We’ve heard all about Huawei’s HongMeng or Oak OS in recent months, purportedly positioned as a Plan B should the company’s access to Android be affected. Now, the Chinese manufacturer has claimed that the in-house platform isn’t for smartphones after all.However, Huawei board member and senior Vice President Catherine Chen now reportedly says that the new operating system is not meant for smartphones. In fact, she goes on to add that the company intends to continue using Google’s Android OS for its phones.
Chen apparently said about some of its benefits :- Hongmeng is for industrial use, noting that it contains far fewer lines of code than a phone OS, and has much lower latency than a phone, meaning it can process a very high volume of data messages with little delay.
Company chairman Liang Hua said last week that Hongmeng was mainly developed for internet of things (IoT) devices, according to TechNode, and Huawei hasn’t decided if it’ll be applied as a phone OS.
With this news finally out of the way, Catherine states that Huawei is pledged towards using Android for the foreseeable future. Even recently, we reported that HongMeng OS was expected to make its debut in a smart TV, implying that it might be a platform centered around similar products as well as smart appliances. Earlier rumors were stating that Huawei’s custom operating system might be named Kirin OS,with a company executive highlighting the several challenges that the Chinese giant would have to endure when making an Android alternative.
Still, our gut feeling tells us that Huawei might be prepared for a future ban, and it might have an ace up its sleeve in case things get a little dicey. For now, it looks like HongMeng OS wasn’t the Android alternative that nearly everyone thought it would be.
Conclusion :- Huawei will keep using Google’s Android operating system in its phones instead of jumping to its self-developed Hongmeng system.They not going to make any changes in their OS now.
