Already the second-largest mobile operating system in China as of early 2024, Huawei launched the HarmonyOS 5.0 recently in mid-October 2024. With the global smartphone operating system market being __previously primarily dominated __by Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android, Huawei’s release of HarmonyOS challenges this duopoly. This marks a significant shift in the mainland Chinese and global technology landscape, highlighting increasing opportunities for the development of homegrown Chinese technologies. China’s Strategic Response to Trade Restrictions Huawei's decision to develop its own operating system, first released in 2017, has largely been driven by U.S. trade restrictions imposed on the company in 2019, among many others. These restrictions have limited Huawei’s access to services critical for Android devices, such as Google Mobile Services, hence the development of HarmonyOS. The subsequent development focus on HarmonyOS, accompanied by an aggressive go-to-market strategy, offers China a significant degree of technological independence while also reducing its reliance on U.S.-dominated platforms. This could provide a strategic advantage to Chinese firms, as it mitigates the risks associated with potential U.S.-led sanctions or digital supply chain disruptions imposed by the U.S. This follows a trend of other Chinese organizations, encouraged by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) government, in establishing exclusively homegrown and hosted services, including the Blockchain-based Service Network’s offerings of blockchain applications and the People’s Bank of China’s digital yuan. As a result, it is clear that there has been an explosion of homegrown Chinese technologies and services, represented by key infrastructure services such as HarmonyOS, the Blockchain Service Network, and the digital yuan. Additionally, when these technological elements are subsequently integrated with other emerging technologies such as 5G networks and artificial intelligence (AI), China's technological advancement will most certainly become accelerated, while simultaneously bolstering and potentially ensuring its digital sovereignty. Implications for Global Cooperation The emergence of HarmonyOS as a viable alternative to Western-developed operating systems could fragment the global digital market, forcing global companies to localize their services even more while also challenging local and regional companies' expansion capabilities beyond their market segments. In this respect, the growth in the adoption of HarmonyOS may also limit access to certain apps and services, particularly those developed primarily for Western platforms., Additionally, increased usage of HarmonyOS could further hinder international cooperation on topics such as cybersecurity and wireless technology standards, especially in light of different local, regional, and global regulatory frameworks and laws. This could make it difficult for internationally-driven standardization efforts to truly occur for the benefit of the consumer, instead potentially benefiting individual nation-states, organizations, and/or enterprises. The PRC has shown its far-reaching capabilities to wield global influence, already playing an active role in molding the global regulatory landscape for topics such as drones and AI through its influence in international organizations like the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). By strategically placing Chinese nationals in key leadership positions and actively participating in standard-setting processes, among other means, the PRC’s motives clearly speak to its aims to promote its own technological advancements and potentially influence the future trajectory of these industries. The implementation of additional dominant software systems such as HarmonyOS, would either unwittingly and/or intentionally enable the PRC to align global regulations with its national interests and create a favorable environment for its domestic industries. Data Privacy and Surveillance Concerns Furthermore, the increased development, adoption, and focus on spreading HarmonyOS infrastructure in a mobile device manufacturer as popular as Huawei raises significant domestic and international concerns about data privacy and surveillance. For one, China's less stringent cybersecurity laws and regulations could allow the government easier access to user data. Additionally, government-mandated backdoors in operating systems like HarmonyOS could enable surveillance and data interception both locally and abroad. Data localization requirements may also force users to store data on Chinese servers, subjecting them to potential PRC seizure, but at the least, jurisdiction within China. This could have significant effects on companies with headquarters and subsidiaries within China, potentially enabling an unfair competitive advantage not only in government-based technologies but also at the corporate level. Lastly, there is also a potential for built-in surveillance features in HarmonyOS, with such techniques including enabling microphone and camera access without explicit user consent, a tactic that has been previously discovered in hardware with Chinese origins. Conclusion The long-term impact of HarmonyOS on strategic competition remains uncertain; however, it must be fully acknowledged that HarmonyOS represents a significant technological advancement for China. In light of these advancements, Chinese and global users should exercise caution, review app permissions, and stay informed about security updates in relation to HarmonyOS, especially due to potential Chinese government legislation enabling increased access to users' information by usurping existing privacy laws knowingly or unknowingly via HarmonyOS. Therefore, as the technological landscape continues to evolve, the interplay between geopolitical tensions and technological innovation will continue to shape the future of the digital age.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS: Navigating the Landscape of China’s Desire for Digital Sovereignty

