Huawei to launch a smartphone with HongMeng OS by the end of 2019

05 August 2019
The phone will cost CNY2,000 ($285/€255) and will be a playground for future developers, wanting to join the ecosystem.

And yes, Android sucks even on Huawei phones although EMUI is unbelievably snappy. Faster than near stock Xperia UI, for example. (But maybe it feels so because of Kirin 980 vs SD 845. Had Xperia XZ3 before i bought P30Pro. Camera is most important part on smartphone for me.) Waiting for HongMeng.

    HappyAndroidUser07, 05 Aug 2019I wonder how I have A50 and I dont have any of this issues,... moreMaybe because truth is born in comparison? Almost everyone who come from some other UI, say that Samsung (especially midrange) phones lag on UI level. And other specs... i have a flagship, sorry.

      -"Shitty SOC" / It almost matched the speed of my Note9 the only downside is on the GPU.
      -"shitty audio through earphones" / You had defective earphones since mines sound good using the headphone jack.
      -"unbelievably shitty camera" / The cameras are not that good compared to the competition, but they aren't shitty by no means possible.
      -"Laggy One UI" / People who still call Samsung's Android skin laggy never used one since the Galaxy S4 times. Try even the A10 and you will see they are not laggy as they used to.
      -"Android. Samsung." / Huawei uses android too, so they are shitty too?

          GAMIRSFM, 05 Aug 2019Can you detail them?Lets see.
          Shitty SoC, shitty audio through earphones, unbelievably shitty camera. Laggy One UI. Android. Samsung.

            First Huawei’s VP says that this OS is not for phones and only for their telecom equipment and now this report?...do they even know themselves whether the OS is targeted for phones or not?

                    Possibly another lie...

                      wasox, 05 Aug 2019Well, huawei can tell ANYTHING, about privacy improvements ... more*while looking at my assorted collection of NSA/CIA/etc certified devices....

                      Is privacy a kind of instrument?

                          A $250 phone is of no interest to me or many who already have "mid to high end" phones

                              prepare to be hack by ccp, see what happen in china, zombie ppl all around

                                kinda interested in this. after so many years of only android and iOS, a new OS could be interesting (even with all the security concernes related to huawei). lets just hope it doesnt go the windows phone way..

                                  Where's that Huawei fanboy who linked forbes saying that no one ever said it was faster than IOS and that they werent going to release it at all and it was a bluff so they could carry on using Android?

                                  Well you lord savior Huawei needs to make up their mind they dont know if they coming or going at this rate :/

                                  Fanboys defending Huawei when even Huawei are always contradicting themselves :D

                                        Well, huawei can tell ANYTHING, about privacy improvements included, but the fact is, huawei=chinese goverment, so, privacy in my opinion is not a good thing for them
