Xiaomi, Oppo, vivo and OnePlus are rumored to be exploring the idea of Android without Google

02 May 2025
Xiaomi is said to lay the groundwork for that with HyperOS 3. Huawei is allegedly also involved with the project - the company already has its own Google-free platform.

Sort by:

Every manufacurer should do this. I'm sick and tired of Google.

But, in the end, it won't and even if they do, it will face the same fate as Samsung Taizen OS and Windows Phone OS 🙄"

    Actually the main different from MiUI and HyperOS is about the android,.
    MiUI is AOSP with Xiaomi UI
    HyperOS is a whole new OS, not the AOSP.
    The android stuff is just on top of the HyperOS

                                But maybe, one day, a manufacturer (like Fairphone) could try to implement a better Linux open-source phone OS using something like Waydroid or Anbox to allow APKs installation, directly into their phone.

                                China made os, is not the solution, unless it's fully open-source.
