Originally, the company had its own store “App Gallery” built in the terminal and recommended the application to users, but this operation is in full swing. Like Google and Apple, the pioneer’s app developers himself. GMS also includes various services and APIs prepared by Google for application developers, but we plan to replace them with our own. A package of App Gallery and various APIs is called “HMS (Huawei Mobile Services)”. Is such a third path really successful? Considered the possibility.

Huawei who has begun to walk the “third road”, can we make use of past failures
Huawei, who had no choice but to give up the adoption of GMS, began to introduce HMS terminals in earnest in Japan, starting with the “Mate 30 Pro 5G” released in April. In June, in addition to the P series flagship model “P40 Pro 5G”, which has a well-established camera function, the middle range “P40 lite 5G” and “P40 lite E”, which have supported the company’s breakthrough, are also introduced. Both models are HMS compatible models, which are different from general Android, though they are Android.
From the new model released in April, the installation of HMS has started. The latest model P40 Pro 5G in the photo is also HMS compatible
With the expansion of terminals, we started to earnestly cultivate app developers in Japan. In addition to rolling out the 1 billion dollars “Shining Star Program” that is being implemented globally in Japan, we have also established a department to support domestic developers. At the P40 Pro 5G presentation, the navigation app “NAVITIME” and the video service “U-NEXT” were introduced, and each executive commented on their expectations. “LINE”, which has become a de facto standard app with a high penetration rate in Japan, is already available in the HMS version in the App Gallery.
We are strengthening contact with developers, and the number of apps originating from Japan is gradually increasing
Huawei has begun to take the Ѓgthird roadЃh, but there have been moves against iOS and Android in the past. “Tizen”, which was developed mainly by South Korean Samsung Electronics and NTT Docomo, “Firefox OS” developed by the US Mozilla Foundation, and “Windows 10 Mobile” by Microsoft. Terminals using two platforms except Tizen were also released in Japan, but the service provider was terminated before it rang and skipped.
There are various causes, but it is common that there were not enough applications at the beginning of the launch, the number of users was stagnant, and in such a situation, a vicious cycle occurred where it was difficult for application developers to participate. ing. Regarding the sales of terminals and the number of users, and the degree of enrichment of applications is related to chicken or eggs first, but it is a hurdle to compete with iOS and Android that already had a sufficient share at the time of scale economy Is high. Unfortunately, the opposition forces have been unable to overcome the obstacles.
There has been a movement toward the “third OS” and “third platform” in the past. The photo shows “Fx0”
of the Firefox OS-equipped terminal sold by KDDI.
There is a complementary method, but there are still not enough apps closely related to life App Gallery
How far can Huawei smartphones with HMS actually be used in contrast to the past Ѓgthird platformЃh that was dead and dead? I also bought P40 lite 5G and tried using App Gallery. In conclusion, the frank impression is that it is still tough to use as the main terminal.

For example, since there is a LINE, it is possible to contact friends and family. Although it does not support Google’s services, “Google Maps” can be replaced by the Web, and “Gmail” can be sent and received by using a mailer. “Facebook” has an app, and can be used in the same way as GMS-equipped Android, and “Twitter” can be viewed and posted via the Web. Also, some apps can be downloaded from the “Amazon App Store” provided by Amazon, which complements the App Gallery.
