What's next for Huaweis Hongmeng OS?
With the latest tensions around Huawei and the US, Huawei's own Hongmeng / Oak OS has received some attention. With Huawei leaders who allegedly say the operating system would be ready to go "in a few months" earlier, it appears that the Chinese technological giant has changed its plans.
However, with the limitations of Huawei's relationship with American companies, the G20 Summit in Osaka was partly lifted, this is not so big of a surprise. Huawei revealed to us at a press conference today that they will stick to Android for now. Bill Liu, Huawei's Malaysia head of state, explained that Huawei devices will stay on Android for the foreseeable future.
In the future, we will continue to be an avid fan of the Android ecosystem, and we hope to fully participate in the development of future Android ecosystems. "
However, he admitted that if there are any circumstances in the future where Huawei is barred from being part of the Android ecosystem, Huawei will find a backup plan -It is a sure assumption that Huawei will reach have a greater trajectory of time to fully refine and develop an alternative like Hongmeng OS.
I also asked Bill Liu whether the upcoming Android Q will make way to Huawei's future devices, with the Beta version of the OS update being currently in progress, unfortunately he could not give us a timeline, although he referred to Huawei's slogan: "Make it possible." Could this mean that Huawei is making an effort to ensure the devices get the best and clearest that Android should offer in the future?
In combination with the fact that Huawei will continue to fully engage in the development of future Android ecosystems, and will continue to be "eager fan" of Android, it is likely.
