Huawei is achieving tremendous success in its move to establish its own ecosystem, which it initiated after the US embargoes. HarmonyOS 6, the company’s newest and completely independent operating system version, has managed to exceed the 60 million device threshold even though it has been a very short time since its launch.

This new version, which is the strongest representative of Huawei’s “completely domestic and national” software vision, draws attention especially with its aggressive growth in the Chinese market. Reaching more than 150 thousand new activations per day, the system strengthens its position as the third biggest power in the technology world, next to Android and iOS, day by day.

• HarmonyOS 6 began to be actively used on more than 60 million devices as of May 2026, becoming the fastest-growing software version in Huawei history.

• The operating system ecosystem has turned into a huge software pool with more than 350 thousand native applications and more than 10 million registered developers.

• Huawei’s goal is to become more dominant in the global market by rolling out HarmonyOS 5 and 6 versions to over 100 million devices in total by the end of 2026.

Microkernel Architecture and Superior Performance

HarmonyOS 6 offers not just a visual update, but also a fundamental technological revolution. Thanks to the newly developed Ark Engine, system animations become much more fluid, while communication between devices (Super Device) reaches a perfect level thanks to the microkernel design.

While Huawei increases energy efficiency by 30 percent with this version, it manages to outshine its competitors, especially in mobile games and artificial intelligence operations, with low latency. The operating system is not only in phones; It also enables a single language to be spoken in tablets, smart watches, in-car systems and smart home appliances.

Artificial Intelligence Supported XiaoYi and the Smart Office Era

XiaoYi, the artificial intelligence assistant at the heart of HarmonyOS 6, offers a personalized experience by analyzing user habits. The “Touch and Share” feature that comes with the new version makes file transfer between devices as easy as physical contact.

In addition, thanks to the strategic partnership with Kingsoft WPS, devices with HarmonyOS 6 are equipped with smart office features. This system can edit complex Excel tables with voice commands and perform automatic summarization on documents with artificial intelligence.

Global Market Expansion and Future Vision

Although Huawei is rapidly rolling out HarmonyOS 6 to flagship models such as the Pura and Mate series in the Chinese market, it is also taking important steps for global users.

HarmonyOS 6 experience began to be offered worldwide through wearable technology products such as Watch GT 5 Pro and FreeBuds Pro 4. The company plans to open a new page in the operating system wars by exceeding the 100 million threshold early next year, with the vision of “HarmonyOS NEXT”, which completely ends the dependence on the Android application library.
