Mobile carriers are applying the pressure on Huawei to start making smartphones compatible with Samsung’s operating system, Tizen. But the Chinese telecommunication giant is constantly declining it by claiming that “Tizen has no chance to be successful.” Richard Yu, head of Huawei’s consumer business group said that in the interview with The Wall Street Journal last weekend.
Yu also told The Journal that the company considers the option of moving away from Android operating system, but it doesn’t seem to be a real option, because Android is still the most popular OS for headsets, and brings the most profit.
“We have worries about Android being the only option, but we have no choice,” Yu told the Journal. “We have a good collaboration with Google.”
Samsung is promoting its operating system really hard, featuring it in nearly everything, from watches to TVs, but, so far, Tizen failed to succeed. In order to that, Samsung was forced to postpone the rollout of its Tizen-powered smarthpone, Samsung Z in Russia. It seems that Samsung doesn’t make the profit form its own operating system.
It is well known that Samsung is the largest Android smartphone manufacturer, and the company tried to make the alternative of Google’s OS, which holds more that 80% of smartphone market share, but it looks like it’s better for the company to stick with already established Android.
Eventually, Tinzen isn’t the only operating system that doesn’t satisfy Huawei’s needs. Yu also said that he believes that Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS has no future, and that all Huawei’s smartphones powered by Microsoft’s operating system are on hold. “Even for Windows Phone, it’s difficult to be successful,” Yu told the Journal.
