I like when consummers are so happy to not have choice. If they could stop whinning for being treated like the cashcow they are, it would be perfect.

    Typical china, new day, new story :D

      They did trademark Ark OS & Harmony OS. I think they're still secretly developing the mobile OS on backend. They just made this announcement to calm down fans who were waiting for an early release.

      After what happened to them, they would be stupid to not make backup plans for future.

        Anonymous, 19 Jul 2019You are very smart, the OS was just a bluff, they even got ... moreFanboys is true denial.

        America did the better game they made Huawei lose 40 million sales in devices.

        Also they got a very good trade deal because they used Huawei as a bargaining chip so China will buy algiculutral stock from America.

        America won and played the game better.

        Keep trying to spin it though even though all you fanboys got lied to

They are just telling us it's not for smartphone after the ban has been lifted, you have to give it to Huawei, two can play the game too.

                Another Chinese Bluff bites the dust. No wonder it comes from one of the typical offenders - Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo.

                All these days Chinese propaganda was running really high with a new OS ready to kill Android in the first strike. It was the fastest EVER, paid trolls were deployed across the web to praise such a move and Huawei, badmouthing of US and Google was peaking and what all this ended up into? NOTHING!

                It was all a GAS BALLOON just like the Chinese economy sitting on debt that is 303% of GDP and accounts to 15% of the Global.

                No wonder China when threatened by Trump, crawled.

                    I'm trying so hard to not laugh at all those Android haters saying HongMengOS were the Android killer.

                    Hell, why not!

                    Ha-ha-ha!!! Lmfao!!!

                      America was attacking them and they couldnt lose face and they lied that they could be using their own OS by the end of this year when its just about working on their TV's let alone mobile phones where it will need millions more lines of codes.

                      Faster than IOS and Android duh its nowhere as advanced :D

                      All you guys got lied to and now ya can make up excuses

                      Fanboys at their finest LOL

                          Shui8, 19 Jul 2019Then whats the news with the 60% faster than android using ... moreObviously its faster theres less code and its going to be used on their TV's which isnt as advanced or complicated as smartphone operating systems.

                          Huawei was just bluffing it was far from ready for their phones.

                          America lies, China lies nothing new here.

                                    karoko, 19 Jul 2019true! they even boast how HongMeng OS is faster than Androi... moreIt can't be lies but deception for the US. Huawei's 5G was what frightened Trump and it's already working while others are still developing. Are you telling that their "2021 free from Android" is not possible?

                                      cruizer, 19 Jul 2019hah, so all the claims about Hongmeng being an alternative ... moreWe can't tell the truth not unless the ban will continue. They can be dousing the fire now to return to "business as usual" with Google while developing their alternative OS quietly. This pronouncement contradicts their earlier press release of "2021 free from Android".
