Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s terminal business, said that it can be 100% exclusively produced in China and does not require American components. He also pointed out that Huawei’s Hongmeng system was on par with Android and iOS. However, this Hongmeng system, which he is proud of, is suspected by Chinese netizens that it is not made in China, but a shell version of Android. Some netizens tried to change the language of their mobile phone to English, but later found that the phone displayed “Android system”.
A netizen uploaded a video to a Chinese video sharing website titled “I found concrete proof that Hongmeng mobile phone is not an Android shell.” The video shows him switching the phone’s language from Chinese to English. On the mobile phone, the Chinese version shows the location of “Harmony OS”, while the English version shows “Android System”.
Many Chinese netizens believe that this is strong evidence that Huawei’s Hongmeng system has been replaced with an Android system. Even some netizens have expressed disappointment, thinking that Huawei has deceived the Chinese.
But in fact, Huawei has always said that the company’s Hongmeng system has two versions. The Hongmeng OS on Huawei phones and tablets is a modified version of Android. The “True Hongmeng System” developed by Huawei is applied to TVs, speakers and other IoT devices.
