Huawei Says Hongmeng OS Isn't Designed as an Android Replacement

'Huawei reportedly wants to keep using Google's Android operating
system in its phones instead of jumping to its self-developed Hongmeng
system. From a report:

Company senior vice president Catherine Chen told reporters in
Brussels this week that the Hongmeng OS isn't even designed for
phones, according to Chinese state news agency Xinhua. Chen apparently
said Hongmeng is for industrial use, noting that it contains far fewer
lines of code than a phone OS, and has much lower latency than a
phone, meaning it can process a very high volume of data messages with
little delay.

Latest episode in a confusing narrative about what Huawei even intends
to do. The company's executives have previously said on record that
its homegrown operating system is designed to replace Android on its
handsets. One executive said the operating system would be released by
last month -- a target that Huawei has missed.'
