IT NEWS NIGERIA:
Huawei has announced earlier that it has “prepared our own operating system” as a Plan B in the event that Google pulls the plug to deny the mobile giant access to its operating system.
Richard Yu has said that Huawei has an in-house operating
system as an alternative to Android
In China, that might not be too disruptive a move, thanks to
the fact that device-owners spend much of their time within WeChat – a platform
that allows third-party apps to run within it.
Google moves would force companies to quickly release
versions of their stand-alone apps for the new operating system.
Report has it that several major US corporations, such as Qualcomm and
Intel, have reportedly joined Google in implementing President Donald Trump’s
executive order that declared Chinese tech giant Huawei a national security
risk.
Following in the footsteps of Google, a number of top American chipmakers – including Intel, Qualcomm, Xilinx, and Broadcom – halted their business transactions with Huawei, according to Bloomberg, citing insiders. The companies are said to have told their employees that no new shipments will be made “until further notice.”
According to RT, Google has confirmed it was also “complying with the order and reviewing the implications” of the ban introduced by Trump under the pretext of national security. While Google has yet to make an official announcement, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is likely to lose access to Android operating system updates, while its forthcoming smartphones will be shut out of most Google apps and services.
