[Pacific Technology News] Recently, Zhou Hongyi, chairman of 360 Company, publicly stated on the short video platform that he firmly believes that Huawei’s Hongmeng open source (os) will be successful. He gave three reasons, including learning from past experiences and lessons learned from iOS and Android, optimizing system performance, and gaining the trust of application developers.

is first. Zhou Hongyi pointed out that Hongmeng system has learned from the experiences and lessons of iOS and Android in the past ten years. Hongmeng is fully prepared in terms of underlying file systems, performance debugging, and front-end development tools. This makes the functions of Hongmeng operating system very complete once it is launched, especially the abandonment of the Java virtual machine used by Android. He believes that the Java virtual machine was a last resort choice in the early days of Android. This resulted in the fact that even though the CPU and computing power of the Android system were strong, the performance of its front-end applications was not high.

In contrast, Hongmeng OS allows application development to use data-driven to describe the interface, similar to using lightweight js to describe the back-end functions of the front-end system, or using languages ​​such as C++ to directly compile into machine code for execution. The tuning of the entire system is also very good. According to Zhou Hongyi's estimation, Hongmeng's performance is 30% higher than Android under the same conditions.

Secondly, Android, as an open source system, lacked a clear development direction in the early stages of its launch, resulting in serious application fragmentation, excessive application permissions, and no strict control mechanism like iOS. This causes various applications in the Android system to potentially slow down performance. The Hongmeng system has made significant improvements in this regard, including WeChat, which will also accept Hongmeng’s background process management mechanism and message push mechanism. This makes Hongmeng’s ability to control application behavior equivalent to that of iOS, resulting in an iOS-like smooth experience.

Zhou Hongyi also emphasized the third reason for Hongmeng’s success—the ecosystem. Hongmeng has gained support from all applications in China almost overnight, including 360 Browser, AI Search and AI Browser will all be fully compatible with Hongmeng. This shows that Hongmeng is not a completely new operating system. In the past few years, Hongmeng has won the trust of application developers through dual-system parallelism. Coupled with the leading position of Huawei and Honor mobile phones in the domestic market, Zhou Hongyi predicts that Hongmeng will once again become the leader of the Chinese mobile phone market in the next 2 to 3 years.

With the continuous optimization of Hongmeng system and the growth of the ecosystem, we have reason to believe that Hongmeng will become the third largest mobile operating system comparable to iOS and Android, bringing users a smoother and more convenient experience. We are looking forward to beta testing the harmonyos next client in August this year.
