The South China Morning Post reported on the 27th that relevant sources stated that after the US investigation of ZTE and Huawei in 2012, Huawei began to develop its own smartphone operating system and build its own tablet and personal computer operating system. The rumored project was founded by Huawei’s Ren Zhengfei. (Ren Zhengfei) ordered the start. He believes that this is a strategic investment and can be prepared for the “worst case.” The company has not released its own operating system because it does not perform as well as the support of third-party software. If Huawei is really on the trail of ZTE, there will be emergency plans available.
FinancialNet alleged that Ren Zhengfei’s speech in 2012 mentioned the matter. Ren Zhengfei said that for strategic reasons, it is necessary to develop its own operating system. If this is not done, if the company suddenly cannot use Android or Windows 8, it will embark on a path of desperation. He also said that he does not oppose the purchase of high-end chips from the United States and at the same time develops his own high-end chips. Huawei needs to use more American chips and do its best to understand that if the United States suspends the sale, it can only be replaced with its own chip. Bad, but still available.
Perhaps because of this, Huawei’s R&D expenditures are extremely high. Last year it reached 14.2 billion US dollars, accounting for 14.9% of revenue, which is second only to Amazon, and even higher than Google’s parent company, Alphabet. Huawei’s R&D team has its own Hassir Unicorn chip. , It does not need to rely on Qualcomm completely.
