Have you ever felt that mobile phone systems are really a "pit"? Without mentioning anything else, just talking about Android, the long-term use leads to lag and crashes, which are really hard for us users to bear! Just like our familiar "old friend," although we have no choice but to use it, we can't stop complaining about it. You say, we have endured for so many years, why can't we change to a new way of living?

Recently, there's a "big scoop" that has come out. Thundersoft, a technology leader in Android with a market value of 700 billion, has surprisingly chosen to "defect" from the Android camp and directly joined Huawei's HarmonyOS! It's not an exaggeration to call it a defection. You know, Thundersoft has been deeply involved in Android development and has been thriving. Now, it suddenly drops Android and starts working on HarmonyOS, even preparing to invest 1 billion to establish a HarmonyOS business division, and plans to invest this money into HarmonyOS over the next three years. How determined is that?

How should we understand this matter? It's actually not difficult. To put it bluntly, Thundersoft has sensed the change in the market's direction. Huawei has been heavily suppressed by U.S. sanctions in recent years, but it has managed to carve out a path with its self-developed HarmonyOS. They have the confidence, not only in terms of solid technology but also in directly challenging the monopoly of Android and Apple. A company like Thundersoft choosing to make a heavy bet at this time seems like they are "betting on" the future. This is a "strategic defection," in plain terms - I see HarmonyOS has a chance.

Some people might ask, how did these Android technology experts at Thundersoft take a liking to HarmonyOS? This is actually quite understandable: Android now gives people an impression of being too "old," with slow updates and poor experiences, and the lag often drives users crazy. Not to mention that the Android camp is still living uncomfortably under the shadow of the United States. In contrast, HarmonyOS, although starting late, Huawei's resilience is undeniable. HarmonyOS has been advancing at an extremely fast pace since its launch, integrating mobile phones, home appliances, and vehicles, all aiming for an integrated intelligent ecosystem. This is not about competing in hardware, we are competing in the "industrial chain"!

Thundersoft's bet on HarmonyOS this time is essentially an accurate judgment of Huawei's potential for rise. The 1 billion invested is not just about the money at hand, they are aiming for the future. If HarmonyOS can successfully open up the market, Thundersoft will not only not lose but may even take the first-class seat in the operating system ecosystem. It's like buying a lottery ticket early, if HarmonyOS really becomes the world's third-largest operating system, the return will not be doubled, it will be astronomical.

Of course, if HarmonyOS really wants to challenge Android and Apple, the road is not easy. Thundersoft's joining is undoubtedly a strong stimulant, but relying on just one company is far from enough. To shake the market position of Android and Apple, more technology companies and developers must stand up and work together to improve the entire software and hardware ecosystem. This "ecosystem," in plain terms, is that you have to make users feel: Hey, this HarmonyOS is really easy to use, I will rely on it for my mobile phone, home appliances, and car in the future! Relying on just an operating system is not enough, software and hardware integration, developers are willing to follow you, and users spread the word, only then can we truly challenge the position of Android and Apple in the industry.

But even so, Thundersoft's "defection" has reminded everyone: Maybe our mobile phone market really has a third possibility. Think about it, Android has been so frustrating to use in recent years, and Apple is so expensively shocking, the emergence of HarmonyOS has given us a completely new choice. Moreover, this is not a simple system competition, but a testament to the Chinese technology industry's ability to withstand pressure and develop independently. As a consumer, don't you want to try this "new flavor"?

Finally, I want to ask: How long do you want to endure the old problems of the Android system that drive people crazy? What do you think about Thundersoft's "defection" and the rise of HarmonyOS?
