"With the recent announcement from Google and Microsoft to comply with the US sanction on Huawei, the Chinese smartphone company is forced to launch its own operating system for smartphone and PCs. Huawei had earlier indicated that it has been working on creating is own OS for smartphone and PCs as a last resort for such a situation. The company’s latest flagship due to launch this autumn will sport this. The new OS might work in China where popular apps like Facebook, Instagram, and others, are replaced by locally customized apps like Weibo and Renren. Huawei also hosts its own app store in China, but for markets outside, it becomes impossible for Huawei to provide competitive services due to the lack of developer support. If the US ban goes on for long, Huawei will lose its dominance in the smartphone market, and it will become difficult for the brand to retain the same growth rate in the future." – Shobhit Srivastava