Well, after 2 weeks of waiting I received my Huawei GT-2. Sure, Chinawatch watches you and all, but that was fine with me. My two seconds of research told me it was the superior watch. A 2-week battery life? I had a Samsung watch years ago I returned 2 days later because, after hacking it to interact with every app I had on my phone - including voice replies - the battery life sank to under 2 hours. 2 weeks should translate into.. maybe a day?? I had received a Huawei Watch 2 in a deal with my Huawei P30. Yes, I am Chinese. No, not really. They just know everything about me. Anywho, I created a watch face to track the net yields of my aggregate Coindex trading bots that are live - three of them. I was going to re-learn even more Java to get these values into % average/projected Daily Percentage Returns but wanted to wait for my way-better watch first. Really, no lie. For you code rats out there I had to separate the web request into an async task and load my data there, saving to the object's instances of the variables. I also had to do some network configuration magic in an .xml. {

Leather strap and all. Alright, it's on and updated. Next, we go inside to connect it to PC and enable USB debugging. Right? Right. Wrong! Turns out there is no build number in about to turn on dev options. Uncool, let's google how to do it. Lo and behold folks, there is no USB debugging. There is no Play Store. The damned Chinese made a non-Android watch that syncs with Android devices. Woe is me, folks! It's not real! Alright, now to explain a wee bit better. For my entire adult life I've been assuming everything 90% of the time and being right 75% of the time - leading some CEOs to call me incompetent, this actually saves me a sh#tton of time and I just make up the difference by correcting myself when I'm wrong. Most people have a hard time even admitting they are wrong (ever). I feel this is a redeeming quality of mine. Some don't. In this case, it bit me. I skipped over reviews titled along the lines of 'Huawei GT-2 - Pretty Watch, Not So Smart?' I assumed nobody - not even Huawei spies - would remove Android from Android watches. At this point, I was still wearing my watch out of spite and as a self-loathing exercise. Nay, I wouldn't even return it. I would keep wearing it to punish myself. I realized that as soon as COVID is done I'm shipping to Atlanta, to be an executive and real member of society (on vacation in the USA mind you). I realized that - in high tech and high finance - I couldn't wear this watch. It's embarrassing. Then I realized: F**k 'em. I can recreate the watchface using whatever the heck Huawei uses. And the damn thing has 2wk battery life. Moreover, it displays notifications from whatever damn app I want it to - not just the ones that have bought into Android Wear and made an app. This thing does what I need it to. And better. And longer between annoying recharges. And I can still do my custom ridiculous stuff on it. So screw it. It's an edgelord fashion statement. I don't need Android in me watch.

How I Programmed A Huawei GT-2 Watch To Display Net-Aggregate Crypto-Yields

As : announced earlier this year "Future Huawei phones will come without Google services. The alternative is Huawei Mobile Services and Huawei's own application store AppGallery. What is Huawei Mobile Services? With Huawei Mobile Services (HMS), Huawei offers its own alternative to Google Play Services. On Android smartphones, the latter ensures that apps can be updated, scanned for viruses and can work together with other apps, if necessary." ( source ) iOS was the only mobile platform once upon a time. Apple tried to use a software-hardware combination to get the costumer's attention. Before Steve Jobs presented the iPhone G3S model, Nokia and Blackberry got their notice already. Steve jobs took advantage of every aspect. iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Macbook products were the summit of the innovation at that time. MacBook Air's presentation could be impressive for the product. However, there'll be an opponent like Google's Android platform. Apple tried to make it better with every update. iOS updates sent to all the available smart devices. Furthermore, the company lets the developer consumers test the up to date version. Testers shares comments and iOS reviewed by those opinions. While we're watching WWDC, it's the last touch of all the processes. Google found with good intentions like:'' do not be evil'' motto. Anyone who had used the product would remember those good times. The company initiated an alternative operating system by acquiring Android Inc. Andy Rubin and teammates were trying to create an operating system with Linux kernel support. Android Alpha version announced in 2007. in 2008, HTC Dream Smartphone announced for the first time. Google added extra services like Gmail,   the camera application, Youtube video player, calendar, and the web browser after renamed chrome. Google shares a pure Android version to the Samsung, Xiaomi, etc. Every manufacturer is adding it's particular applications. However, an android smartwatches' app may not work out with the X brand. After versions on versions, these applications became vital for the consumers. All of them called Google mobile services. There had been a critical cold war between China and America. GMS and other necessary, sufficient chipset support ceased until further notice because of the cold technology war. Android consumers accustomed to those services. Moreover, brand names could have changed; the services should be available anytime. Huawei revealed the truth. Huawei mobile services work like GMS and App gallery is similar to google play store. It's the third one after the opponents. What's the difference between google play store to App gallery? The company didn't cooperate with developers before Trump administration. Moreover, ıf you live in China, you can pay the purchase or do anything you want in the App gallery or similar payment methods. There won't be a wallet; it's a routine activity. After 2019, Huawei let the developers create it's apps' version. They create a budget to pay the developers; it's approximately fifty million dollars, and it's just the beginning. What ıf I'm not up to wait for the progress? You can use the phone clone application to transfer google play store apps.  The other option is to use the Moreapps application. It's not an official Huawei supported version. However, there wouldn't be an issue until now. I had tried the App gallery installed device, and I liked the way they use it. I'm not using most of the social media apps, but you can install them from websites as a .apk method. Whatsapp, Facebook, İnstagram works like a typical device. Corporate applications might be an issue for now. As the developers cooperate, it'll work out as planned as possible. Have you seen Mate 30 Pro or P40 model? It's almost perfect with design and camera features. Google mobile services don't work out with these products. If you're a big corporate with up-to-date smart devices, would you choose them?

