Why Huawei's Android backup would flop Huawei has built its own proprietary smartphone operating system that can be used as a backup in case it's barred from using Android, Huawei's mobile chief Richard Yu Chengdong confirmed in an interview.
Huawei's smartphones currently run on Google's Android operating system, but the company began developing an Android replacement as a contingency plan should it face a similar ban to the one imposed on Chinese smartphone maker ZTE in April 2018, which prevented US companies from selling components to ZTE for seven years.
Huawei's confirmation comes amid growing political tensions between the US and China, along with the company's legal problems in the US.
If Huawei's forced to use its Android replacement, it'll be fighting a losing battle against the Android operating system in the global smartphone market.
