Tech giant Huawei has set its sights on a huge slice of the global smartphone market, announcing ambitious plans for its homegrown operating system, HarmonyOS.
What’s the big goal?
Huawei wants HarmonyOS to power a third of all smartphones worldwide. That’s a massive jump from its current share, signalling the company’s push to reduce reliance on Android and compete head-on with giants like Apple and Google.
Why HarmonyOS?
Since US trade restrictions limited Huawei’s access to Google services, the company has accelerated development of its own OS. HarmonyOS is designed to work across devices—from phones to tablets, smartwatches, and even home appliances—creating a seamless ecosystem for users.
How will they pull it off?
Huawei plans to expand HarmonyOS by collaborating with other device makers, encouraging them to adopt the platform. The company is also investing heavily in developer support to grow its app gallery and make the OS more appealing globally.
What’s at stake?
If successful, this move could shake up the mobile OS duopoly of Android and iOS. It would also strengthen Huawei’s position in the tech world, especially in markets like China, Europe, and emerging economies.
