　　At the Huawei analyst conference held recently, Xu Zhijun, vice chairman and rotating chairman of Huawei, revealed that the most critical thing for Huawei in 2024 is to build a native application ecosystem in HarmonyOS.

　　At the same time, Huawei Pura 70 series, which was officially launched on April 18th, also has new news. According to many interviews with reporters from Securities Times E Company, Huawei Pura 70 series is relatively well stocked, so at present, most offline channels can buy Pura 70 series in stock, except for a few versions, and generally there is no need to increase the price.

　　"The Road to Development in HarmonyOS" was exposed.

　　On April 18th, Huawei official website made public the full text of Xu Zhijun’s speech at the Huawei analyst conference, which thoroughly revealed the most critical events of Huawei in 2024.

　　Xu Zhijun said that ecology is very important for Huawei’s industrial development. Huawei has made a decision to invest heavily in the development of ecology in 2024 and the next five years, and to promote and drive the development of terminal industries and computing industries through ecological development.

　　"The first is to build a native application ecosystem in HarmonyOS, which is the most critical thing for Huawei in 2024." Xu Zhijun said that in the past, HarmonyOS’s operating system mostly adapted to various terminal devices in the south, but it still shared the application ecology of Android in the application in the north. Huawei hopes to fully migrate 5,000 applications that have been used on smartphones for more than 99% of the time to HarmonyOS’s native operating system in 2024, so as to truly realize the unification of operating system and application ecology.

　　Xu Zhijun introduced that among the more than 5,000 applications, more than 4,000 applications have defined their migration plans, and less than 1,000 applications are communicating.

　　"This migration volume is huge. When we migrated these 5,000 applications and thousands of other applications from the Android ecosystem to the HarmonyOS operating system, our HarmonyOS operating system was truly built and truly became the third mobile operating system in the world besides Apple iOS and Google Android. We will first build HarmonyOS’s operational application ecology based on the China market, and promote it country by country in the future and gradually push it to the world. " Xu Zhijun said.

　　HarmonyOS was released in August 2019. From June 2021, HarmonyOS 2.0 was officially used in mobile phones and other consumer terminals. In July 2022, HarmonyOS 3.0 was launched, and in August 2023, HarmonyOS 4.0 was launched.

　　On January 18th, 2024, Huawei announced that the developer preview of HarmonyOS NEXT HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition was open to developers. According to Huawei’s plan, HarmonyOS NEXT HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition is expected to release a developer Beta in the second quarter of 2024 and a consumer-oriented commercial version (native HarmonyOS commercial version) in the fourth quarter.

　　On April 18th, Huawei’s native HarmonyOS made new progress. On the same day, dozens of partners such as One Shenzhen, Direct News, Bee Assistant, Express 100, Cloud Home, Kaisi, Caixun, Kaidishi, Zhumang Partner, Yika, etc. signed contracts with Huawei to reach HarmonyOS cooperation. At the same time, shenzhen tong, Firerabbit, southern fund, Lanling KK, Miyi, Private Paipai.com, Caregiver, Xiaohua Wallet, Gelonghui.

　　"We expect that when Mate70 is sold this year, we can go public with’ pure blood’ HarmonyOS, which is also the goal of our efforts." Xu Zhijun bluntly said.

　　The supply chain has changed completely.

　　In addition, in terms of ecological creation, Xu Zhijun also said that efforts will be made to create a Kunpeng ecology and a rising ecology.

　　Kunpeng Ecology refers to the industrial ecology built by Huawei around Kunpeng Chip, which is mainly used in general computing and server fields, while Shengpeng Ecology is the industrial ecology built by Huawei around Shengteng Chip, which is mainly used in artificial intelligence field.

　　Xu Zhijun said that Huawei opened the general computing operating system openEuler in 2019, and then opened the database openGauss in 2020. After several years’ efforts, more than 75% of application software in China has been able to run on Kunpeng processor. After several years’ efforts, it is expected that all application software in China can run on both X86 processors and Kunpeng processors.

