HarmonyOS Next Developer Preview To Start During First Quarter 2024

Huawei announced plans to release the new HarmonyOS NEXT developer preview version to all developers in the first quarter of this year. Additionally, a significant HarmonyOS event is scheduled for January 18th, where Huawei will unveil new advancements in the HarmonyOS ecosystem and HarmonyOS NEXT.

Yu Chengdong, a senior executive at Huawei, has previously stated that this year will be a pivotal one for HarmonyOS. The focus will be on accelerating the development of various HarmonyOS native applications and winning the critical battles of technological foundation and third-party ecosystem development. He emphasized the importance of building a strong HarmonyOS ecosystem through technological, product, and business model innovations to drive the rise of China’s electronics industry.

For users eagerly awaiting the pure version of HarmonyOS, the wait is finally over. Touted as a system capable of rivaling iOS, HarmonyOS NEXT will mark a clear distinction from Android. The new HarmonyOS NEXT is entirely self-developed, removing traditional Linux kernel and Android Open Source Project codes, and will only support HarmonyOS kernel and applications.

Testing has shown that HarmonyOS NEXT no longer supports Android applications. Attempting to open Android APK files results in a message stating that the file cannot be opened. This development has led to HarmonyOS NEXT being referred to as “pure HarmonyOS,” signifying that it is no longer just a rebranded version of Android.

In preparation for the new system’s arrival, several companies have already announced adaptations for HarmonyOS, laying a solid foundation for its launch. Huawei’s future goals for HarmonyOS NEXT are ambitious. The strategy involves more than just separating from the dual-framework system; it encompasses an “All in” approach to fully develop its ecosystem by integrating HarmonyOS with XingShan (Star Flash).

In conclusion, HarmonyOS NEXT represents a significant step for Huawei in establishing its independent operating system and ecosystem, differentiating itself from Android and moving towards a new era of technological innovation.
