Huawei planned to develop its own operating system(操作系统). Huawei planned to use it as early as autumn in 2019 or spring in 2020 at the latest.
"But that is our plan B," said Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business group. "We would prefer to work together with the system provided by Google and Microsoft."
The decision was made after the US government planned to ban(禁止) the sale of American technology to the company. Google decided to cut off some of Huawei's products from its Android operating system. As a result, users of some Huawei products can't install(安装) their favorite apps from the Google Play Store.
Huawei has had the plan to develop its own operating system since 2012. The company said that its own operating system would be used if they could no longer use systems like Android.
Its self-developed operating system is named "HongMeng". According to Yu, the new operating system will be able to support a lot of produces, including smartphones, computers, tables, TVs, automobiles and some other products.
According to IT experts, building an operating system is very difficult. But Huawei knows that as a big technology company, it have to have its own technology. And the company is fully prepared for the challenge.
