The biggest news in the tech world now is the President Trump’s executive order to restrict US companies from transacting with Huawei.

This resulted to Google revoking Huawei’s Android license. Though, the US Department of Commerce has already eased the restrictions, but it is obvious that the company is worried about its future with Android.

After the news, many assumed that they would simply build an operating system based on AOSP (Android without Google services). However, it may not be so simple since they could not use any operating system that contains copyrights belonging to a US company.

The company has been working on a backup operating system since 2012 and now we know a little more about it.

According to a report by the huaweicentral, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, has revealed details about the Huawei operating system.

Apparently, it will be available this fall on phones, computers, tablets, televisions, cars and wearables. The operating system will be compatible with all Android applications and can also be recompiled to improve performance.

This news of support for Android applications is very important, since other Android alternatives, such as Tizen, are not compatible with Android applications.

Huawei HongMeng

According to our earlier reports, Huawei has confirmed that it’s preparing to release the company’s own mobile operating system dubbed HongMeng, after Google said it will restrict Huawei’s Android service. Tim Watkins, vice president of Huawei’s Western Europe operations, said that Huawei has been building the system.

According to him, it has been tested in some parts of China and is expected to be launched soon. In March of this year, Huawei’s consumer business CEO, Yu Chengdong, said that Huawei has already prepared its own operating system. Once the Google and Microsoft operating systems can no longer be used, Huawei will be ready to start the B plan.
