From June 20 to 22, Huawei hosted its annual Developer Conference (HDC 2025) at Songshan Lake in Dongguan, under the theme “Cloud for Everything, Intelligence for the Future.” The event unveiled the company’s progress in developing its HarmonyOS, including expanded device adoption, the launch of the Harmony Intelligence Framework, and the upcoming HarmonyOS 6 developer beta.

Why it matters:The HarmonyOS updates mark a key step in Huawei’s efforts to build a self-reliant ecosystem that challenges Android’s dominance in China.

Details: More than 40 devices are now powered by HarmonyOS 5, and over 9,000 apps have joined the push for system innovation under HarmonyOS, said Yu Chengdong, chairman of Huawei’s consumer business group, during HDC 2025.

• Huawei introduced the HarmonyOS Multi-Agent Framework (HMAF), defining a new interaction model between the operating system, applications, and intelligent agents. At the heart of this system is Xiaoyi, the HarmonyOS AI assistant that can understand natural language and coordinate multiple agents to handle tasks across scenarios such as weather, music, and scheduling.
• The developer beta version for HarmonyOS 6 is now open for registration, with the Harmony ecosystem surpassing 30,000 integrated apps. The official release is scheduled for October and is widely expected to debut on Huawei’s next flagship smartphone, the Mate 80 series.
• Huawei announced partnerships with nine companies, including AsiaInfo and Qi An Xin, to advance commercial HarmonyOS solutions.

Context: HarmonyOS is Huawei’s self-developed operating system designed for interaction across smartphones, tablets, wearables, and IoT devices. Launched in 2019 amid US sanctions, it plays a critical role in reducing Huawei’s reliance on Google’s Android and building a unified software ecosystem for its hardware lineup.