Android with Huawei Mobile Services: Will it Work Out?

The war between the U.S. government and the tech giant, Huawei, has been raging since 2012, when the company was first accused of having links to the Chinese government. But the year 2020 seems to bring the battle to somewhat of a boiling point: Demands for the most cutting-edge 5G technology is mounting, allies of the U.S. have begun to take controversial stands, and Trump’s government is making new moves that aim to cripple the tech company for good. It is easy to get caught up in “who had the last laugh” in this week’s chapter of international security and technological warfare. But alas, this is more than entertainment from a distant battlefield. These decisions are beginning to affect us, and our exposure to cutting-edge technology. We should be consistently asking ourselves- is the fiercely negative attitude that the U.S. maintains towards Huawei legitimate? Or is it more of a political move with the aim of one-upping their Chinese competitors rather than a genuine security concern? In January, Prime Minister Boris Johnson took a surprising stand indicating that he believes the latter. He made it clear that he would not give into the U.S. pressure regarding their ties to Huawei “the British public deserve to have access to the best possible technology—now if people oppose one brand or another then they have to tell us what’s the alternative.” claiming While no clear decision has been made, the softening of the U.K.’s political resistance to Huawei could have major consequences. Not only is the UK a member of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance, but they are also known for their security expertise. Any decision made by the UK regarding Huawei would greatly affect how other countries respond to the tech company. This has sparked elation for Huawei, but it may be short-lived, as a greater threat looms in the not-so-far distance. A from Reuters confirms that the threat by the U.S. to tighten the supply chain restriction is about to come into fruition.  Until now, the U.S. has been able to cut off international Huawei suppliers only when a minimum of 25% of the product was U.S. made. But the Commerce Department is about to reduce this to 10%, meaning a bout of sanctions could hit Huawei any day. report This is incredibly bad news for a company that is already on its knees due to existing sanctions. Huawei took another symbolic hit when the US to make its own 5G technology with American and European companies. Though this plan seems like a far-off concept, if it were to be successful, it could reduce the importance of Huawei equipment internationally. announced plans Why is the US so vehemently against Huawei? The core fear is that Huawei, through their cell tower and networking equipment, could spy for the Chinese government, presenting a national security risk. Despite the complete lack of hard evidence after more than seven years of searching, the U.S. believes that the even a future threat is enough to cancel Huawei contracts. The Trump administration has been pushing a hard line against the fact that Huawei founder Mr. Ren Zhengfei in the People’s Liberation Army (which is a known escape route for those stuck in countryside poverty, as was Mr. Ren) is reason enough to assume Huawei’s ultimate mission is to bring down the U.S. once served I would like to argue that, even assuming Huawei is a real risk, the complete ban that the U.S. is pursuing is not only illogical, but it is even more of a security risk long-term. It is illogical because the supposed danger Huawei could introduce - gaining access to huge amounts of personal data and using this info detrimentally - is already here in home-grown U.S. with companies like and . Google Facebook These U.S. digital whales, which also own Instagram, WhatsApp and YouTube respectively, have an astoundingly comprehensive collection of data about their users including location, messages, photos, contacts, downloads, preferences, purchases, and more. And let’s not forget- both Google and Facebook have already to which they are privy. misused the data You may claim that it is not the same since Huawei is a Chinese company, rivals of the U.S., and therefore more of a danger to democracies and international politics. Yet this too is an invalid argument since Facebook has already undermined the democratic process even in the U.S. where it was used to enable foreign in elections. interference You may also claim that unlike Huawei, which is bound to the Chinese government, Facebook and Google are totally private, but you would be wrong again. Google does plenty work for the U.S. government but not limited to aiding the U.S. military and intelligence services. including, Despite all this, the U.S. government have barely lifted a finger to secure the public from these existing threats, while acting preemptively and harshly to the future threat of Huawei. There is also the security risk of the harsh U.S. bans- by outlawing Huawei, they are cutting off their best competitor. Huawei is not only the world’s largest supplier of telecommunications equipment, but it is the global leader in constructing ultra-high-speed 5G networks, way ahead of any U.S. contender. Politicizing 5G will be detrimental to technological development. The U.S. obsession with banning Huawei violates the principle of fair competition that allows technology to grow at its current pace, ultimately going against the interests of the international community. Knocking out competition leads other companies into complacency, meaning U.S. development will be slowed. This presents an even greater security risk long-term. So, what is the solution? Huawei is a risk (much like Facebook and Google), but there are other ways to mitigate the risk besides enacting full-on bans. The U.S. should be looking for alternative solutions, perhaps like Francis Dinah of OpenVPN , suggests ‘building an overlay secure virtual network across the 5G infrastructure that could provide end-to-end security, controlled and managed by the 5G network operators’. Rather than being on the constant and dramatized defensive, a move that threatens to stagnate international tech growth, the U.S. ought to be proactively looking for alternative methods to improve our cybersecurity. This Huawei crusade may make us feel safe short-term, but the long—term consequences could be disastrous for all sides.

