Huawei Smartphones: Selbst entwickeltes System – Meine Erfahrungen mit HarmonyOS

Hey Leute! Let's talk Huawei and their own operating system, HarmonyOS. I’ve been a bit of a techie my whole life, always diving headfirst into the latest gadgets. And boy, did I have some feelings when Huawei got hit with those US sanctions. Remember that? It felt like the rug was pulled out from under a whole lotta people who loved their Huawei phones. Suddenly, no more Google services – a total bummer for anyone used to the Google ecosystem.

<h3>Der Sprung ins Ungewisse: Mein erster HarmonyOS-Kontakt</h3>

My first experience with HarmonyOS was… well, let's just say it wasn't love at first sight. I remember getting my hands on a Huawei P50 Pro – a gorgeous phone, no doubt – and feeling completely lost. Where was Gmail? Where was Maps? It was like learning a whole new language. The initial learning curve was steep. I felt like a total noob. I spent hours fiddling with settings, downloading apps from the Huawei AppGallery, and generally cursing my impatience.

It felt incredibly frustrating. I mean, I'm tech-savvy, but navigating a completely new OS without the familiar comfort of Google apps? It was a real challenge. I almost wanted to throw the phone across the room. Almost.

<h3>HarmonyOS: Überraschend gut, aber nicht perfekt</h3>

But, here’s the thing: I stuck with it. And you know what? HarmonyOS grew on me. It’s not a perfect copy of Android, and it'll never be. But it’s actually pretty darn good. It's smooth, intuitive after a while and, dare I say, has some features I actually prefer to Android. The multitasking capabilities, for example, are killer – much better than what I'm used to on Android. I could easily switch between apps and even run multiple apps in split-screen mode – seriously useful for productivity.

<h3>Die AppGallery: Ein wachsendes Ökosystem</h3>

One of my biggest initial concerns was the AppGallery. I worried that I would be missing out on a ton of apps. While it's true that some popular apps are missing – like some banking apps, some game apps and more – it's surprisingly comprehensive. And it's improving all the time. They've gotten a lot smarter about recommending relevant apps. I've found most of the apps I actually use regularly are available. Plus, Huawei's Petal Search helps find apps not directly on the AppGallery. A bit of a workaround, but it gets the job done.

<h3>Praktische Tipps für HarmonyOS-Neulinge</h3>

If you’re thinking about switching to a Huawei phone with HarmonyOS, here's my advice:

• Be patient: It takes time to adjust. Don't expect a seamless transition.
• Explore the AppGallery: You might be surprised by what you find.
• Use Petal Search: It’s a lifesaver for finding apps not available on the AppGallery.
• Check for updates: Huawei is constantly improving HarmonyOS. Keep your system up-to-date!
• Embrace the differences: HarmonyOS has its own strengths. Learn to appreciate them.

So, my journey with HarmonyOS wasn’t exactly straightforward. It started with frustration and ended with pleasant surprise. Huawei's self-developed system isn’t a perfect clone of Android, but it’s a viable, improving alternative. And that's pretty impressive, considering the circumstances. It’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking for a solid, unique mobile experience. What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments!
