With the exception of those who have resided on Mars over the past two months, the situation that sees China, the US (especially Trump) and Huawei engaged in a trade war has also influenced consumers who generally do not follow technological problems. With the likelihood of Google closing the gates of (portion of) Android, there was more than enough media prominence.
Huawei, however, does not want to miss out on the second place among smartphone producers worldwide and is already running a huge counter-offensive. The Chinese firm in specific plans to launch its OS, known as Oak OS (global version) and HongMeng OS (Chinese market version).
The operating system experiments that will (maybe) replace Android could contribute to its debut as early as August or September 2019, pending the release of Mate 30 in the different variants. Huawei will still be able to continue to use the Android Open Source Project, but will no longer be able to work with Google on future phones, will not be able to incorporate the "Big G" services and even the US giant's official security patches.
Another hypothesis continues to be considered: by the end of the three-month extension (which will expire in August 2019) to use Android under a permit, Google could reach an agreement between the United States and China (and subsequently with Huawei) that could rearrange the scenario and restore it as before.
Even the second smartphone maker in the world wouldn't want Google to stop using Android under its license. The Mountain View giant has leveraged the potential safety consequences that an operating system created directly by Huawei could bring, but in terms of income and joint research and development it would also obviously be a issue. It is still very hard at this moment to predict how the tale will end and much will be achieved by the two countries concerned diplomats and political delegations.