US vs Huawei Battle At Boiling Point: We Must Ask, Is It Worth It?

I watched almost all the vital presentations because I wonder who can challenge the American tech companies like Microsoft, Google, etc. When Samsung tried Tizen system, I asked ıf Samsung could end this era? It was an unfortunate try. And then Huawei announced a developer conference. So everyone might think what's happening? Harmony OS was announced with technical comprehension in Linux/Unix and Android. If you look from the perspective of politics, there's an unknown period between China and America. So Android might end the support at the end of the August. There's a detail to review:'' We can send the system anytime ıf it's inevitable''. Let's take a look at the History of the company. China wasn't producing anything and import communication technology from Hong Kong. Huawei founded for this reason in 1987. As we are talking about this challenge, it seems like a miracle. Why should you develop an application for the Harmony OS? If you are a developer, you should prepare an alternative version for every platform like a smartwatch, tablet, and notebook. It's going to take too much time, an extraordinary workforce. You're going to produce a version and then it is going to compile for every smart device: smartphone, handset, tablet, notebook. Etc. Ark Compiler is going to combine all the application details. So, there won't be compatibility issues. The presentation's the beginning. ıf Huawei gets the developers' support, and the operating system can change the ecosystem. The test period has initiated with different devices. There will be lots of productivity with this challenge. Harmony OS has MicroKernel and ExternalKernel. If you know the root password, Linux/Unix system can be vulnerable. There's an IDE interface at the top of the system. And anyone might use C, C++, Java, JS, Kotlin to prepare a version of the application. Furthermore, the system is going to compile the application. Payment method is an essential issue for the developers and consumers. Apple has an excellent payment method, but the company took too much profit from the developers, and then the developers left the play store.  What about Huawei? We'll wait and see this issue. We need a competitor to Google and Apple. And if Huawei can challenge and create a productive ecosystem would be better for the consumers and developers.

Harmony OS: What We Learned From the Huawei Developer Conference

Smartphone cameras are about to kill DSLRs, starting with a new rumoured triple-lens Huawei P20. I recently wrote my predictions of the trends we will see in photography in 2018, and the first thing that I wrote is that . I remain the strong believer in computational photography _Every year ground-breaking technologies shift the way we think about photography. To make sense of the changes, I write…_medium.com 5 Photo Industry Trends To Keep An Eye On In 2018 I did not, however, expect my predictions to start happening too soon. This is soon to change, because Huawei is to release a world’s first smartphone with three lenses in the back. The expectation is that such a setup might produce 40 megapixel images, obviously computed from two or more cameras. rumoured While details are scarce, what’s more important is the trend — we will see more smartphone makers adopting multi-camera setup. Rumoured design for Huawei’s upcoming P20. In case of Huawei’s upcoming P20, there are several layout options: One camera (in the middle) is a monochrome wide angle sensor for details and contrast, while two cameras on the outside are wide and tele lenses. They are separated far enough to produce “portrait” mode as well as stereo and other computational photo effects. All three cameras might have the colour sensor, and either have different focal lenses — ie 28mm (in 35mm camera equivalent), 56mm and 28mm. All three lenses in this setup can adopt the methodology, and the same focal lens can be used to produce in-body shift to make a final computed image. Light All three lenses might adopt different lens for a unique zoom capabilities, bringing a phone closer to the mirrorless or a DSLR territory. In that case, lenses ranging from 24/28mm, 56mm and 105mm might provide 1x, 2x, and 4x optical zoom. Couple that with a stabilization, and it’s a phone that photographers might envy. Regardless of the setup, the release of a first triple-back camera phone is a statement. Huawei is with Apple as the largest smartphone maker , so you can be sure folks in Cupertino are watching this Chinese threat with a great zeal. sharing second place in the world Evgeny Tchebotarev founded 500px , a 13-million-photographers-strong community, backed by Andreessen Horowitz .
