Huawei's 'HongMeng' operating system to gradually replace Android

  The headline is misleading. The article is simply speculating what Huawei might do.

    Yes, it's a speculation based upon this "leak/rumor/.." (I don't really know how to define the information) https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ithome.com%2F0%2F424%2F047.htm https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=... https://www.ithome.com/0/424/047.htm https://www.ithome.com/0/424/047.htm

  It's interesting to consider what options Huawei has with this. A genuinely novel system, maybe based on Linux like Tizen, seems doomed as there's no appetite among app developers to start supporting a new OS. If Microsoft can't do it, there's no way Huawei can. So really that leaves a custom build of AOSP, which in today's world would probably be accepted as counting as a new OS. Oh how low the bar has fallen.

    I certainly is interesting. Huawei's current market share is huge in Asia and Europe, but I'm not sure about customer loyalty. If the base is loyal this could probably work.
