Huawei's Hongmeng OS 2.0 is officially here. Whether it can be revived depends on it

Hongmeng OS 2.0 has finally come to the fore from rumors, with five major capabilities: cross-device, service flow, ultra-fast direct access, visual and verbal, and privacy and security.

According to Huawei's official statement, Hongmeng OS 2.0 is based on a distributed application framework, which further breaks the hardware limitations of a single physical device and combines different devices into "super terminals" for different scenarios, bringing more new experiences in scenarios such as smart home, mobile office, smart travel, audio and video entertainment, and distance learning.

For example, with the support of Hongmeng OS 2.0, mobile phone navigation can work with watches and provide vibration reminders when turning and changing lanes.

In addition, the adaptive UX framework of Hongmeng OS 2.0 allows developers to quickly reach tens of millions of new devices and achieve adaptation for large and small screens, and for horizontal and vertical screens.

Not only that, Hongmeng OS 2.0 also supports visual and verbal AI empowerment, allowing the App Shujian to gain voice interaction capabilities, support automatic screen recognition, and you speak and I listen.

It is reported that Hongmeng OS 2.0 will release a Beta version for application developers, and will be released for large screens, watches, and car machines on September 10, and for mobile phones in December 2020. Next year, Huawei smartphones will be fully upgraded to support Hongmeng 2.0.
