Huawei's home-grown operating system - code-named HongMeng - that's set to replace Android once the Huawei ban from Google comes into full effect, will be commercially rolled out next month, a Middle East head for the firm revealed exclusively to TechRadar Middle East.
The OS, which could be called Ark OS when launched, is expected to be compatible with mobile phones, computers, tablets, TVs, connected cars, smartwatch, smart wearables and others.
All applications that work with Android are expected to work with this new OS without any need for further customization, Elshimy claims, adding that users will be able to download apps from the Huawei AppGallery.
apps requiring google play services might not work. though i assume that popular ones would already have alternative systems to work on such devices as i assume google play services are not widely available in china?
most of the phones sold in china do not have play services already. so they already have alternative solutions. the only problem would be to cater to international markets like india and usa. so they should still do well because of the size of chinese market. would be tough to survive here in india with no google apps, backend, support. as for apps, they already have an app store that comes bundled on their android devices.
