| Huawei shows its developments in developing Android competitor |
Huawei is expected to share its progress in developing an Android competitor called HarmonyOS on Thursday and responding to the latest US technology limitations.
OS is considered as the best choice to replace Google Android mobile OS.
Richard Yu, president of Huawei Consumer Business Group, delivered a speech at the annual developer conference in Dongguan. This is expected to be the company's first official response to the Trump administration to prevent the company from obtaining the chips.
In August, the United States expanded its previous restrictions to prevent Huawei from receiving semiconductors, including chips made by foreign companies that use US software or technology for design or manufacture, without special permission.
Analysts said: These restrictions threaten Huawei's position as the world's largest smartphone maker. If the chip is not available, its activity in the smartphone area completely disappears.
With Sino-US relations deteriorating for the worse in decades, Washington is urging governments around the world to ban Huawei on the grounds that it will leak data to the Chinese government for espionage purposes, and Huawei denies they are monitoring China.
Huawei will also announce its progress in developing an Android competitor called HarmonyOS, which the company calls a multi-device platform that includes watches, laptops, and phones, rather than a mobile OS competitor. Android from Google.
The Android HarmonyOS competitor made its debut at last year's developer conference.
A Huawei spokesperson said: We will show the community a number of new technological developments, including (HMS Core 5.0) and (EMUI 11), and provide an opportunity to have open discussions with our engineers directly, as they manage new technologies and market opportunities. He pointed out that there are 1.6 million developers in the company.
Last May, Huawei was added to the list of US companies, which prevented Google from providing technical support for new models of Huawei phones running Android and Google Mobile Services (GMS), the developer on which most Android applications depend. Group of services.
The company could focus on HarmonyOS for devices like wearables and smart screens, rather than smartphones, which have been hit hard by US stocks. So it hopes it doesn't want (HarmonyOS) as a true alternative to Android ahead of the US elections in November. . You will be granted access to Google again.
The biggest challenge facing Huawei is to prove that Huawei's AppGallery and mobile services store can integrate local applications from different countries and regions, as the lack of Google services will significantly reduce the attractiveness of these devices to the competitors released.
