Huawei Group has repeatedly publicly expressed its intention to replace the Android system with a system it is developing, but asserts that it was forced to do so because of US sanctions.
'Harmony OS' is intended to run on computers, tablets and other devices. Huawei may lose access to Android because the company was blacklisted by US President Donald Trump, citing security concerns.
Noteworthy, Huawei, the world's second smartphone group, found itself in May amid a trade war between Beijing and Washington over technological competition.
The company would have been able to ship 300 million smartphones this year without such restrictions. It shipped 118 million units in the first-half.
