Does anyone know if Huawei's new operating system is based on Android or Unix?

Question

Anyone with insider knowledge? 😉

Answer 1

Huawei EMUI is a custom mobile operating system that is based on Android that Huawei uses on most Huawei and Honor-branded smartphone devices.
Also, Android is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open source software, and is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Answer 2

Calviղ the Blackberry 10 OS is based on QNX, a UNIX based OS.

Answer 3

It's Android.
I've never seen any phones in this world run on Unix.

Answer 4

Nup. Latest I heard is the US backed down on the ban on US firms selling tech to Huawei. So my guess is Android, but who knows. They might roll their own as a contingency plan as tensions are still high at present and maybe for the foreseeable future.

Answer 5

There are several Linux phone O/S's

Answer 6

Sonic oh that's interesting, need to study QNX...

Answer 9

It think that till now there is not a new OS for Huawei EUA give them 3 months to get out his stuffs

Answer 10

I think that is on unix

Answer 11

Huawei says it is a brand new microkernel operating system.

QNX is also a microkernel operating system.

Several respondents here have incorrectly asserted that QNX is a version of UNIX. UNIX, Linux, and so also android and chromeos use a more traditional monolithic kernel - not a microkernel

QNX is POSIX compliant - not the same thing as derived from UNIX
