Accused of spy by the United States and banned from the development of 5G in several European countries, Huawei assures his back. In an interview with our colleagues in Die Welt, Richard Yu, the CEO of the company's mobile division, says Huawei has already developed a viable alternative to Android.
Huawei has prepared its own mobile OS as Plan B, says Richard Yu
"We designed our own operating system. If we could no longer use these systems, we would be ready, "says the leader, referring to both Android and Windows. According to a rumor in 2016, this alternative mobile OS would be called Kirin OS "This is our plan B. But of course, we prefer to work with the ecosystems of Google and Microsoft," said the CEO. Has an alternative operating system to Windows also been developed?
For the moment, Huawei does not intend to release its own OS on the market. This is only a way out, in case Google would deprive him of his Android license. In April 2018, Ren Zhengfei, founder of the company, already explained that thanks to this OS "we will not be condemned if they decide to cut us access to Android".
Not surprisingly, Huawei is reluctant to launch a smartphone that is not equipped with Android. As Dr. Wang Chenglu, head of Huawei's consumer software division, said, the manufacturer is concerned that its operating system will not appeal to application developers. What do you think of this ad? Could you crack for a smartphone with Kirin OS? We are waiting for your opinion in the comments.
