[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] The number of users of Huawei's operating system (OS) Hongmeng (Harmony) in China has surpassed 100 million.

According to the 21st Century Business Herald on the 14th, Huawei announced at an online new product launch event held the previous day that "over 100 million customers had completed upgrading to the latest version of the OS, Hongmeng 2, as of the 12th."

On June 2nd, Huawei released Hongmeng 2, an operating system integrated for use across multiple devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablet PCs.

Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group, said, "Hongmeng allows users to easily connect multiple devices across all environments," adding, "It will serve as the foundation for control systems in the Internet of Things era."

Huawei, which previously used EMUI, an operating system based on Google's Android for smartphones, lost access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) due to U.S. sanctions and thus abandoned Android to build its own ecosystem.

Huawei plans to increase the number of Hongmeng users to 400 million by the end of the year.
