Everything we know about Huawei's operating system

What do we know so far about this operating system? Then we tell you all the details that are coming, which give us an idea of ​​what to expect from it. Although some aspects have not yet been confirmed by the company.

Name and launch

The name of this Huawei operating system is one of the first aspects about which there have been rumors. Initially, there have been several media that have reported that Kirin OS would be the name chosen by the company for this operating system. Although it is not the only name that has been given so far. Since another name that we are seeing a lot is HongMeng OS. For this reason, we do not know which one will finally be chosen by the company.

On its launch we have more details, confirmed by the Huawei CEO himself. Since this operating system is going to be ready this fall, as confirmed. This is the company's forecast, although the CEO himself commented that if it does not arrive on time, it would have to wait until spring 2020. But everything indicates that it will be official in the autumn.

What Huawei devices will it work on?

This is one of the aspects that will attract the most attention for the majority. Because the company leaves us with an operating system that will work on a large number of devices. According to some media have revealed, it would work with smartphones, tablets, laptops, televisions and with wearables. So it would be a kind of Fuchsia OS, but from Huawei.

This would suppose a better integration between the devices of the brand. Having all the same operating system makes it very easy to synchronize or exchange data between them. The company has not yet confirmed that it will work on all of these devices. But if so, it presents itself as a great opportunity.

Apps and app store

From the beginning, this week, it has been commented that this Huawei operating system will be compatible with Android applications. So users could download the same applications that are downloaded on their phones. Although it is to be expected that there are apps such as Facebook, Instagram or those of Google, which will not be able to be used in these phones of the Chinese brand.

On the other hand, Huawei will not be able to use Google Play on their phones, as an application store. What forces the company to look for alternatives in this regard. It is expected that AppGalery, which comes on your phones, will be used or increase its presence. But it is not the only alternative that the company manages in this regard.

Since they are currently negotiating with Aptoide. It is a well-known application store, which many Android users use as well. In it we find many apps and games, some that we also have on Google Play, but many that are not normally in the official store. Therefore, everything indicates that this store will be the one they use on their phones. At least this seems like it, but the negotiations are not yet finished.

Little by little we are having details about this operating system of the Chinese brand. Surely in these coming weeks there will be more details about it. So we will be attentive to what Huawei has prepared, to replace Android on their mobile phones.
