[TRENDING] Plan B: Huawei's operating system headache after Android ban eNCA

It is a possibility that Huawei has been preparing for years -- reportedly since 2012 -- by building an operating system of its own.

"That is our Plan B. But we would of course prefer to work together with the ecosystems provided by Google and Microsoft."Washington last week imposed a ban on the sale or transfer of American technology to the firm -- which could impact hundreds of millions of Huawei phones and tablets around the world.

While both Google and Huawei have reassured users that their phones will continue to function as normal, this could present major problems for Huawei, and apps on its phones could become unusable if it does not have access to code licensed by Google to phone makers.
