This is the assessment of Huawei CEO
Huawei, being weaned from Google services, began to survive on its own – using the proprietary AppGallery application catalog. Almost simultaneously, the company introduced its own HarmonyOS operating system, which is already used in a number of products. For example, smart TV. In general, Huawei is working hard on alternatives to the Play Market and AppStore on the one hand, and iOS and Android on the other. But when will the development of the Chinese company be able to directly compete with the most popular mobile operating systems and application catalogs? According to Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei, it is still very, very soon.
Head of Huawei: “It will take our OS no more than 300 years to catch up with Apple and Google
In an interview with Dragon Magazin, a senior manager said that “the sales of [devices on operating systems] Android and Apple are huge in the world, and Huawei is late. It is difficult for consumers [now] to accept other operating systems. Thus, the Huawei OS may take a long time to surpass Android and Apple, but no more than 300 years. ”
The ending of the saying looks optimistic: “no more” is already good. But 300 years, this is a very long time, during which the world will have time to change many, many times beyond recognition. For example, now people have no time for new smartphones based on proven OS, what can we say about an alternative to PlayMarket, which has about 55 thousand applications compared to 2.1 million applications in the Google directory. On the other hand, Huawei has enough resources to develop its ecosystem, and not to take stubbornness. So, with due desire and zeal, Huawei can really compete with Apple and Google, and even earlier. After some 150 years.
