Among all of the hardware manufacturers using Android as their operating system, the Chinese companies seem to be the most reluctant on going all-in with Google’s offering.

Huawei and ZTE are reportedly going in the direction of Xiaomi by exploring options to become less dependent on Android. In fact, there are rumblings that Huawei has prepared a new device that features an operating system developed in-house. The operating system, currently referred to as Kirin OS, has apparently been in development for three years and works with a Huawei-made Kirin processor.

It sounds like Huawei is going for the do-it-yourself approach with two major areas of a mobile device. There may even be a possibility we see this device revealed at Huawei’s June 2 event.
