Huawei used the email to highlight its inputs towards the growth of Android worldwide. The company asserted that its contributions even helped grow its phone sales while other Android phone makers had their sales shrinking.
In the email, Huawei assures existing users of Huawei and Honor handsets that they will continue to receive security updates and after-sales service.
Not only Huawei and Honor handsets being used by people will get this privilege. Those that have been shipped already and those in stock worldwide will also continue receiving updates as usual.
Below is the response from Huawei.
“Huawei has made substantial contributions to the development and growth of Android around the world. As one of Android’s key global partners, we have worked closely with their open-source platform to develop an ecosystem that has benefitted both users and the industry.
Huawei will continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products, covering those that have been sold and that are still in stock globally.
We will continue to build a safe and sustainable software ecosystem, in order to provide the best experience for all users globally.”
Well, according to the CEO, Huawei is actually preparing an in-house Android alternative operating software so Huawei fans and owners could be assured that the company won’t go down easily.
As of last year, Huawei bought about $11 billion components from US suppliers. This ban means these companies won’t get to supply Huawei no more, thereby, reducing their annual revenue.
All said, we still hope the parties involved in the US/China trade war find a better resolution point so that innocent companies don’t get dragged into it.
