I believe that everyone knows that many international brands in Russia have withdrawn, and the Russian people as ordinary consumers have naturally encountered a lot of inconveniences in their lives. If nothing else, let's talk about mobile phones, first of all, Apple and Samsung have announced the suspension of sales of all products in Russia, and even Apple has restricted the payment function of mobile phones, which has caused an uproar.
Yesterday, according to Russian media reports, Google has stopped certifying The Android system smartphone of Russian BQ Company, which also means that the previously certified device can continue to run, but the Android system of the device after that may have problems.
This has been confirmed by Vladimir Buzanov, general manager of BQ Russia, who said the company received a notice from Google saying that U.S. law prohibits the provision of services to Russia, including exports, re-exports, and the provision of U.S.-origin software and technology to Russia.
Is this situation quite familiar to everyone? In 2019, Google disabled Huawei's GMS service, Huawei was frustrated in overseas markets, and people about mobile phones know that disabling GMS services means that google stores cannot provide services such as downloading applications and purchasing.
Simply put, you want to buy a mobile phone, but you are prohibited from downloading basic applications such as WeChat, QQ, Alipay, etc. Do you dare to buy it? Therefore, there is a lot of news about Huawei's decline for a while.
However, Huawei is also a cruel person, and then launched HarmonyOS, which is an operating system that can support multiple devices and hardware, whether it is mobile phones, tablets or watches, cars, IoT Internet of Things and other devices, only need a system to connect, can cover memory as small as 128K, large to 4GB or more and other large and small smart terminal devices.
Why mention Huawei's Hongmeng system? This is mainly due to overseas media reports, Russian BQ company is already testing China's Huawei's Hongmeng operating system (HarmonyOS), and related mobile phones are expected to be released in the second half of the year.
However, the latest news shows that Huawei responded to this: "Since its release, HarmonyOS has been loved by a large number of consumers. By the end of 2021, 220 million Huawei devices were equipped with HarmonyOS. We are very grateful for your attention and expectations for HarmonyOS, but there are no plans to launch a mobile phone equipped with HarmonyOS overseas. ”
What do you think about that?
