The veto imposed on Huawei by the US government, which would start on August 19, would have forced the company to think about new strategies at full throttle. One of its main obstacles is the impossibility of being able to continue using Android on its new devices. This would have encouraged him to create his own mobile operating system, which could see the light of day in less than a month.
Some rumors maintain that this new platform would be called HongMeng OS. However, in the last few hours a new document from the European Union Intellectual Property Office has been leaked, which indicates that the trade name would be Ark OS. It is known that this software will be compatible with all Huawei equipment (mobiles, tablets, wearables and computers). Richard Yu, CEO of the company, confirmed to a Chinese media that his system will be able to run any Android application. In addition, he announced that Ark OS will be up to 60% faster and more stable.
And, since the manufacturer will no longer be able to use the Play Store, what will happen to the application store? Apptoide, one of the Android app stores, would have been negotiating with Huawei to become the replacement for the Play Store in the company's devices. Likewise, the Asian would also rely on App Gallery, its own application platform, to permanently move away from the Google service. In any case, at the moment all this information must be taken with caution, since it is not official.
It should be noted that the veto imposed by Donald Trump on Huawei begins on August 19. Therefore, if you have a company mobile until then, everything will remain the same. If no solutions are taken in this regard, from that day on, the company's terminals would stop receiving security updates for Android, leaving them exposed to vulnerabilities and security problems. However, everything indicates that by the time the time comes, Huawei will be ready and Ark OS could be the solution. We will continue to inform you as soon as we have new details.
