Not long ago, Huawei announced that the 5th Huawei Developer Conference 2023 will be held in August, and there was a heated discussion among developers, which has become the most concerned technology event for millions of Huawei users. You know, Hongmeng is the core keyword at all previous Huawei Developers Conference, and Hongmeng 4, which is ready to launch, will obviously be announced at this developer conference.

Just today, Huawei officially announced the release time of Hongmeng 4 to the public. It will be officially unveiled at Huawei Developers Conference 2023 on August 4.

The much-anticipated Hongmeng 4 is finally coming, so what upgrades and innovations will Hongmeng 4 bring? What are Huawei's big moves for the entire ecosystem? Let's first review the development process of Hongmeng in the past dynasties!

Hongmeng system, also known as HarmonyOS, debuted at Huawei Developer Conference 2019. The birth of HarmonyOS, on the one hand, comes from Huawei's foresight strategic layout and inherent sense of crisis; on the other hand, developing an independent operating system is also an urgent need of the times, especially in this new era of Internet of Everything and digitalization, the ecological fragmentation of past systems and the lack of rich applications and services for IoT devices have not kept pace with the times.

In this context, HarmonyOS, a system dedicated to breaking down barriers between end devices and truly for the Internet of Everything, has come to us.

In August 2019, HarmonyOS was first applied to Huawei Smart Screen. A year later, Huawei Developer Conference officially released HarmonyOS 2 version for developers, bringing distributed soft bus, distributed data management, distributed security and other technologies. In June 2021, products such as HIAWEI MatePad Pro equipped with HarmonyOS 2 were released. HarmonyOS 2 brought new features such as unified control center, super terminal pull-and-close, universal card, etc., as well as more comprehensive performance improvement and more complete privacy protection. HarmonyOS 2 is the fastest growing terminal operating system in history, with an upgrade rate of 77%. In July 2022, HarmonyOS 3 was upgraded, with six features: super terminal, Hongmeng Zhilian, universal card, smooth performance, privacy security and information accessibility, bringing a common and new intelligent experience.

According to Yu Chengdong, Huawei's executive director, terminal BG CEO and BU CEO of smart car solutions, said at Huawei Developers Conference 2022 that Huawei equipment equipped with HarmonyOS has reached 320 million, and Hongmeng Zhilian products have shipped more than 250 million; Hongmeng Ecological Developers have more than 2 million people, and Hongmeng Zhilian also has more than 2200 partners.

It can be seen that in less than four years, HarmonyOS has completed the breakthrough from 0 to 1, and has also achieved the leap from 1 to "∞." At this point, Huawei HarmonyOS system has not only become the fastest growing intelligent terminal operating system in history, but also has stabilized its position as the world's third largest mobile phone operating system.

Looking back at the past development of Hongmeng system, what surprises will the brand-new Hongmeng 4 system bring to Huawei users, all developers and the whole industry?

In fact, a month ago, Huawei started the push of Hongmeng OS 4 developer Beta in advance, and started developer Beta recruitment activities, including Huawei Mate50 series, P60 series and other models users can apply for preview upgrade.

According to the update log, developers can experience the convenience and efficiency of application development through the HarmonyOS 4 developer beta with ArkTS language, Stage model, ArkUI enhancements and DevEcoStudio features.

In addition, enthusiastic users shared that in the second phase of HarmonyOS 4 developer beta released in early July, the stability and fluency were excellent, and even users felt that "Huawei's update adaptation speed is a bit fast this year, one month faster than last year's Hongmeng 3 version." "

Whether it's Huawei Developer Conference 2023 in August, or the first HarmonyOS 4 beta update, these "big events" can fully explain that Huawei will be full of big moves this time, and it's ready to go, and it's about to "hold it"!

So what upgrades will Hongmeng 4 bring? In addition to the fluency and stability greatly improved as shared above, the first upgrade must be the ecological experience. The first three versions of HarmonyOS have formed the most vital ecological base, including 30000+API, brand-new Hongmeng development kit, etc. It is believed that Hongmeng will definitely usher in a huge upgrade in this respect this time.

Secondly, in the first half of this year, AIGC and AI models became hot topics for a long time, and at the beginning of July, Huawei Cloud CEO Zhang Ping 'an announced the official release of Pangu Model 3.0, which was commercialized for the first time on the 18th. It is not difficult to guess that perhaps the brand-new Hongmeng 4 will also carry part of Pangu model technology, bringing further upgrade experience in AI.

Of course, all this is just speculation, Huawei officials did not disclose more exact information about Hongmeng 4. However, all this is worth looking forward to. Although Hongmeng is a "latecomer," it has been leading the development of the industry by virtue of the advanced concept of Internet of Everything. For example, the "super terminal" Hongmeng experience based on distributed design has been imitated and borrowed by friends.

Huawei Developer Conference 2023 has been finalized in August, and the release time of Hongmeng 4 has also been determined. Everything is ready except for "release." Let's wait for Huawei's performance together!
