First off, a Huawei OS might work out fine in China, but it will never fly in most of the world, especially the United States. Microsoft poured BILLIONS into making Windows Phones and made them compatible with Windows computers and they couldn't get good developers or good apps and they couldn't get any major companies to back them up. For example, I just upgraded the stereo in my car. It offers Apple Car Play and Android Auto. I obviously use Android Auto. Do you actually think a car stereo in America is going to also offer "Huawei OS"? NEVER! People in the US don't even know what Huawei is! Huawei came to the US in 2012 to setup BroadBand service equipment and it was proven that spying could occur on the equipment. Huawei had this "Apology Tour" and welcomed reporters from 60 Minutes to come to China to visit Huawei. There were welcome 60 minutes signs all over the place, but when the reporters got to the actual entrance of the building, they were turned away. Huawei WAS headquartered in America for BroadBand. I think they were headquartered in Houston, Texas but after the government refused to deal with them, Huawei packed up and left. I don't think anyone is saying their cell phones are spying. America said in 2012 that Huawei's BROADBAND internet equipment was spying. That is why America is not using Huawei for the 5G Network in the USA. Nobody even knows who Huawei is in America. I own a Huawei Mate 20 Lite and I've had it for 3 weeks and I can still return it. I'm not a heavy phone user but I have to say the budget phone is amazing. Good display and good cameras. Overall a much better phone than my One Plus 6 which was more than double the cost! But my Huawei phone was released in 2018 and it still has OREO on it while people in China have Pie. And now Q is coming out and I feel like I bought a phone that'll never be upgraded. I think it is worth $250 and love the phone, but the software is already outdated. Google isn't the only company that Huawei depends on for their phones. We make chips for them as well. All of Huawei's servers to run their services use Windows Server and Intel server processors which both come from the United States. Huawei sells laptops now with Microsoft Windows, which is an American company. My point is, Huawei could be getting screwed much worse than they currently are. Premium apps will NOT be for sale on Huawei's App Store and I imagine everyone outside of China will be upset if China ditches Android.
I have to give it to the United States. I want my new Huawei phone to give me updates but they haven't been even before the ban. And in the next 90 days I'm most certain I won't get any updates either. The United States has been getting a raw deal from China for decades. China sends us tons of crap and buys nothing from us in return. I didn't figure the United States would have an angle on China, but Huawei is a great angle in my opinion and I'm upset because I have a Huawei phone. But Huawei needs to come clean, sit at the table, and make a real deal with Google and the United States. Everyone talks about how big Huawei is.....How big would Huawei be without Android? If they dump Android, they will become a phone that is only sold in China.
