Earlier this year, when the first reports of bans on Huawei began, we "heard" that the Chinese company developed her own operating system like an Android replacement.
In May, Huawei added to a blacklist, η οποία ουσιαστικά εμποδίζει την εταιρεία να έχει οποιεσδήποτε συναλλαγές με Αμερικάνικες εταιρείες και να χρησιμοποιεί τα προϊόντα τους. Σε αυτά συμπεριλαμβάνεται και το functional Android system.
At the time, it was thought that Huawei was accelerating work on developing its own operating system as an alternative to Android. The liturgical was even referred to as HongMeng, and the goal was to be released initially in China by the fall.
This would help Huawei reduce the impact of the US ban, as it would have an operating system for its new devices Appliances.
But as it turns out, Huawei is not developing a working replacement for Android, and that the HongMeng operating system is actually an IoT platform.
Huawei President Liang Hua, said at a press conference last week that the company has not yet decided whether to develop an alternative to Android, suggesting that HongMeng, despite being an IoT project, could easily be developed as a complete mobile operating system.
Hongmeng OS is mainly developed for IoT devices and will reduce delays. Concerning the smartphones, we will continue to use the Android operating system and the ecosystem in general as the first choice. We have not yet decided whether Hongmeng OS will be developed as a smartphone operating system in the future.
The United States, however, will begin to grant temporary licenses to sell products to Huawei in a few weeks, so it remains to be seen whether the Chinese company will try to create its own operating system, as a replacement for Android or not.
