News & Reviews:   HongMeng Malaysia

The 9th of August is a pretty important day for Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Huawei. The company will be launching its largest global developers conference in China. What seems to be the main highlight of the event would the company’s OS, HongMeng. Many are speculating that the OS may be launched then. 

Huawei’s in a tight spot right now as many vendors and businesses severe ties with the Chinese manufacturer. It seems like Huawei had anticipated this move for awhile and has been working on their very own OS. Reports have surfaced that the OS may be named “Ark OS” instead of the initially thought HongMeng.

Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business group was recently reported to have mentioned that Huawei's homegrown Plan B operating system will be coming to phones, computers, TVs, cars and wearables by Fall 2019. He went on to say that it is based on Android or is similar to Android, so we assume that it still works with the latest Android apps. No exact Malaysia release dates on when, but if we consider Fall to begin in July then it still falls within the earlier 3-month temporary license period we reported on earlier.
