Shenzhen, China - October 22, 2024: Huawei, a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, has officially launched its homegrown mobile operating system, HarmonyOS NEXT. This marks a significant milestone for China's technology industry, as it becomes the world's third major mobile operating system, following Apple's iOS and Google's Android.

Breaking New Ground in Operating Systems

HarmonyOS NEXT represents a major breakthrough in operating system technology. It is fully Independent Research and Development, enhancing system smoothness, performance, and security features, and achieving self-sufficiency and control over the OS. This launch signifies China's capability to compete in the global OS market with its own proprietary technology.

Enhanced Support for Car Machines

The new HarmonyOS NEXT comes with improved support for car machines, aiming to create a seamless "person-car-home" smart travel experience. The built-in HiCar feature has been upgraded to offer a brand new desktop design, music/navigation function interaction, and a distributed architecture that achieves zero modification to the car machine side code. The new HiCar also optimizes the connection process, enhancing the core experience by 30%, and supports smart multi-window/application split screen, new voice interaction, and seamless flow of mobile car machine applications/notifications.

Huawei has also signed an agreement with Great Wall Motors to become one of the first automakers to receive in-depth development resources such as the HUAWEI HiCar product source code and development tools. This collaboration indicates Huawei's commitment to not only software development but also to working closely with automotive manufacturers to advance smart vehicle solutions.

The Future of Smart Mobility

With the official launch of HarmonyOS NEXT, Huawei has taken a giant step forward in the global technology competition and has set the stage for further development in the smart vehicle sector. This new operating system promises a more intelligent, smooth, and secure experience for car machine systems, indicating a bright future for China's progress in the field of intelligent automobiles.
