Much is being said about the possible operating system that we will find in the future terminals that Huawei launches on the market. Most of them suggest that it could be Ark OS, an operating system derived from Android and that has already been registered in various countries. According to various sources, this OS could be faster than Android, something that logically it depends on several factors.
From SlashGear, they point out that Ark OS It would be based on the SailFish OS, an operating system whose origins date back to 2011, when Intel and Nokia reached an agreement to create an open source operating system called MeeGo, an operating system that passed through the market without pain or glory and that ended up being called SailFish OS.
SailFish OS, is compatible with Android and allows to run any application created for this ecosystem without any kind of problem. To date, SailFish has become the operating system of the devices of some governments such as Russia, China and some Latin American countries. But before that, it came to market in Jolla terminals, with very little success.
The problem that Huawei faces, regardless of which fork or version of Android it implements in its future terminals is that of applications. A smarpthone a WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram or TwitterIt is not very useful, beyond the camera, as long as you can add more functions.
Currently, Huawei has a long way to go if it wants to achieve full independence from Google, something that at the moment it cannot do, not only because of the available applications, but also because of the libraries used by the majority of applications available on Android, libraries that are not in the OASP version of Android, which will force developers to modify their applications if they want to be on their terminals.
Also, if you opt for the SailFish OS option, it might in the end be like shoot yourself in the footSince this operating system is widely used by the Russian government, a country known, like China, for its strict censorship and control over its citizens.
