Huawei will not release a Dual OS smartphone

March 20, 2014

A few weeks ago, Huawei’s Chief Marketing Officer, Shao Yang, said that the company is planning to release a Dual OS smartphone powered by Android and Windows Phone and that it would be available in Q2. However, according to a recent report made by FierceWireless, Huawei said that the company has no plans to release a Dual OS smartphone denying a recent statement made by its executive.

“Huawei Consumer Business Group adopts an open approach towards mobile operating systems to provide a range of choices for consumers,” the company said in a statement to FierceWireless. “However, most of our products are based on Android OS, [and] at this stage there are no plans to launch a dual-OS smartphone in the near future.”

A Huawei spokeswoman said that the company’s plans had changed since its executive, Shao Yang, made a statement earlier about a Dual OS device. However the company said that it is still committed to work with Microsoft stating that ”Microsoft is still a key global partner of Huawei Consumer Business Group”. “As long as the consumers continue to demand Windows, we will continue to supply them.”
