Back to the question mentioned at the beginning of the article, why is YunOS 3.0 an independent operating system instead of Android? You may wish to compare the architecture diagrams of YunOS 3.0 and Andorid systems to see the essential differences between them.

The mobile terminal of YunOS 3.0 is based on Linux kernel and open source libraries such as WebKit, OpenGL and SQLite. Web-based cloud computing is widely used in application layer and API, adopting the latest HTML5 technology. Ordinary people may not be familiar with HTML5, but developers should be familiar with it.
Some netizens may say that China's internet speed is so slow, how easy is it to use the "cloud"? To correct a misunderstanding here, YunOS does not mean to put everything in the cloud, but to speed up the operation in the cloud, so that it does not need to consume too much hardware resources of the mobile phone itself, effectively reducing the occupation of storage space and running memory.
Whether it is the newly released YunOS 3.0 or the upcoming Meizu MX4 Flyme equipped with YunOS, you can enter the YunOS application by swiping left on the home screen (below). Because the new version of YunOS 3.0 uses local caching technology, the size card you see is not a simple page, but an independent APP, similar to Microsoft's Win8/ 10 tile. At present, although the number of independent YunOS applications is small, they are all practical boutique apps, which basically cover eating, drinking and having fun.

Many users may worry that "cloud applications" will consume a lot of traffic, but there is no need to worry. Because these apps get rid of the framework and structure of Android system, they are already highly optimized lightweight applications, but they are small in size and very powerful. Through cloud compression technology, they save more traffic than local apps.
Imagine if a YunOS is suddenly created for you, I believe many people will definitely not accept it, so Ali YunOS chooses to be compatible with Android local applications, which is also an important reason why Ali YunOS is misunderstood as being based on the secondary development of Android, but in fact there are essential differences between the two. The choice of developing your own system can be described as independent. The original intention of YunOS development is to build an independent operating system and form its own ecosystem, which is also the key to measure the success of the operating system.
And why do you want to make your own system instead of using an optimized customized Android system? A big factor is that most of the current mobile terminal systems are controlled by foreign Internet companies. Regardless of information security, if one day Android is popular all over the world, will Google start charging royalties? I'm afraid it's too late to mend.
Microsoft is a living case. When Windows XP system and Office software became popular, Microsoft deliberately turned a blind eye and connived at Chinese people using pirated systems and software. This tactic defeated WPS in Jinshan, which led to the depression of China software market. Even if it is really difficult to make a good software to make users pay the bill. When piracy swept the whole market, Microsoft began to sue. Now, large, medium and small enterprises in China have to pay for their expensive operating systems and office software.
Let's talk about something closer. As the saying goes, once you enter telecommunications, it is as deep as the sea. From then on, mobile phones are hard to buy. Users of telecom mobile phones may feel deeply that there are not only a few types of telecom mobile phones, but also mobile phones with the same configuration. As long as the telecom version is higher than the mobile Unicom version, the price ranges from 100 to several hundred yuan. These differences are the patent fees that operators must pay to Qualcomm. As the saying goes, the wool is on the sheep, and these are still paid by ordinary users.
