On October 22nd at 7:00 PM, the original HarmonyOS Night and Huawei's all-scenario new product launch conference kicked off in Shenzhen, themed "The stars are shining, let's see HarmonyOS together. The launch focused on the latest advancements and future plans for HarmonyOS NEXT (the native Harmony operating system) and showcased Huawei's latest achievements in operating systems and smart hardware. This is expected to create another wave of excitement in the tech industry.

HarmonyOS NEXT, an operating system developed independently by Huawei, completely abandons the Linux kernel and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). This allows for greater autonomy and control while deeply integrating AI technology to enhance system security. According to Huawei, HarmonyOS NEXT is set to be commercially launched in the fourth quarter of 2024.

At this year's Huawei Developer Conferencein June, HarmonyOS NEXT underwent its largest upgrade to date, with a comprehensive renewal across various aspects, including the kernel, file system, and AI framework. On October 8th, Huawei opened public testing applications for HarmonyOS NEXT, and applications from internet giants like Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu have already gone live. Yu Chengdong, Huawei Terminal BG CEO, stated, "We are making every effort to promote native Harmony applications, and over 1,500 popular applications have now been launched."

Besides, Huawei launched a native application developer incentive program, offering developers rewards of up to one million yuan in cash and five million yuan in traffic incentives. As of October 12th, hundreds of thousands of users have participated in the public testing of HarmonyOS NEXT. Mr. Chen, a user from Guangzhou, stated that the upgraded system runs smoothly, with core functions like WeChat and Alipay fully supported, and the privacy protection features are also significantly improved.

Gong Ti, President of Huawei Terminal BG Software Department, anticipates that by the end of this year, the number of native Harmony applications will exceed 100,000, further enhancing the ecosystem. Telecom expert Ma Jihua believes that with the launch of HarmonyOS for PC, HarmonyOS NEXT is likely to establish a three-way competition alongside iOS and Android, collectively driving transformation in the operating system market.

华为“原生鸿蒙之夜”今晚开启，用户期待新功能上线

10月22日19:00，华为在深圳举办“原生鸿蒙之夜暨华为全场景新品发布会”，主题为“星河璀璨，共见鸿蒙”。发布会重点介绍了HarmonyOS NEXT（原生鸿蒙操作系统）的最新进展及未来规划，并展示了华为在操作系统和智能硬件领域的最新成果，预计再次掀起科技热潮。

HarmonyOS NEXT作为华为自主研发的操作系统，完全抛弃了Linux内核和安卓开源项目（AOSP），在实现自主可控的同时，深度融合AI技术，提升了系统安全性。根据华为计划，HarmonyOS NEXT将于2024年第四季度投入商用。

在今年6月的华为开发者大会上，HarmonyOS NEXT迎来了迄今最大规模的升级，从内核、文件系统到AI框架等多个方面实现了全面焕新。10月8日，华为开放了HarmonyOS NEXT的公测申请，腾讯、阿里和百度等互联网巨头的应用已纷纷上线。华为终端BG董事长余承东表示：“我们正在全力推进鸿蒙原生应用，目前已有超过1500款热门应用完成上架。”

与此同时，华为还发布了原生应用开发者激励计划，开发者可获得高达百万现金和500万流量的激励。截至10月12日，已有数十万用户参与HarmonyOS NEXT的公测体验，广州用户陈先生表示，升级后的系统运行流畅，核心功能如微信、支付宝已全面支持，隐私保护功能也更加完善。

华为终端BG软件部总裁龚体预计，到今年年底，原生鸿蒙应用将突破10万款，生态系统将进一步完善。电信专家马继华认为，随着鸿蒙PC端的推出，HarmonyOS NEXT有望与iOS和安卓形成三足鼎立，共同推动操作系统市场的变革。
