Huawei Challenges Apple with Android-Free Smartphone Launch
Huawei has launched the Mate 70 smartphone, featuring its homegrown HarmonyOS Next operating system, which does not support Android apps. This move is part of Huawei's strategy to counter US sanctions and establish itself as a major player in the high-end smartphone market, challenging Apple and Google. The Mate 70 marks a significant step in Huawei's software development, aiming to build a robust app ecosystem and expand globally. Huawei's market share in China's premium segment has grown significantly, while Apple's has declined.
