed 300 million users since its launch in 2019. The third generation comes with more powerful features that connect different devices with one system while adding new local services such as a ride-hailing app.
Details: A key highlight of Huawei’s new operating system is a significant update of its cross-device integration feature called “Super Terminal.” HarmonyOS 3 is already open for public testing and will see a full rollout in September.
Context: In April, Huawei changed the name of its Consumer Business unit to Terminal Business, aiming to expand its focus from customer-facing business to enterprise and government businesses. The new HarmonyOS, along with new devices built with it, is part of this push to better serve customers with a variety of Huawei devices.
