The open-source OS openEuler is expected to surpass 16 million installations by the end of this year, according to Huawei.

Addressing an operating system conference in Beijing, Huawei executive Yang Chaobin said the relentless pace of AI-driven change in every industry is creating computing needs that exceed what traditional clusters can provide.

He emphasized Huawei’s commitment to fostering a healthy open-source ecosystem by opening its core technologies to industry partners. As a key contribution, the company has provided the open-source Euler community with an operating system plugin that supports supernodes, delivering essential capabilities including unified memory addressing, low-latency heterogeneous computing, and global resource pooling.

The openEuler community, now in its sixth year, reports widespread global adoption with support from 2,100 organizations and a contributor base exceeding 23,000 individuals. The project has also recorded over 5.5 million users.

However, the cumulative user base for the operating system is expected to grow to more than 16 million by the end of 2025.

Major names like AMD, Inspur Cloud, and Digital China have joined the openEuler community this year, propelling its install base to record levels. The operating system is also seeing sustained growth in popularity across China’s industrial sector.

It is widely applied to industries such as the internet, networking, government affairs, finance, public utilities, and energy.

Amid ongoing work on new smartphones, Huawei continues its regular security maintenance by releasing the November 2025 patch details for EMUI and HarmonyOS. The update resolves numerous security vulnerabilities across a variety of eligible devices.

Huawei has begun rolling out the HarmonyOS 6.0.0.20 update to the Watch GT 5 Pro, bringing the highly anticipated tap-to-pay functionality. For now, access is limited to participants of the early testing program.

The September 2024-introduced Huawei Watch GT 5 series offers both standard and Pro variants. These watches boast a vibrant palette including Titanium Silver and Glacier White, alongside a long-lasting 14-day battery.

The HarmonyOS 6 beta for the Watch GT 5 Pro packs even more upgrades beyond tap-to-pay. Here’s a look at the other new features.

The update introduces highly customizable sticker watch faces. Beyond choosing from three unique and flexible layouts, the key feature is the ability to upload your own custom stickers. You can display up to five personal images at the same time, enabling deep personalization for a unique look.

The new “Module 2025” watch face supports a free combination of various-sized widgets and allows for easy switching of theme colors, boasting that “it looks good no matter how you style it.”

This update enables Alipay’s “Tap to Pay” feature for swift and easy transactions. The process is seamless: just raise your wrist and tap the screen, even from an off state. To protect your payments, a lock screen password must be entered for confirmation if one is set on your watch.

Please note that this feature is currently only available for users in China. A global release has not been announced by Huawei.
