Recently, an executive of Huawei’s sub-brand Honor confirmed that the company is working on Smart TVs. Now, insiders aware of the development say that the first Smart TV from Huawei will come powered by the company’s own HongMeng OS.
As per the reports, Huawei will be launching its first Smart TV as early as August this year. The company is aiming its Smart TV product, which it likes to call “Smart Screens”, the hub for controlling all internet-connected devices at home.
The TV will also act as an entertainment as well as an information center for the families, claims Honor President George Zhao. While he took the stage recently to confirm the development of smart TVs, he didn’t reveal much about the features of the upcoming TV.
We’ve known about the HongMeng OS from Huawei from quite some time now. After the US government put Huawei in the “Entity List”, effectively banning US-based firms to do business with the Chinese giant, Huawei confirmed that it had been working on its own operating system and it’s ready to get launched.
As per the reports, the HongMeng OS is currently in the testing phase and is expected to get launched in the coming months. Recently, during an interview with French media, Huawei CEO confirmed that the HongMeng OS or Oak OS won’t be limited to smartphones and will run on a wide range of devices, including routers, network switches, tablets, computers and data centers.
Huawei is aiming to create a singular operating system for all of its products. The company’s CEO Ren Zhengfei also said that it’s very likely that HongMeng OS is faster than the Android and macOS. Earlier, it was reported that the upcoming operating system is about 60 percent faster than Android.
