Although last weekend Donald Trump announced that Huawei could continue doing business with North American companies and that Google would most likely allow Huawei to use Android and certify their phones, the Chinese company will not ignore the development of HongMeng OS. The statement comes directly from CEO and founder, Ren Zhengfei.
We’ve heard so much news about HongMeng OS, that it’s ludicrous how we’ve yet to see any clear leaks of it. In an interview from the French magazine Le Point, the 75-year-old executive said that the in-house operating system would work on network switches, routers, data centers, as well as smartphones. In that sense, it’s quite similar to Google’s Fuchsia OS.
Speed wise, Ren claims that the operating system Ren also said that the OS is possibly faster than Google’s Android OS. He also makes the same statement regarding MacOS, which makes sense considering HongMeng will also appear on laptops and computers. According to Ren, HongMeng OS has a processing delay of fewer than five milliseconds.
Of course, none of this is really anything too new. We’ve already heard that HongMeng OS is plenty fast, and we also already knew that it would be on many different types of devices. What we really want to know is when we’re going to see it. We expect some sort of announcement to be made at Huawei’s Developer Conference, but we’ll have to wait and see.
