The question we will deal with in between raises some doubts poco, because a company like Huawei could also afford not to use Android anymore. Currently, in fact, HongMeng OS would be based on the open source system of the green robot. Not being able to make more use of Google services it is a problem but the software base is always available to developers, thus limiting the initial work to a mere interface personalization. Obviously, then, the need arises to make its users migrate to new applications and this is one of the most important critical issues.

However, Huawei seems to have another alternative in mind. According to sources close to the company, and leaked through the Russian newspaper The Bell, the Chinese giant is considering the possibility of exploiting the potential offered by Aurora OS. Have you ever heard of this operating system? Do not despair, because it is a solution poco common, especially in the smartphone world where there is practically a duopoly.

Huawei allies with Russia?

Aurora OS, however, is a Russian development mobile operating system based on the open source distribution of Sailfish OS Linux, developed by the Finnish company Jolla. As said, iOS and Android are masters of the mobile market, but Aurora OS focuses on privacy and security, gaining the trust of many users around the world.

Breaking completely from Android could be risky, but Huawei is considering the possibility of being banned completely from the market, not being able to use more than any US product, both hardware and software.

Surely the situation will have other turning points and we will not fail to inform you in due course about developments.
