  "account": "Shenzhen, China – On October 3, 2026, Huawei gathered international journalists for a media roundtable led by Richard Yu. The Executive Director, Chairman of the Investment Review Board, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Consumer BG provided extensive details about Huawei's consumer business and HarmonyOS ecosystem.\n\nYu began his tenure with Huawei in 1993, contributing to early developments such as the first-generation program-controlled switch and playing a key role in establishing Huawei's wireless communications business, which initially focused on GSM. Over the past ten years, Yu has overseen the consumer business with a focus on delivering an AI-powered life experience across five key scenarios: Smart Travel using HIMA, HarmonyOS Office, Smart Home, Fitness & Health, and Entertainment. This approach will continue to be the long-term strategy for Huawei's consumer business in the next decade.\n\nDuring the past 17 years, Huawei invested over CNY1.8 trillion in R&D, increasing its share of annual revenue from 10% to over 20% in recent times. This investment has fostered robust core capabilities, a wealth of intellectual property, and a vast patent portfolio, contributing to numerous technological breakthroughs. The newly launched Mate 90 series smartphones feature the Kirin 9050 Pro chip, with overall device performance 31% higher than its predecessor. The device's components, including the Balong modem, image sensor processor, mobile security processor, Lingxi CPU, Maleoon GPU, and NPU, are all designed by Huawei. These innovations offer enhanced energy efficiency and improved system-level performance.\n\nDespite Huawei's limited access to advanced semiconductor processes, the company recently achieved a breakthrough in the semiconductor domain with LogicFolding technology. Developed under the Tau Scaling Law and unveiled by He Tingbo, head of Huawei's Semiconductor Business Department in May, this technology vertically stacks logic layers and restructures circuit layouts to shorten critical paths and reduce latency. This technology is applied in the Kirin 9050 Pro chip, enabling it to run a 30B MoE on-device AI model.\n\nIn the AI domain, Yu highlighted Huawei's Ascend compute foundation, which powers large models like openPangu, AI capabilities for intelligent driving, and HarmonyOS Celia, comparable to Gemini in Google's Android ecosystem. Huawei also leverages AI to optimize the operations and maintenance of communications network equipment by integrating AI computing power with domestic open-source large models, aiming to boost enterprise and industry productivity worldwide.\n\nHuawei has launched a wide range of products and solutions, including smartphones, PCs, tablets, wearables, TWS audio devices, Smart TVs, home routers, smart home control systems, and intelligent electric vehicles, all supported by Huawei's chip hardware platform and HarmonyOS. HarmonyOS, launched in 2019, has been adopted by over 90 million devices, including smartphones, PCs, and tablets. By the end of this year, this number is expected to surpass 100 million. The HarmonyOS ecosystem boasts more than 450,000 apps and services, with 11 million registered developers, and Huawei has more than 23,000 app innovation partners. Yu expressed gratitude to all partners and developers for their trust and support, also noting Huawei's intention to gradually expand HarmonyOS to the global market in the future. Despite Huawei's once dominant global market share, the company now sells only several million smartphones annually outside China. However, Yu revealed that Huawei is strategically aiming to re-enter the overseas market step by step, with wearables being a primary example. The company holds the No. 1 position in terms of market share in both China and globally for wearables. Other innovative products, such as TWS earphones, have also gained popularity and reached No. 1 in many countries. Huawei's tablet and PC business, once impacted by the loss of Windows and Intel x86 chip access, has found success with HarmonyOS-based tablets. Additionally, CPE routers, designed to provide connectivity to the unconnected in remote and rural areas, have been well-received across various regions outside China, aiding in increased connectivity for many people.",
