This 2019 is being an especially tense year for Huawei. Its poor relations with the US government, with a threat of blockade in between, made Hongmeng OS, the company's own system, resonate louder than ever. Since last June 29, with the lifting of the veto by Trump, who more or less has asked himself the following question: what will happen in the end with Hongmeng OS?
Catherine Chen, vice president of Huawei, has cleared the doubts. The executive has confirmed that the company will continue to use Android on its devices and that HongMeng OS will be intended for industrial use, not for the general public. Chen has also taken the opportunity to clarify that this platform has been developing for many years. Logically enough before its problems with the United States, and that it began to consider its use in the event that Google finally turned its back on it, as planned.
In any case, once it has been denied that Huawei is going to replace Android with HongMeng OS, it remains to be known what will happen to Harmony OS, a patent registered on July 12 by the company at the European Union Intellectual Property Office. This patent revealed that Harmony OS could be another own operating system for the manufacturer's terminals. Catherine Chen has not given any response on this. Who knows if Huawei is really planning to create its own system for low cost mobiles in the purest Android One or KaiOS style?
What is a fact is that the company's users can rest assured, Android will continue to rule Huawei phones without any type of restriction or veto. This means that they can continue to receive updates and download applications through Google Play. The news was very well applauded by the Asian, whose sales fell only in Spain by 30% during the first days of the announcement of the veto.
