With the news that Huawei may lose access to Google’s Android platform, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is in need of a new operating system for its future handsets. On top of that, we might finally have a final name. While we’ve all heard the HongMeng OS name, Huawei’s new trademark sounds much better. Say hello to the new, ARK OS.
Per a report by Android Headline, It appears Huawei has trademarked a few names in Europe. In terms of the names that was filed, the listings cover ‘Huawei Ark OS,’ ‘Huawei Ark,’ ‘Ark,’ and ‘Ark OS,’ thus suggesting that Huawei’s Android and Windows alternative will be marketed as such. As usual, there’s no guarantee Huawei will ever use this name, but it’s certainly more appealing to global audiences than the ‘HongMeng OS’.
Now, to be fair, we’re not entirely sure whether this and HongMeng OS are the same thing. It’s fully possible Huawei’s come up with two different operating systems for different markets. Chinese markets could absolutely use HongMeng OS perfectly fine. Meanwhile, ARK OS would suit other markets like Europe infinitely better than that.
At the same time, what are the chances that it’s not the same OS? Huawei isn’t exactly in the right situation to be spending time making more operating systems. They should be rushing the OS as quickly as possible, while optimizing it as much as well. It seems like ARK / HongMeng OS will be coming very soon, so it won’t be long before everything’s revealed.
