Huawei’s upcoming smartphone ‘P40’ to run its own HarmonyOS operating system instead of Google’s Android, said Richard Yu, the head of Huawei’s consumer business.
Yu, said during a media interview that if the situation does not change with the United States government, the company will start using its HarmonyOS, news portal Gizchina reported on Monday.
In addition, Mr Yu also revealed that Huawei has been considering selling its Kirin processors to other companies in industries such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics.
The Chinese smartphone maker recently launched its latest Kirin 990 (5G) flagship chipset with an integrated 5G modem at the IFA 2019. Kirin 990 (5G) is the first full-frequency 5G SoC to support both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) architectures as well as TDD/FDD full frequency bands, enabling it to accommodate hardware requirements under diverse networks and networking modes.
