I think Huawei will suffer in short term but after few months, we can expect another OS from Huawei with great developer benefits and it’ll eventually hurt US monopoly in mobile software industry. One plus was already going in that direction and now we can expect to see more China based default apps on these Chinese devices.
Remember windows phone ? App stores are useless without developers
Yes I agree. That’s the biggest hurdle but you think developers will not be interested in developing for second largest smart phone seller. It’ll definitely hurt them in short term but they’ll prolly win in long run and US monopoly will be reduced. Outside US, no one buys iPhone or expensive US brands. They’ll reposition themselves in few months
"outside US, no one buys iPhones". You clearly never been outside the US
I'm guessing a fork like Fire OS or Miui. It's actually not that hard to de-Google Android.
I agree. I think developers will jump onto it if they offer better return for developers and harden it over time. I think it’s rough for Huawei but will prolly it’ll make them or other vendors to be less dependent on US tech
I'd say it's very hard, and definitely do able, but not by a hardware company or small staffed software company.
Just install LineageOS with TWRP recovery from factory. That's the best config already. If user wants GApps they can download from internet.
Not only Android that is taken away ARM is also cutting ties with Huawei: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/arm-huawei-chips-ban-us,39404.html
Chinese market and Huawei markets outside China are large enough for them to develop their own OS. Question would be if Chinese mobile OS would be banned as well but that would result in counterban if Android and iOS. Things getting interesting.
For every dependency they have on the West, China has plans to develop its own solutions. This will simply push them to move faster. With 1.4 billion consumers and an authoritarian government China can create its own standards... and maybe even get most of the world to adopt them.
One Belt - One Road then One OS is China's new goal.
Huawei can’t provide SD now: https://www.engadget.com/2019/05/24/huawei-sd-association-ban/
Don’t think Huawei can create an international ecosystem that quickly.
But they’ll now make a push in that direction. They’ve infinite resources and as I said they’ll suffer in short term but they’ll be stronger in long term. Companies like Huawei are virtually unstoppable. If US thinks that, they’re just idiots supporting trump-pet
Then go work for them if you love them so much.
