Tech giant’s homegrown alternative to Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android is evidence sanctions have boosted company
China’s national technology champion Huawei is poised to launch its first flagship phone that can run its own apps on a fully homegrown operating system, in the latest sign of how technology is splintering into competing US and Chinese ecosystems. The Mate 70 smartphone set to be released on Tuesday will feature HarmonyOS Next, which Huawei hopes to establish as a third major mobile operating system alongside Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.
Programmers who spoke with the Financial Times said Huawei had been organising online and offline training camps and crash courses to help them navigate the new platform since last December. “We have teams to hold developers’ hands and bring them on,” said one Huawei sales staffer, who asked not to be named. “There is support on standby ready to help solve issues,” he said. The company has focused on getting China’s most commonly used apps ready for launch, he added.
