Huawei platform apparently titled Oak OS and coming August or September

Huawei may launch its own operating system in August or September this year, according to English-language Chinese newspaper Global Times (via IndiaShopps). Global Times suggested this in a tweet earlier today following speculation regarding Huawei’s Android alternative in the wake of recent U.S. sanctions.

Global Times said this operating system would be called “HongMeng OS” in China, but would go under the name “Oak OS” in other markets, according to its sources. Huawei is also said to be “intensively testing” the system.

#Huawei is intensively testing its own operating system, to be named “HongMeng OS” for China market or “Oak OS” for overseas market, which is likely to be launched in August or September, sources say. https://t.co/hqA7JJdjjS

We have known for a while Huawei is developing a mobile operating system. This is said to have been created as a failsafe should Huawei ever lose access to Android; it would potentially be installed on upcoming phones in place of Google’s operating system.

This story is breaking and will be updated again shortly.
