According to The Information, via XDA, Huawei's OS is called "Project Z" but it's "far from ready": https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-android-alternative-fall-2019/amp/ https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-android-alternative-fa... > The Information‘s report differs greatly from what was reported earlier. Rather than being ready this Fall or early next year, they claim the OS is “far from ready.” It is reportedly being referred to as “Project Z” internally. The report also claims this OS would rely on 3rd-party developers to create apps for it, which may shoot down the idea of Android apps being able to run on the OS. > According to the report, Huawei has been working on Project Z for several years, but its original intention was to be for their home Chinese market, and not a full Android replacement. If all of this is true, Huawei’s post-Android future may not be as positive as they’d like people to think.

Curiously, according to XDA's original Chinese source Huawei's CEO said the new operating system has a microkernel ("微内核") and that it's designed to support a wide range of devices using a single OS, including "mobile phones, computers, tablets, TVs, cars and smart wearable device": https://weibointl.api.weibo.cn/share/72019470.html?weibo_id=4374500504258689 https://weibointl.api.weibo.cn/share/72019470.html?weibo_id=... If that sounds familiar, you might recall Google Fuchsia with the Zircon microkernel: https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2019/5/9/18563521/google-fuchsia-os-android-chrome-hiroshi-lockheimer-secrets-revealed https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2019/5/9/18563521/goog... > Fuchsia is designed to run on smart home devices, wearables, or possibly even augmented or virtual reality devices. Notably, Huawei has already tested Fuchsia on its devices before: https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-testing-fuchsia-os-kirin-970-honor-play/amp/ https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-testing-fuchsia-os-kir... > A new commit in the Fuchsia source code has revealed that Huawei has managed to boot the Zircon kernel on the Honor Play...
