currently, the two most powerful mobile phone systems in the world are ios and android, which everyone is probably very familiar with.

on the road to the growth of android and ios, there have been many challengers, and the strongest among them should actually be microsoft's windows phone.

in fact, before apple ios and google android were born, microsoft already had a windows-based system for mobile phones. it was originally called windows mobile. dopod, samsung, htc, etc. have launched many such mobile phones. however, this system although powerful, it is not smart enough.

later, when ios and android were born, microsoft quickly imitated ios and android, transformed into a smart system, and changed its name to windows phone.

in order to develop the ecosystem, microsoft also worked hard and spent billions of dollars to incentivize developers.

the final result is that windows phone is dead, while android and ios survive.

later, bill gates said that there can only be two mobile phone systems in the world. if there are too many, developers will not be able to operate them. everyone's energy and operating costs are limited, and they can only support two mobile phone systems.

later, samsung's tizen also challenged android and ios, but also failed, which seemed to verify bill gates' statement.

however, it now seems that bill gates' statement may not be correct, because now there is a third operating system in the world, competing with android and ios.

this system is huawei's hongmeng system. it was launched in 2019 and became a hot topic in the country. however, everyone in the industry was not particularly optimistic at the time and found it very difficult.

but huawei’s hongmeng system has worked hard all the way. at first, it learned from android and was compatible with android to improve its own ecosystem.

and in the early days, we didn’t start with mobile phone systems. we mainly focused on tvs, cars, watches, the internet of things, etc., and finally started supporting mobile phones, tablets, etc.

but now, hongmeng system has surpassed ios in china, becoming the second largest mobile phone system in the country, and the third largest system in the world, with more than 300 million pure mobile phone/tablet users.

according to huawei's plan, in a few days, the pure-blood harmony os next will be released for public testing. it will no longer be compatible with android app and form its own ecosystem. in addition, the pc version of harmony will be coming soon.

it can be seen that huawei has really slapped bill gates in the face. who said that global developers only have the ability, energy and cost to operate two systems, and cannot support the third system, which is only microsoft's windows phone it doesn’t work, but huawei hongmeng does. doesn’t this mean success?