　　As for Ascension, Xu Zhijun said that building Ascension Ecology is the key to Huawei’s development of artificial intelligence. Over the years, Huawei has been building a rising ecology around the rising processor, CANN and MindSpore, and has made great progress with the efforts of the whole industry. I hope that in the future, based on CANN and MindSpore, enterprises and developers can train all large models and complete all the reasoning work.

　　Xu Zhijun also revealed that for all developers of Kunpeng, Shengteng and HarmonyOS Ecology, Huawei will build a unified developer platform based on Huawei Cloud, giving developers a unified entrance and allowing developers to move freely in these three ecosystems. Based on the construction of these ecosystems, Huawei will be able to provide a second choice for the world computing field and a third mobile operating system for the world.

　　It is worth mentioning that Xu Zhijun also mentioned in his speech that in 2024, Huawei will persist in winning by quality and achieve high-quality development. "No matter how the world changes, only high quality is the key for Huawei to continue to move towards the future, because our supply chain has undergone a thorough change, so we must extend quality requirements and quality management to suppliers, channels and partners to promote the common progress of the industrial chain."

　　In addition, Xu Zhijun also revealed that in 2024, Huawei will continue to optimize its industrial mix and enhance its development resilience. In his view, at present, Huawei has built a strong and resilient industrial portfolio, thus laying a solid foundation for the company’s sustainable survival and development. Among these industries, there are traditional advantageous industries, such as the communication industry in ICT infrastructure; There are also pioneering industries such as the AI computing industry in ICT infrastructure; There are both stable and fast-growing industries; There are industries that rely on advanced technology and industries that do not rely on advanced technology, such as digital energy; There are hardware-led industries and software-led industries.

　　Pura 70 is relatively well stocked

　　On the other hand, the Pura 70 series, which was just launched yesterday, also has new news.

　　It is understood that last year, after the launch of Huawei Mate 60 series, the supply has been in short supply. This aspect is related to the production capacity of Huawei’s core components, and on the other hand, it is also related to Huawei’s insufficient stocking.

　　Unlike the Mate 60 series, the Pura 70 series is relatively well stocked.

　　On the morning of April 18th, after the launch of Pura 70 series, a person in charge of Huawei Experience Store told the reporter of Securities Times E Company that the intended users can buy the spot when they arrive at the store on the same day. However, due to the hot on-site sales, it may take a certain queuing time to pick up the goods on site, and at the same time, some models may be in short supply, and it will take a certain time to pick up the goods after booking. Of course, the sales intensity of each store is different, and the queuing situation is also different.

　　Up to now, many Huawei users have told reporters that they bought Huawei Pura 70 on April 18 and got the spot.

　　However, why was Huawei’s official website Pura 70 sold in less than one minute yesterday, and all major e-commerce platforms have shown that Pura 70 Ultra and Pura 70 Pro have been sold out?

　　In this regard, insiders revealed to reporters that this may be due to Huawei’s different policies for online and offline channels of Pura 70 series. "It is estimated that it will be more inclined to the offline, because there is a powder absorption effect offline, and Huawei needs to support the development of Huawei’s distribution system."

　　According to reports, a channel insider revealed to the media: "According to our research, Huawei Pura 70 series mobile phones have more channel stocking than Mate 60 series. At present, the total channel stocking has reached 14 million to 15 million units."

　　Huawei Pura 70 series includes four models: Pura 70 Standard Edition, Pura 70 Pro, Pura 70 Pro+ and Pura 70 Ultra, with retail prices starting from 5499 yuan, 6499 yuan, 7999 yuan and 9999 yuan respectively.

　　Different from other models, the camera module of Pura 70 series adopts triangular camera island design. At the same time, the Ultra version is equipped with a 1-inch sensor and a rotating telescopic lens. This is the first time Huawei has tried a telescopic lens on a mobile phone, realizing the functional differentiation and the leap of product strength. In addition, both Ultra and Pro versions support high-speed flash and further upgraded macro telephoto.

　　According to the news from Huawei Terminal Weibo, the second batch of Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ and Huawei Pura 70 will be put on sale on April 22nd.
