ARM cuts ties with Huawei, threatening future chip designs

Breaking: Huawei is testing Hongmeng OS and its compatibility with Android Apps

Huawei’s recent activity in has cleared our doubts that the company has fastened its pace to make bring Hongmeng OS in the commercial market ASAP, and an internal source has now given us more sneak peek on Huawei’s upcoming OS.



In a smartphone supply chain report, Rosenblatt Securities mentioned that Huawei will release its operating system Hongmeng/Hong Meng in the fourth quarter as a replacement of Android.

Also, the company has allegedly shipped 1 million smartphones with the software onboard for testing, and with the compatibility to run all Android applications, reported .

This report confirms that was 100% correct and reveals that Huawei wants to make sure that everything works well when it comes out.

Moreover, the report did not reveal further information, however, it signals far from its very obvious that Huawei Hongmeng has entered in the trial stage and once the test is completed, the OS will make its way to the general consumers.



Hongmeng OS will come with increased security functions

Earlier today we saw that in its smartphones along with application compatibility, and it’s being also said that the company is also making it secure in terms of data privacy.

Rosenblatt Securities revealed in a smartphone supply chain that Huawei has allegedly shipped 1 million smartphones with the software onboard for testing, with the software also said to be compatible with all Android applications and has “increased security functions to protect personal data.”

This information suggests that the company is trying to check every benchmark to make sure the operating system becomes better than its competitors.

Back in March, Huawei Consumer Business CEO, Yu Chengdong, told the company has developed its operating system in case it’s prohibited from using Android or Windows by the US.

Later on, Huawei was banned in the US, followed by this even, the CEO confirmed to CNBC that its operating system could be ready for the domestic market in the fourth quarter of this year and a version for the global market in the first or the second quarter of 2020.

I disagree with the idea that giving the Chinese semiconductor industry tax free status for 5 years will increase their development speed or increase resilience.
What it will encourage is resource extraction from these companies. Profits and money will be extracted from the companies. It will discourage investment.
Much like Trump's corporate tax cut led to a major increase in US corporate stock buybacks, layoffs, and the shut down of factories, anything to extract profit while they can.

The money will then be helicoptered elsewhere, maybe even outside the country.

It would have been much better if the Chinese government simply either provided matching funds for R&D expenditures, or granted low interest rate loans to facilitate expansion I think.

If you are looking for Chinese chip tech that have begun to replace its foreign counterparts ---- and one that does it so well --- you can begin with the fingerprint scanners of Shenzhen Goodix. Let me correct that --- Goodix now owns the market for in display optical fingerprint scanners, with only Samsung being the holdover.

Quotes from the article.

Been doing this test over and over every day and pretty sure the OnePlus 6T’s fingerprint optical in-display fingerprint sensor is faster than the Galaxy S10+’s ultrasonic one #galaxys10 pic.twitter.com/fadEDJr61q

I watched Taiwanese news on Youtube that Huawei made a micro movie using its handset. in the movie there is a date clearly indicate Sep 22. That date might implies the released date of the new Hongmeng OS.

There are many versions of the report by different TV. Here's one of them

While Huawei cringes in pain, it appears to be the rise and rise of OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi.

Yesterday, bloggers and vloggers are sent head spinning on what Oppo and Xiaomi revealed, literally eclipsing what Apple announced at WWDC 2019.


What sorcery is this? First an in display optical fingerprint scanner that is sweeping the smartphone world and now this?

Over the years, we have been seeing less and less smartphone innovation from Apple and Samsung --- they only need to make their next generation phones better than the other, and that is stifling innovation.

Then Huawei started a new front in innovation with their multi-camera designs. Then came the race from the notch to the notchless, edge to screen revolution with Chinese smartphone designs, figuring out ways to contain and package the selfie camera. Now this. The way Oppo and Xiaomi are demonstrating the technology, it may not be far from reaching the market; it can be very near, or imminent in release.

but all the core component for oppo/xiaomi are still using US tech, so if trump want to ban it for whatever reason, its bankrupt for those company, they rely even more on US tech compare to Huawei.

If at this point, any Chinese tech company isn't 100% invested on domesticating its supply chain but rather wishes to continue operating on American components, it deserves to be dead and I say that without an ounce of reserve from the affection that I would normally hold for Chinese companies.

If it doesn't die from an American ban, it should die from a Chinese boycott.

I don't mean they should all leave US components cold turkey now as most of them likely couldn't but they should be investing as much as possible to move away as quickly as possible.

I think this is what uncle Sam wants. Like the case of ZTE, they want Chinese companies to rely on US component and tech, so that they can control those companies. One of the reasons they choose to crack on Huawei is because the company is more and more independent from US component and tech. If uncle Sam doesn't smash it now, one day when it is 100% made in China, uncle Sam can no longer control it.
