In brief: Huawei to launch OS to replace Android after US blacklist

  • China’s Huawei is in the process of potentially launching its “Hongmeng” OS to replace Android OS, Reuters reports.
  • Data from a UN body showed that Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. is aiming to trademark the OS in at least nine countries and Europe, indicating the company may be deploying a backup plan in key markets as US sanctions threaten its business model.
  • The company, also the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones, has not yet revealed details about its OS. The trademark applications show that Huawei wants to use Hongmeng for gadgets ranging from smartphones and portable computers to robots and car televisions.
