Revolutionizing Chinese Technology A Look at Foreign Media's Coverage of Huawei's HarmonyOS and Xiaomi's SurgeOS

【Mobile China News】Recently, the release of Xiaomi’s HyperOS has made a huge impact in the tech circle, which inevitably brings to mind the scene when Huawei introduced HarmonyOS.

Foreign media in their articles point out that Chinese tech giants, Huawei and Xiaomi, are paving new paths in the operating system maze. Both companies are intensifying their efforts to integrate “various products from smartphones to household appliances” into one operating system. However, Xiaomi’s HyperOS seeks to coexist harmoniously with Google’s Android, while Huawei’s HarmonyOS strives for complete independence.

Essentially, Xiaomi’s HyperOS is a fusion of Android and its own Internet of Things (IoT) platform, Vela. With this operating system, users can have a smooth experience whether they use Xiaomi phones, smartwatches, or smart TVs. Xiaomi aims to simplify users’ lives by centralizing the management of its growing product line. Foreign media believe that this is not a rebellion against Android, but rather a symbiotic relationship.

In contrast, previous global smartphone leader Huawei has adopted a more radical approach. HarmonyOS Next, which is set to be launched, aims to completely free Huawei devices from Android. Since being sanctioned, Huawei has been unable to use Google services and has heavily invested in the full adoption of HarmonyOS. Despite initial challenges and a market share that is insignificant compared to Android, there are now over 700 million devices running HarmonyOS, demonstrating Huawei’s unwavering determination, according to foreign media.

Lastly, foreign media also mentioned the challenges that Huawei and Xiaomi face: Google’s Android still dominates the global mobile operating system landscape, with a market share of up to 70%. Can these two Chinese giants break this monopoly? Xiaomi seems content with providing an optimized Android experience through HyperOS. Meanwhile, Huawei, without Google services, is investing in building a brand new ecosystem. The paths they are taking can be compared to the difference between an upgrade and a thorough overhaul.
