Huawei's all-scenario ecosystem "shows its edge" at the China International Consumer Products Expo: Understanding the evolution of smart life.

No one can stop the historical wheel from accelerating forward. The surging wave of artificial intelligence is not just a fission triggered by a general-purpose technology in this era; it is a comprehensive reshaping of social and economic life.

Today, what connects people with all things in the world is not the ancient and distant homing pigeon message delivery, but the digital signals transmitted between various logical units in hardware terminals. Especially with the advent of the AI era, the communication network is no longer just a traditional connection path; it is a "high-speed computing power railway" for transporting AI. The tentacles of intelligence will also extend to every corner of the digital world along with more diverse terminal forms.

An undeniable fact is that it is people's imagination of future life that prompts technology companies to continuously innovate and open up new lifestyles with revolutionary intelligent terminals one after another.

This user-centered innovation orientation also endows technology itself with strong consumer attributes. In other words, intelligent terminals are not just cold hardware; they are the touchpoints that manufacturers long to embed in users' all-day life scenarios. How to use these touchpoints to create a future-oriented all-scenario smart life for users has become a new proposition for terminal device manufacturers to break away from the traditional and innovate in their layout.

Recently, at the 5th China International Consumer Products Expo jointly hosted by the Ministry of Commerce and the People's Government of Hainan Province, Huawei showcased its entire range of products in the HarmonyOS ecosystem. With HarmonyOS as the core axis, the exhibition experience link including the 1+8 product area, Harmony Smart Home, and Harmony Smart Mobility became a concrete expression of Huawei's 1+8+N all-scenario smart life solution.

A question worth answering is: In this hotly contested area for global high-quality consumption, how does Huawei integrate intelligence throughout the entire "car, home, and person" scenarios to establish a new paradigm for future smart life?

All-scenario smart life with multi-terminal linkage reshapes the consumption experience

What defines Huawei's terminals is not a single mobile phone or computer, but a complete all-scenario ecological concept.

As early as 2019, Huawei proposed the "1+8+N" all-scenario smart life strategy. The "1" represents the mobile phone, which used to occupy the position of the super terminal and still has the longest usage time by users today. In fact, it is also the core connection point between users and the all-scenario ecosystem. The "8" represents terminal products such as PCs, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and wearable devices, while the "N" represents more general IoT devices. The reason why these diverse terminals can exist and be needed by users is that they can penetrate into more life scenarios and expand the demand map of the Internet of Everything.

Whether it is daily life, business work, transportation, or sports and health, with the distributed capabilities of the HarmonyOS operating system and the support of root technologies such as 5G, AI, and cloud computing, intelligence can flow seamlessly between different devices, thus breaking the barriers of spatial scenarios. The all-scenario intelligent connection of the car, home, and person is a complete interpretation of Huawei's all-scenario smart life solution at the Consumer Expo exhibition booth.

In the 1+8 product area, Huawei's Pura X, the world's first wide-foldable screen mobile phone, made its debut with a 16:10 golden ratio wide design. Users can quickly start an immersive conversation with the intelligent assistant Xiaoyi by swiping right on the 3.5-inch square external screen. Now, with the support of the Pangu and DeepSeek dual models, Xiaoyi can be more "human-like". It can adaptively perceive the user's emotions based on the context and adjust the tone to match different contexts, making users feel more like having a conversation with a real person.

Meanwhile, the AI eye movement page-turning function of Huawei's Pura X also liberates the user's hands. In addition to displaying text content on a large area close to that of a tablet, the AI eye movement page-turning function can automatically turn the page at the end of the page by tracking the user's eye movements in real-time. According to official data, if reading a long novel of 4 million words, traditional touch page-turning requires more than 20,000 operations, while the AI eye movement page-turning can reduce manual operations by an average of 1,500 times per day.

In addition to the new-form Huawei Pura X, Huawei's all-scenario smart life brought a full range of products such as the Huawei WATCH GT 5 and the Huawei Smart Screen V5.

As an important part of the 1+8+N all-scenario ecosystem, the Huawei WATCH GT 5 can also be linked with mobile phones, smart screens, and earphones with one click. For example, users can remotely control their mobile phones to take pictures through the Huawei WATCH GT 5, unlocking more photo-taking fun. Another example is that as long as users log in to the same Huawei account on the Huawei Smart Screen V5 and their mobile phones, they can cast videos, games, and PPTs from their mobile phones to the large screen of the Huawei Smart Screen V5, starting an experience mode of a "giant-screen mobile phone".

In the Harmony Smart Home exhibition area, Huawei also brought the newly upgraded Harmony Smart Home to the Consumer Expo. As a landmark leap in space intelligence, Harmony Smart Home combines Huawei's three major capabilities built in connection, interaction, and ecosystem over the past 30 years, with the support of AI.

Compared with the "problem-solving ideas" of single hardware such as smart screens, smart speakers, smart door locks, and routers, Harmony Smart Home provides a complete set of solutions for space intelligence.

Users can start various scenario modes through multiple interaction modes such as the intelligent central control screen S2, smart voice, and intelligent MINI Pro. For example, the reception mode, movie-watching mode, KTV mode, and rest mode.

