Huawei pledges to continue with Android OS

There have been rumours of late that Huawei was set to develop its own mobile operating system, but the company has dismissed such talk.

Huawei's VP of International Media Affairs, Joe Kelly, responded to these reports to say that Huawei isn't planning to move away from Android OS. In a statement, Kelly said, "Google’s Android OS and ecosystem have greatly boosted the development of smart devices and benefited consumers. As long as Android remains open, Huawei will continue using the Android OS and ecosystem."

"Based on this, we will continue to optimize the performance and interfaces of the system, such as our EMUI, to better meet the demands of consumers across the globe," he added.

So, don't get too excited about the prospect of Huawei releasing a standalone OS.
