The Chinese company Huawei could launch this year a new smartphone with the Android and Windows Phone operating systems installed simultaneously. The fact that Huawei is working on a smartphone with the Windows Phone operating system is no secret, but what is surprising is that this manufacturer has decided to produce a terminal that incorporates two completely different operating systems at the same time.
The decision to install both operating systems on the same mobile could respond to a strategy aimed at convincing users to get used to Windows Phone, and in fact this is what a senior official at the company, Shao Yang, has commented. " If we launched a mobile only with Windows Phone, many users could have certain doubts when buying it ", said Shao Yang to add later that " instead, if users have the possibility to choose between Android and Windows Phone in the same mobile, they would probably have less trouble adapting to Microsoft's operating system . "
This declaration of intent by Huawei directly collides with the last words of Google's top officials. Apparently, Google does not like at all the idea that manufacturers in the mobile phone industry begin to include the Android operating system alongside the Windows Phone operating system in the same device. We must not forget that behind this second operating system is Microsoft, and obviously it is not convenient for Google to have its own competition installed on the same smartphone.
On the other hand, the Finnish manufacturer Nokia showed us a few weeks ago that all the rumors about its involvement in Android were too optimistic compared to what the company finally decided to do. At first, many rumors claimed that Nokia would launch a mobile with Android as the only operating system. Finally we have been able to verify that the great surprise of this manufacturer was a smartphone called Nokia X that incorporates the Windows Phone operating system with the peculiarity that it allows you to run applications from the Google Play store.
And that is precisely what may happen with this new Huawei mobile. For now, no major manufacturer in the mobile telephony sector has dared to prepare for this year a terminal that incorporates the Android and Windows Phone operating systems as standard. At the moment we are only witnessing small movements that involve a contact that allows companies to know the reaction of users to the possibility of receiving mobile phones with these two operating systems. We will see if Huawei finally surprises us with a mobile that complies with the statements of the senior official who has given us this news.
