HarmonyOS has shown impressive development, progressing from version 2.0 to 4.0 in just a few years, significantly improving the user experience. This growth underscores that the smartphone market is no longer limited to Android and iOS, with Huawei’s HarmonyOS gaining traction.

HarmonyOS 4 has seen rapid adoption, with 5 million users within two weeks of its launch, including 1 million on the first day. It offers personalized themes, an enhanced notification center, and a “Live Window” feature for real-time alerts.

Wang Chenglu, CEO of Shenzhen Kaihong Digital Industry Development, hinted at an official HarmonyOS release for PCs next year, potentially competing with Microsoft’s rumored Windows 12. HarmonyOS has already shown its compatibility on an HP notebook, running smoothly with adapted drivers.

With HarmonyOS gaining momentum and expanding its ecosystem, it is poised to secure a significant share of the future market, challenging the dominance of established operating systems.
