Huawei Says It’s Not Actually Working on an Android Replacement

[silversurfer]

Huawei chairman Liang Hua said at a press conference last week that the company is yet to make a decision on whether an Android alternative should be developed or not, suggesting that HongMeng, despite being an IoT project, can easily be promoted to a fully-featured mobile OS.
 
“The Hongmeng OS is primarily developed for IoT devices that will reduce latency… In terms of smartphones, we are still using the Android operating system and ecosystem as a ‘first choice.’ We haven’t decided yet if the Hongmeng OS can be developed as a smartphone operating system in the future,” he said as per the cited source.
