Casting our minds back to the dawn of 2026, the HarmonyOS ecosystem has made a sweeping breakthrough. Following the launch of HarmonyOS 5 in October 2024, the HarmonyOS system has witnessed rapid growth. By the close of 2025, the combined number of terminal devices running HarmonyOS 5 and HarmonyOS 6 had surged past 32 million. Within this thriving ecosystem, over 350,000 apps and atomic services were readily accessible, boasting an adaptability rate exceeding 95% and spanning 18 key sectors, such as social networking, shopping, and transportation. Industry giants like Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance have fully embraced the system. National-level apps including WeChat, Taobao, and Douyin have been seamlessly integrated, presenting a plethora of exclusive features. Driven by AI, HarmonyOS 6 has revolutionized human-computer interaction logic, delivering an intelligent experience that goes beyond expectations. It comes packed with innovative features like the Xiaoyi AI assistant, Live Window, and Touch-to-Share. The ascent of the HarmonyOS ecosystem hasn't merely shattered the long-standing duopoly in mobile operating systems; it has also offered a 'Chinese solution' to foster the diversification of the global digital ecosystem.
