Huawei ’s Android-free OS hasn’t even been launched yet (though it was announced ), and it has already crossed the 10,000 apps mark . This is something Huawei confirmed in China quite recently , via a press release. Huawei’s Android-free OS already counts 10,000 apps and it didn’t even launch yet In the press release, Huawei said that these apps and services span 18 vertical domains, and meet 99.
9% of users’ needs. Huawei did not share any details on those ‘verticals’, though. It’s not exactly a secret that many companies partnered up with Huawei in China to prepare apps for the upcoming operating system.
Huawei wants to offer its users a really solid library of apps before making the change. The OS in question is called HarmonyOS NEXT; by the way. In order to ensure that there are quite a few apps available, Huawei invested a lot of cash.
The company allocated 6 billion yuan ($851 million) annually in order to attract developers...
well, allegedly. There are over 6.75 million registered developers on the Huawei Developer Programs as a result.
It remains to be seen when will HarmonyOS NEXT launch globally Now, while HarmonyOS NEXT is expected to launch in China very soon, we’re not sure when we’ll see it on a global scale . Huawei is expected to make the change globally too, but the switch could be a lot more complicated. Global users have different app needs, and there are a lot more global companies to consider.
It remains to be seen what is Huawei’s plan on that front. Huawei actually managed to grow quite a bit in the first half of this year, by the way. The company’s year-on-year revenue increased by 34.
3%. Things are looking up for the Chinese tech giant. The company also recently announced the world’s very first tri-fold smartphone and that device managed to attract a lot of attention towards Huawei.
We’ve actually had the chance to use it a bit quite recently ..
