Google Needs Huawe

Google Needs Huawe

Huawei, oh Huawei. The unloved step-child of the phone industry is back in the news after reports surfaced that Huawei is completely banned from being sold in the United States.  For a moment, you could hear sighs of relief from Apple and Samsung, as their competition was being silenced in their main customer demographic country.  However, Google has a few choice words with the government when it comes to banning Huawei.

Wait – so how does Google fit into all this?

1.   Huawei and ARK OS

See, Huawei wasn’t just banned from being sold in the country.  The U.S government took it a step further and decreed that Huawei phones will stop receiving Android updates.  In the U.S’ defense, they gave Huawei a 90-day adjustment period, so Huawei devices are still receiving updates for the moment. Other than that, yea, Huawei is getting screwed by the United States.

But Huawei has been prepared for this.  When the ban was declared by President Donald Trump last month, Huawei responded that they have been creating and adjusting their own OS for their devices, simply known as ARK OS.  Is this a completely separate OS or a modified Android? Who knows, but Google doesn’t like the sound of it either way.
