We all love a good comeback story.
Underdog A, who has been beaten up so mercilessly everyone wrote him off for dead, comes back in a surprising move to emerge as the victor.
Love it.

But hereโs the thing: for something that has been chronicled so frequently in movies, something that has been dismissed by doubters because of its unrealistic proportionsโฆ
Itโs actually more than possible, and Huaweiโs operating system might just serve as the key indicator of a good comeback story.

Xiaomi, Oppo & Tencent Reportedly Also Trying Out Huawei New OS
By now, you would surely have heard of how Android cut ties with Huawei, and how Huawei sales seemed to suffer as a result.
But, just as everyoneโs writing off Huawei as another โcould have beenโ story, it seems that the Chinese smartphone companyโs not going down just yet.
Far from it, actually.
Having developed its own operating system to stand in for the gap left by Google Androidโs absence, Huaweiโs reportedly testing it out with internet giants and domestic smartphone vendors, in a move that could see two staggering results:
- The launch of the new system in the next few months
- Drive an actual wedge in Google Androidโs dominance of the market
โHuawei is reportedly intensively testing its proprietary operating system (OS) HongMeng with internet giants and domestic smartphone vendors, and the new system will be launched in the next few months,โ Global Times wrote.
And amongst these technology giants, it seems that Tencent, as well as smartphone makers Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo, are โactively working with Huawei to push forward the release of HongMeng OS, which is also considered as a major blow to the US-led crackdown.โ This is in accordance to an unnamed source reportedly โclose to a major Chinese carrierโ.

Now, I might be no genius when it comes to such tech-related stuff, butโฆ
The powerhouses of Chinaโs smartphone industry rallying behind this elusive operating system of Huaweiโs? That sounds pretty darn formidable.
Reported launch
According to reports, the new OS will launch on Huaweiโs anticipated Mate 30 launch in the fall, although the P40 has also been referenced as a possible alternative. Thus far, however, the actual launch date has remained a steady secret, perhaps attributed to the notion that there have been conflicting reports as to the actual market-readiness of the OS.
One claim that has been making its rounds, however, is that the new OS will be โ60% faster than Androidโ, a sentiment that echoes a claim previously made by the head of Huaweiโs smartphone business Richard Yu. And although there has yet to be substantial weight inserted to support the claim, one thingโs for sure:
If itโs true, the smartphone global industry we know todayโฆ

Might yet give way to a grand, new age.
But hey, enough of my pretentious English;
What do you think of this whole episode, and do you think that Huaweiโs new operating system will indeed be a force to be reckoned with?
