It is understood that another domestic operating system is about to be born. It will also take advantage of the open features of AOSP and be compatible with Android applications in the initial stage. Therefore, AOSP will become the basis for the development of domestic operating systems. It is not ruled out that more domestic mobile phone companies will stand behind the giant AOSP. Develop a fully autonomous operating system on your shoulders.
This company is Xiaomi. It was reported earlier that Xiaomi has applied for the domain name "mios.com". Recently, the logo of the MISO system has been reported. Everything seems to indicate that Xiaomi may launch its own operating system MIOS, which will become a domestic mobile phone. Another mobile phone company among the companies that has launched a completely independent operating system.
Xiaomi's development of its own operating system, MIOS, was actually reported as early as 2014, while another domestic mobile phone company developed its own operating system earlier. However, at that time, Google's Android system insisted on its original commitment to openness, so these domestic mobile phone companies finally Didn't launch its own operating system.
In recent years, as Google has stopped licensing a domestic mobile phone company, it has increasingly tightened its restrictions on the Android system. It does not even allow mobile phone companies to develop their own gesture operations. It has also stuffed more and more Google applications into the system, resulting in a bloated system. This is why today's Android system The memory of mobile phones has been increased to 24GB, which takes up more hardware resources and increases the cost of Android phones. Therefore, domestic mobile phone brands are interested in developing their own operating systems.
Absorbing the essence of AOSP and building an independent operating system for mobile phone companies can greatly reduce the difficulty of development and avoid the pitfall of lack of applications in the initial stage. Therefore, domestic mobile phone companies choose to access AOSP in the initial stage to achieve compatibility with Android. This It is a path opened by domestic mobile phone companies based on the reality of the market.
Industry insiders say that AOSP is not owned by Google. It is an open project composed of global mobile phone companies contributing code. Each mobile phone company can develop a completely independent operating system based on AOSP. This is why many domestic mobile phone companies have deeply customized AOSP. reason.
Xiaomi was an early manufacturer that carried out in-depth development of AOSP. In its early years, the MIUI system it developed was once hailed as the most useful domestic system. One of the UI development teams it cooperated with, the Zhuyin Team, also triggered competition among mobile phone companies. In the end, it was Acquired by Xiaomi; later Xiaomi developed the vela system for many smart products instead of using Google's Android wear system. It can be said that Xiaomi has a relatively solid foundation in system development.
However, Xiaomi mobile phones need to go into the international market. Today, nearly 70% of Xiaomi mobile phones are sold in overseas markets. Under such circumstances, Xiaomi has not completely abandoned Android, but continues to cooperate with Google. After all, overseas consumers have little interest in Google applications. It's a necessity.
However, changes in the current situation have prompted mobile phone companies to develop independent operating systems. As a result, these domestic mobile phone companies have promoted independent research and development. It can be expected that more domestic mobile phone brands will develop independent operating systems in the future, which can enhance core competitiveness and learn from AOSP will become a trend for domestic mobile phones to develop independent operating systems.
Chinese mobile phones have become the largest mobile phone force in the world. Their combined market share is greater than that of Apple and Samsung. They can fully support the independent research and development of operating systems. If domestic mobile phone brands all develop their own operating systems, it will be a great success for Google. A bigger blow. Previous data showed that Google’s Android market share has dropped below 70%. It can be seen that China’s self-developed operating system for mobile phones is putting increasing pressure on Google.
