Huawei Tests Smartphone With Own OS, Could Potentially Start Selling Them Later This Year

'Huawei is testing a smartphone equipped with Hongmeng, the company's
self-developed operating system, which could potentially go on sale by
the end of this year, Chinese state-media outlet Global Times
reported. From a report: The release of a Hongmeng-powered smartphone
would mark a major step for China's Huawei, the world's second-biggest
maker of smartphones, as U.S. government actions threaten its access
to Google's Android operating system. The device will be priced at
around 2,000 yuan ($288), the Global Times said on Sunday, citing
unnamed sources. That will place the device toward the low-end segment
of the smartphone market. Huawei executives have previously described
Hongmeng as an operating system designed for internet-of-things
products. Last month the company said the first major devices powered
by Hongmeng would be its upcoming line of Honor-brand smart TVs.'
