More Huawei Nexus Phone Details Emerge; Firm Reportedly Working on Kirin OS

Huawei might be working with Google for the next Nexus smartphone; though, this doesn't appear to have stopped the Chinese handset company to work on its own OS. Reports from China claim that Huawei has been working on its own OS now for at least three years. Additionally, more details about Huawei-made Nexus have made it to the Internet.

The move to develop its own OS might be Huawei's way to be free from dependence on Google's Android OS. Gizmochina reports that as per sources with knowledge of the matter that Huawei is working on a new smartphone that will feature a "self-developed mobile OS." It further adds that the Huawei OS will work with the company's own chip, the Kirin SoC. Details about the OS are limited as of now; though more information can be expected to be revealed soon.

Many handset OEMs including Samsung (with its Tizen OS) have tried their hands on moving away from Google's Android ecosystem but commercially haven't seen much success.
