Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei said that the in-house platform - Hongmeng OS - is not designed for smartphones and the company plans to continue using Android.

While a mobile platform usually contains millions of lines of code, Hongmeng had "hundreds of thousands" of lines which makes it more secure and has an extreme low latency compared to other smartphone operating systems, Catherine Chen, Senior Vice President, Huawei told reporters.
