HarmonyOS 6 and HarmonyOS 7 have now surpassed an impressive 85 million active terminals.
Rapid Growth and Future Projections
This achievement marks a crucial step in the rapid expansion of the HarmonyOS ecosystem. Huawei stated that this milestone provides a solid foundation for the system’s continued rollout. Over the past three years, the number of HarmonyOS-powered devices has seen consistent growth. The company anticipates breaking the 100 million mark by the fourth quarter of this year.
Starting September 7th, the latest version, HarmonyOS 7, began rolling out to the first batch of compatible devices, signaling Huawei’s commitment to bringing its new software experience to a wider audience.
A New Stage for App Experience
Richard Yu also highlighted the advancements in application experience, noting that HarmonyOS apps have entered a new phase of maturity and usability. This suggests that developers are increasingly optimizing their applications for the HarmonyOS platform, leading to a smoother and more reliable user experience.
The announcement was made at the same event that unveiled the new HUAWEI Mate XT 2 and a range of other all-scenario products, underscoring Huawei’s strategy to integrate HarmonyOS across its diverse product lines. The operating system is designed to provide a seamless experience across smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, smart home devices, and more.

The rapid adoption rate suggests that users are receptive to the HarmonyOS platform, attracted by its unique features and the promise of a unified experience across different devices. The continued growth is expected to solidify HarmonyOS’s position as a major player in the operating system landscape.
