Huawei Mate 70 Will Come With Dual OS, Can Use HarmonyOS NEXT And Android

JAKARTA - Huawei continues to develop innovations in its smart devices with its own operating system, HarmonyOS NEXT. This system has officially replaced Android frameworks in their latest products.

It's just that there are now the latest rumors developing in the world of technology showing that Huawei may be carrying a new strategy for the global market, by presenting a dual-OS option in the upcoming 70 Huawei Mate series.

According to a leak from a well-known tech leaker, RuiPlaysDigital, Huawei Mate 70 is predicted to launch with a 'dual-frame' software setup. This means that this device will support two operating systems, namely the NEXT HarmonyOS designed by Huawei itself, and another one compatible with Android applications. This is a strategic step to meet the needs of China's domestic market while attracting global users.

For the domestic market, HarmonyOS NEXT offers a very familiar experience for users in China who are familiar with the EMUI interface over the Android system.

In fact, the HarmonyOS NEXT is claimed to be able to provide faster and smoother performance than Android applications. As an operating system developed from scratch by Huawei, the HarmonyOS NEXT is expected to provide a better experience for users with an increasingly complete application ecosystem.

Android Support For Global Users

However, for users outside China, the existence of Google apps and services such as Gmail, YouTube, and the Play Store is very important. Since the imposition of US trade sanctions on Huawei, the company has no longer been able to install Google Mobile Services (GMS) on their devices, which has hampered access to popular apps.

This is where Android support on Mate 70 becomes an ideal solution for the global market. With OS compatible with the Android app, Mate 70 users can install Google app manually, allowing them to keep using the application they already know and rely on.

Huawei's Smart Strategy

This dual-OS strategy is a smart move that will allow Huawei to stay competitive in the international market, especially in the midst of intense competition in the smartphone sector. For users who want to experience a new experience, HarmonyOS NEXT will provide excellent features that can only be found on Huawei devices.

Meanwhile, for users who are not ready to switch to a new operating system, the existence of Android support provides flexibility to continue to use applications that they already know well.

Huawei is scheduled to host the official launch of the HarmonyOS NEXT on October 22, 2024 in China. At this event, Huawei will most likely unveil their plans regarding the dual-OS strategy for the Huawei Mate 70. Although these rumors have not been officially confirmed, technology industry observers are optimistic that this step will strengthen Huawei's position in the global market while maintaining user loyalty in China.

With the launch getting closer, many are looking forward to the innovation that Huawei will bring to Mate 70, as well as how this dual-OS will change competition in the smartphone world. Stay tuned for the latest news for more information on Huawei's strategy in the future.
