Huawei plans to drop Android entirely in gadgets from 2025

The company's new flagship phone, the Mate 70, will debut HarmonyOS Next, the iteration of its operating system that does away with remnants of Android in favor of entirely indigenous tech.

Announced at a live-streamed event on Nov 26, the new devices and software add to Huawei's campaign to reclaim China's premium tier from Apple and build an ecosystem without the involvement of major US tech providers.

Available on Dec 4, the Mate 70 and its Pro variants are the follow-up to Huawei's most significant device in years, the Mate 60.

The 2023 edition, powered by a made-in-China processor, brought Huawei back into the smartphone industry limelight and signaled its ability to work around US trade curbs designed to cut it off from the most advanced chipmaking.
