1 + 1 is sometimes more than 2, which is how the Huawei ecosystem works

The ecosystem in the context of new technologies means using the principle of synergy. Several devices of the same brand can do more than similar class devices from the same category, each of which comes from a different company. We explain how it works using the example of Huawei.

We have a whole lot of categories of electronic devices, because in addition to smartphones in electronics stores, we can buy tablets, notebooks, desktops, smart watches, wireless headphones, intelligent bathroom scales, e-book readers, game consoles ... You can exchange for a long time.

How do we buy electronics?

When looking for a device from a given category for ourselves, we usually compare it with other devices of this class in terms of parameters. We have expectations in terms of functionality and preferences in terms of appearance, and most often we check the price-quality ratio and performance before making a decision.

It turns out that often the choice that seems obvious to us at first glance is not optimal at all - especially if we look a bit wider. Many people forget that electronic devices don't exist in a vacuum. Our devices also communicate with each other. … Players know about it subcutaneously.

In video games, often completing equipment from one set gives its owner additional benefits.

Often, even the most expensive pieces of equipment, when each comes from a different parish, will not provide such an optimal character build in the game as a one-color set, the individual elements of which are of a similar class, and sometimes cost less. It is the same with electronics in this world of ours.

The Huaweia portfolio is proof that it works. The company under one flag binds both many devices that exchange information online and services under Huawei Mobile Services. The products themselves are great, but only entering the ecosystem makes them fully utilized.

Huawei ecosystem

Of course, the heart of the Huaweia ecosystem are smartphones. The manufacturer uses the Android system in them, but it has been significantly modified due to the EMUI overlay. The manufacturer also reinstalled many applications that are customers of online services. So what can Huawei phone users count on?

The basis is Huawei ID, or Huawei account. It gives access to the Huawei Cloud, thanks to which you can store your data on the server and have it wherever we have access to the Internet connection. With the help of this service, you can backup and sync between your devices:

• backup copies;
• files;
• pictures;
• notes;
• calendars;
• contacts;
• health data;
• themes;
• purchased multimedia materials;
• and many others.

The company's offer also includes an application store, i.e. the Huawei AppGallery. You can download programs from third parties there. In many cases, Huawei has partnered with the developers of these programs, thanks to which its customers can count on profits that people choosing other smartphones do not have.

In addition to smartphones, Huawei also offers laptops, and synergy is also present here, thanks to Huawei Share OneHop.

In the case of laptops, Huawei uses Windows 10, but just like on smartphones with the EMUI overlay, it also gives something from itself here. The solution called Huawei Share OneHop allows you to conveniently exchange information between selected computers with Microsoft software and an Android mobile device.

Thanks to this function, it is enough to put the phone to the laptop housing for the NFC chips in both devices to exchange information with each other. The number of Huawei Share OneHop features is impressive, and the integration of devices from both categories is not limited to data transfer only. The list includes:

• convenient transmission of multimedia materials;
• recording of computer screen to smartphone memory;
• viewing files from the phone memory on a computer;
• automatic clipboard synchronization.

In addition, the computer can display the image from the smartphone in real time and operate mobile applications with the keyboard and mouse - as if they were running from a PC. Thanks to this, you do not have to take your phone out of your pocket to reply to, for example, a message sent on a mobile communicator.

The window with the mobile application works just like an ordinary desktop application, and you can use the drag & drop method to transfer files, which will allow you to upload a photo straight from the notebook disk to mobile social networks - it probably couldn't be easier. The icing on the cake is receiving calls and SMS on the computer.

The data collected on the smartphone can also be synchronized with tablets.

People who buy a tablet from the same company for a Huawei smartphone will find exactly the same applications on it that they use on their smartphone. After logging in to the Huawei ID account, the above-mentioned types of data will flow to the other equipment by themselves and the compatibility between them will be maintained from now on.

Customers who choose tablets from other manufacturers are in a slightly worse position. To achieve a similar level of integration between the two devices - there is no guarantee that it will work at all - they have to test and install programs that will allow for something similar.

Smartwatches, wireless headphones, speakers, routers and even smart scales are also part of the Huawei ecosystem.

This ecosystem is not limited to these three most popular hardware platforms, i.e. smartphones, computers and tablets - thanks to the principle of convergence, choosing other equipment with the Huawei logo increases the possibilities of the entire set, like a unique armor in an RPG game.

For this reason, Huawei gadgets worth considering are smartwatches and headphones. Watches can count steps and calories burned and send this data to applications that help, for example, in weight loss, and the wireless headset can be paired without messing around with the settings.

After opening the case, the headphone icon appears directly on the smartphone's desktop.

Customers can also easily send audio content from phones to speakers (such as the new ones called Huawei Sound X ) by touching the housing of one device with the other, and information about our weight goes to the cloud automatically. The best part is… this is just the beginning.

It is important that the Huawei equipment ecosystem is not only about entertainment. Gadgets with the company's logo allow you to take care of your health by sending training information to your phone, which can be correlated with food data and your weight thanks to smartphone applications that have access to data from various devices.

Huawei did not say the last word in terms of ecosystem and synergy, and the development that the company has made in recent years is worth noting. It is also worth looking at it further, because the benefits of having many Huaweia devices will certainly be even more in the future than today.
