Following the US' trade restrictions, Huawei has been working on developing its own Hongmeng OS. It was previously reported as an alternative to Google's Android. Huawei's Senior Vice President Catherine Chen said that the Hongmeng OS is not designed for smartphones or to be an alternative to the Android system, Xinhua reported. Chen explained that the Hongmeng OS contains fewer lines of codes, which make it very secure. She further stressed that Huawei intends to continue using Android in its devices.
