There are still some doubts about Huawei's upcoming smartphone operating system. Although The Chinese tech giant is banned from interacting with AndroidSome reports suggest that its expected OS could be based on Google's, which remains to be seen.
Another development suggests that the firm could take Sailfish OS to start from the base of this not very popular mobile operating system and thus launch what would be called Ark OS or HongMeng OS. We talk about this below.
To evade the most dangerous arrow that the United States has thrown at Huawei, which has the repercussion of the company's disengagement with Android, it is accelerating the final stage of the development of its operating system for smartphones, because in approximately two months it will be over the truce that the US has given you so that you can continue to operate relatively normally for 90 days.

A Russian version of Sailfish OS seems to be an alternative to take into account for Huawei to put it as the base OS. This is a software of Finnish origin designed by the Jolla company for smartphones. Its main feature is that it is open source and is written in C ++ language, based on Linux, so its customization and modification is open to developers.
Sailfish OS is popularized, more than anything, for offering strong privacy and security to the user. However, while it has a community of followers, it is small. What's more, the OS is barely present in some commercial devices and does not rival in anything, not even a little, with Android and iOS, the two mobile operating systems that have no competition in the segment and seem unbeatable. So we will see how Huawei adapts it, because it will take a lot of hand to put it to compete against these two without failing completely from its initial moment.
