Huawei confirms that it will use its operating system as an alternative to Android in the worst-case scenario only

It has long been known that Huawei is working to create its own operating system. Not the light operating system you use in its new smart hours, but a full operating system that can replace the Android system in its smartphones. The company has now confirmed that it is already working on its own operating system with the reference that it will act as an alternative to the Android system in the worst possible scenario. This includes the withdrawal of the Android license from Huawei by Google.

This scenario was almost achieved with ZTE, which has been hit by sanctions by the US government for violating trade sanctions against Iran and North Korea. But ZTE later settled its dealings with the US authorities and managed to breathe life into itself again.

Huawei confirmed to South China Morning Post that it has developed its own operating system for smartphones and computers. It plans to use it in its own devices if Google prevents it from using the Android system. Huawei decided to develop its operating system for fear that the US government would pressure Google to prevent Huawei from using the Android system in its mobile devices. The relationship is currently tense between the United States and the Chinese company.

Huawei's Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Richard Yu, said: "We have set up our operating system. If it turns out that we can no longer use these systems, we will be ready and have alternative plan B ".

Huawei does not expect to use its own operating system, a spokesman said. "Frankly, we do not want to use it." Huawei also fully supports the operating systems of its partners. "We love to use them and our customers love to use them," he said. Android and Windows will always be our first choices. "

With the escalating trade tensions between the United States and China and Huawei's ongoing problems with the US government, it is no surprise that the company now confirms that it has a viable alternative if it is denied access to operating systems belonging to US companies.
