According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, due to Google's suspension of Android system certification and update maintenance, local smartphone brand BQ said to switch to Huawei's Hongmeng system. The media interviewed Huawei on this matter and got the opposite answer, and there was no plan to launch a Hongmeng system mobile phone overseas for the time being, which was a serious contradiction with the previous executive statement.
Securities Times reported that Huawei responded: As of the end of 2021, there are 220 million Huawei (equipment) equipped with Hongmeng system, I am very grateful for everyone's attention and support for Hongmeng, but there is no plan to launch a mobile phone equipped with Hongmeng overseas.
Huawei said that it has no plans to launch mobile phones equipped with Hongmeng system overseas for the time being, which is diametrically opposed to the statements of previous executives, last year, Derek Yu, president of Huawei's consumer business in Central and Eastern Europe, Northern Europe and Canada, publicly told the media: It is expected that the Hongmeng operating system will be promoted globally next year, and more than 100 million users have been upgraded (at that time, Huawei announced data of 150 million). Hongmeng system can be directly upgraded from EMUI, users do not need other operations and will not lose data, after upgrading compared to Android has a 10% performance improvement.
After more than three months, Huawei's official two statements are diametrically opposed, the latest statement is that it will not launch Hongmeng system mobile phones overseas, and may continue to build EMUI systems based on Android in the future. Therefore, there is speculation that there is a misunderstanding in the Russian satellite news agency that BQ is not carrying the Hongmeng operating system, but a system based on the OpenAtom OpenHarmony source code project, which is indeed inseparable from Huawei.
It is understood that Huawei donated code related to the basic capabilities of the intelligent terminal operating system to the Open Atom Open Source Foundation in September 2020, named the OpenAtom OpenHarmony Source Code Project. All enterprises and institutions can do operating system distributions and terminal products in various fields based on this code and combined with their own advantages, and Huawei will not interfere with this, nor does it have the ability to interfere, because the moment the source code is donated is no longer exclusive to Huawei.
On January 24 this year, The open source Hongmeng officially announced that the OpenAtom OpenHarmony project completed the election of the first technical steering committee member, and Chen Haibo, chief scientist in Huawei's software field, was elected as the chairman of the committee. Li Yingwei, chief technical expert of Huawei's terminal BG software product architecture, and Jia Ning, deputy director and chief architect of Huawei's OS kernel laboratory, held important positions in the committee.
Theoretically, as long as the Russian mobile phone brand BQ is willing to join the OpenAtom OpenHarmony project and is approved, it can develop a system based on this source code and achieve the same origin as the Hongmeng system. If this speculation is true, Russia's satellite news agency may be wrong in its interpretation, and Huawei will respond to the media due to misunderstandings caused by translation or cross-domain issues.