How is this set of solutions realized? The answer lies in the micro-kernel architecture of the HarmonyOS operating system, through which Harmony Smart Home can achieve stronger device linkage. This operating system not only supports real-time communication between various devices but also can automatically adjust the home environment through intelligent algorithms.

Therefore, with the support of the underlying technologies of the intelligent host, PLC wired connection, and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the house, Harmony Smart Home has built subsystems for various life scenarios such as lighting, fresh air, and audio-visual entertainment, redefining the relationship between people and space with an immersive, personalized, and growable air-conditioning experience.

Finally, there is the Harmony Smart Mobility exhibition area. As an important part of the all-scenario ecosystem of the car, home, and person, Harmony Smart Mobility brought models such as the panoramic smart flagship SUV AITO M9, the family smart flagship SUV AITO M8, the panoramic smart flagship sedan SERES S9, and the smart family travel SUV ZHIJIE R7.

In the era of automobile intelligence, the cockpit has become an important terminal in the travel space, with strong consumer attributes just like mobile phones, computers, and smart home systems.

Through the interconnection of Huawei's Smart Life APP accounts, users can achieve cross-terminal connection between the home and travel spaces through the preset "Warm Homecoming" and "Safe Departure" scenario buttons on the in-vehicle central control screen.

It is not just the seamless flow of basic services such as maps, navigation, and music, but also the powerful experience brought by the all-scenario ecological interconnection of the car, home, and person. Users can control the associated devices at home through the in-vehicle system, such as smart devices like sweeping robots, air conditioners, purifiers, and lights. Whether they forget to turn off the lights when going out or want to adjust the room temperature in advance when coming home, they can handle both the departure and return.

This is the value of all-scenario smart life. It is no longer dominated by a single device but defined by the intelligent interconnection between multiple devices.

If the hardware devices represented by mobile phones target personal space, the devices represented by smart home systems target family space, and the intelligent cockpit represents travel space, then Huawei's "1+8+N" all-scenario strategy, with the support of the distributed capabilities of the HarmonyOS system, breaks through the physical space barriers of intelligence and shatters the value boundaries of intelligence.

From single-product competition to all-scenario smart life competition: How does intelligence reach every corner of the digital world?

In the era of artificial intelligence, users are the main axis of innovation.

As is well known, algorithms, computing power, and data have always been the "three carriages" of artificial intelligence. If algorithms determine the intelligence level of AI's "brain" and computing power supports the foundation for AI to be implemented, then the indispensable data is the key that directly affects the quality of the AI experience.

In the past, due to the physical barriers between different terminals such as mobile phones and computers, as well as the "walled gardens" built by operating systems and upper-layer application ecosystems, in the era of traditional single-product competition, users focused on a specific function of intelligent terminals.

This led to a series of parameter involution trends in the past few years. Whether it was manufacturers pursuing higher pixel cameras or faster computing speeds of processor chips, the innovation of these single-point technologies never solved the problems of user experience and data fragmentation in the fragmented ecosystem.

However, in the AI era, users are placed at the top of the innovation chain, and data has become the key to the entire experience leap. Especially with the popularization of IoT, AI, and 5G technologies, a smarter and more user-understanding AI must penetrate into users' all-day scenarios.

This is why, from personal to office, from family to travel - as users' demand scenarios become more diverse, so do intelligent terminals - from straight-screen mobile phones to foldable screens, from tablets to PCs, from home TVs to car cockpits.

This is an era of the Internet of Everything. Users need to be able to turn on the air conditioner at home before they even arrive; they need to be able to continue working on unfinished tasks on their computers using tablets when they are out; and they need to be able to upload the health data recorded by their watches to the cloud to get professional health advice.

It can be said that today's consumers value not only the performance of a single product but also the all-scenario smart life solution built around themselves. The change in the competition logic also makes terminal manufacturers no longer stuck in the competition thinking of simple hardware manufacturing capabilities but focus on the integration of software and hardware and ecosystem building.

On the one hand, this integration of software and hardware brings seamless intelligent experiences. Huawei's terminals not only include various forms of intelligent devices such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, cockpits, wearables, and home appliances but also rely on the unique advantage of the HarmonyOS operating system, which allows developers to create applications for multiple devices or platforms with a single set of code in one development project. This not only reduces development costs but also breaks the barriers of terminal hardware, laying the underlying foundation for ecosystem collaboration.

On the other hand, it lies in the construction of a large ecosystem. With an operating system using a unified framework, developers of the HarmonyOS can adapt applications to different devices. As of now, there are more than one billion ecological devices equipped with the HarmonyOS, which are widely used in multiple vertical fields such as finance, education, and healthcare.

The interconnection of the car, home, and person at the Consumer Expo exhibition booth adds a new footnote to Huawei's all-scenario smart ecosystem. Huawei's terminals, including mobile phones, wearables, cockpits, and Harmony Smart Home, have built a complete and mature all-scenario life solution, continuously bringing intelligent experiences to every corner of the digital world.

For the intelligent terminal industry, it means a paradigm shift from single-product competition to all-scenario smart life competition; for millions of users, it also continues to write the evolution of smart life through the dual-dimensional reconstruction of technology and ecosystem. Huawei's all-scenario smart ecosystem "shows its sword" at the Consumer Expo, providing a better solution for the reshaping of the future by intelligence.
