On April 30, it was reported that the South China Morning Post recruited four insiders and said that Huawei had been developing a mobile operating system with independent intellectual property rights in 2012. It has just been reported that Huawei is under investigation in the United States after ZTE. ZTE has received a 7-year ban from the United States. Apart from base station products, its mobile products are unlikely to continue to use the SoC of Qualcomm series. Whether MTK, Samsung Exynos, or HiSilicon of Huawei, it is unlikely to help ZTE in a short time.
A person familiar with the matter said that in 2012, Huawei and ZTE were both investigated in the United States, and then began to develop independent mobile operating systems, including tablet and computer systems. The project was initiated by Ren Zhengfei to prepare for the "worst case". The main reason why this system is not used now is that it does not have a third-party application ecosystem as big as Android.
In fact, in 2012, Finance and Economics magazine reported Ren Zhengfei's speech, which mentioned that Huawei was developing its own mobile operating platform for strategic reasons in case Microsoft and Google platforms could not be used. In 2016, it was also reported that Chinese brands were developing their own operating systems. The team was headquartered in Scandinavia, including former employees of Nokia.
When Zhao Ming, President of Glory, was asked whether Huawei was developing its own mobile operating system, he replied, "There is no doubt that Huawei has the ability to do this, but at present I think it is unnecessary because we have very close cooperation with Google and will continue to use its Android system." Huawei also said that it has no plans to release its own operating system in the "foreseeable future", Huawei still focuses on Android, but has an "open attitude" towards mobile platforms.
