The article states they are too dependent on Google/Android? If the author have used a Chinese version of android he would think its another OS and not android.<p>The localization engineered on it is just awesome when I saw one. The hand writing on screen without even showing a keyboard to type their weird characters and the speech recognition is really good. I think it is a big setback not having Google on your side but that company is rich they can throw a lot of resources to their current problem.<p>I do agree that Playstore/Appstore is a bad monopoly and the world needs another worldwide distributed appstore.
So a piece by the founder of /e/ on how phone manufacturers could use /e/ instead of Android. Though their website doesn't explain what /e/ actually is. From the screenshots is it just Linage with f-droid?
I must be missing something. How can Google revoke HuaWei's Android license when Android is licensed with Apache and GPL v2? (<a href="https://source.android.com/setup/start/licenses" rel="nofollow">https://source.android.com/setup/start/licenses</a>) What is Google actually doing?
Oh, please not PWAs... Android itself goes more and more towards native applications instead (Kotlin Native as the main driver of the modernization). So PWAs are definitely not future.
people are saying this is game over for huawei but i see it the other way, right now they have a good hold in the market as do other chinese manufacturers, they have the funds and resources to create a solid alternative which i imagine would be swiftly accepted by other manufacturers who will no doubt face the same issues huawei have<p>on top of that people are starting to become wary of the slight monopoly google have, many people are ready and waiting to jump ship, rather than the death of huawei as a major player i think this may be the start of google losing their stranglehold on the market
