AppGallery Awards 2025 List Released: A High - end "Product Promotion" for Digital Life

While everyone is lamenting that the mobile internet has entered a "winter" and the traffic dividend is no longer there, the Hongmeng ecosystem has shown a completely different explosive power. In just over a year, the total number of available applications and services has exceeded 300,000. This "growth against the trend" makes us wonder: Why, when the entire industry is focusing on cost reduction and efficiency improvement, do many enterprises still want to bear the cost of starting from scratch and actively integrate into the Hongmeng ecosystem? On December 8th, the AppGallery Awards 2025 list officially released by Huawei AppGallery may provide some clues.

This list is not only a collective recognition of the outstanding applications and games in the past year but also a clear judgment of the evolution direction of the Hongmeng ecosystem. What it reflects behind is a profound supply - side reform. When the core pain point of users has shifted from "getting applications" to "screening high - quality products", how the platform can achieve efficient matching between people and goods through mechanism innovation has become a key indicator to measure the maturity of its ecosystem. At the same time, it also sends a clear signal: AppGallery has gone beyond the role of a traditional app store. It has created an "exclusive showcase" for applications and games with both innovative experiences and aesthetic judgment and built a "meeting room" where developers and users can have effective conversations. Relying on the huge base of 27 million terminal devices in the Hongmeng ecosystem,

AppGallery is committed to actively discovering and highlighting those "stars" that are not only useful and fun but also represent future trends through dual insights into technology and experience.

Experience Transformation Supported by the Technical Foundation

Looking at the list of winners of the "Apps and Games of the Year", the underlying capabilities of the Hongmeng system have become the core variable driving the upgrade of application experiences. Compared with previous years, this year's short - listed products emphasize the in - depth adaptation of cross - device collaboration and innovative features.

"Remy", which was awarded the "Mobile App of the Year", is a typical representative of this trend. As an exclusive application in the Hongmeng ecosystem, it is not limited to the function stacking of a single device. Instead, it uses the distributed capabilities of HarmonyOS 6 to break through the boundary between Huawei Gallery and 3D image processing. Coupled with the "tap - to - share" mechanism between devices, it has elevated the interaction dimension of content creation to a new level.

In the productivity scenario, "WPS Mobile", the "Tablet App of the Year", has built a real - sense full - scenario mobile office closed - loop by solving the pain point of broken - point file transfer between multiple devices. Documents that are not completed on the mobile phone can be seamlessly transferred to the tablet, and image materials can be directly inserted across devices.

The game field also shows the tension of the combination of hardware and software. "Peak of Glory" has explored the performance limit of the mobile terminal through 120 - frame super - frame technology and adaptive stable - state rendering. And "Plants vs. Zombies 3", as the first IP work to land on Hongmeng, uses distributed technology to allow the game experience to continue freely between different devices, realizing a coherent narrative of fragmented entertainment.

Reconstructing the Life Map with Data Insights

If the apps of the year show the height of technology, then the "Apps and Games with the Most Influence of the Year" reflect AppGallery's keen capture of social emotions and behavioral trends. This list is not just a simple data ranking but is based on a deep analysis of the digital life trends in 2025.

According to data from institutions such as QuestMobile, AI agents have become a new traffic entry point. The short - listed "Quark" and "Doubao" confirm the industrial implementation from large models to intelligent assistants and also highlight the underlying support of the Hongmeng system for AI computing power and intelligent interaction. "Mountain Walk" has replaced "City Walk" as the new outdoor favorite, driving the growth of user stickiness of "AutoNavi Maps" and "Two Steps Outdoor Assistant". In the face of social emotional fluctuations, the selection of "Now Meditation", "Simple Psychology" and other "electronic ibuprofen" - like applications, combined with the system's immersive experience ability, provides users with a spiritual habitat.

In addition, the popularity of "search - play - withdraw" games also cannot do without the underlying support of the Hongmeng system for high - performance picture quality and operation stability, which makes the gaming experience of products like "Delta Force" more extreme.

Platform Evolution: From Distribution to Service

Beyond content selection, the product form of AppGallery itself is also constantly evolving. Through a simplified layout, it allocates more traffic to high - quality content itself. This "blank space" design is essentially a respect for users' attention.
More importantly, the "automatic application synchronization" function launched for multi - device users realizes "one - time download, seamless installation on multiple devices". This not only significantly reduces users' device management costs but also provides developers with a low - cost fast - track to reach full - scenario users. Coupled with the improvement of compliance services such as privacy policy hosting, AppGallery is building a transparent, safe and efficient ecological closed - loop.

Conclusion: 

The AppGallery Awards 2025 list is not only a collection of honors but also a microcosm of the evolution of the Hongmeng ecosystem, reflecting a new "symbiotic relationship" between the operating system and applications. Through "curating", AppGallery has witnessed the qualitative change of the ecosystem from "usable" to "loved".

At the same time, this also marks that the Hongmeng ecosystem has entered a mature stage of pursuing quality. The short - listed applications are a firm vote of developers for the full - scenario future. As the core connector, AppGallery conveys the deep - seated value of "find apps on AppGallery". It is not only an entrance to a smart life but also a fertile ground for innovation, jointly outlining the future digital life form.
