"During a media interview, Huawei’s CEO Ren Zhengfei told the press that Hongmeng operating system could be 60% faster than Apple or Android. However, Hongmeng OS’s biggest hurdle is that it lacks a well-established app ecosystem. Huawei is already in the process of developing a substitute for the Google Play Store and attracting new developers. With Huawei’s large user base as well as influence in China, developers in China will be willing to develop apps that are compatible with Hongmeng OS. Nonetheless, Huawei’s overseas users’ experience could be impacted due to a less developed app ecosystem compared to Apple’s iOS or Android." –Mengmeng Zhang
