Huawei confirms it has built its own operating system just in case US tensions disrupt use of Google’s Android

Huawei Technologies, the largest smartphone vendor in China, said it has developed its own operating systems for both smartphones and computers, which can be used on its devices in the event that current systems provided by US technology giants are no longer available.

“We have prepared our own operating system, if it turns out we can no longer use these systems [Android], we will be ready and have our plan B,” Yu said in the interview. Having an alternative OS has likely taken on added urgency though for Huawei amid escalating trade tensions between the US and China. Huawei, the world’s biggest telecommunications network equipment supplier, is also facing a string of charges from the US, including that the company stole trade secrets, violated economic sanctions and concealed its Iran business dealings via an unofficial subsidiary.
