Huawei also recommended to make OS open source
Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities, who has until now offered reliable scoops on the mobile market, says Huawei’s shipments this year could drop no less than 180 million units from 270 million units if the company doesn’t launch its operating system in 2019.
Furthermore, there’s the risk of this operating system not being able to replace Android, in which case the drop is very likely as well.
If Huawei does manage to make the OS a worthy replacement to Android and bring it to the market by July, shipments could drop only to 240 million or 250 million units.
On the other hand, both Samsung and Apple are likely to win big following Huawei’s struggle.
