Huawei will not develop its own browser kernel, suggest source
Huawei continues to conduct research and development to improve its technology in order to enhance the user experience. Just a few days ago, a Weibo tipster – DigitalJun claimed that at the Huawei browser MEET X salon event, a manager from Huawei’s browser team revealed some insights into the upcoming Browser app.
The tipster mentioned that the Huawei manager said it will be possible to see a better Huawei browser come out in two years or 2024. On the other hand, a community name Hongmeng Technology posted that Huawei is expected to launch its self-developed kernel.
According to the Chinese Media, a hidden source close to Huawei said that Huawei is not developing its own browser kernel but it has made changes in algorithm innovation and corrections. The user privacy protection has been strengthened for user data security.
However, Huawei has not officially responded to this matter yet. For your information, Huawei Browser currently has four kernels that include:
- ID core
- Webkiticon
- Gecko
- Presto
To be mentioned, all of the above mentioned are US technologies. over 50% of China’s browser share has been covered by Google, Microsoft, and Apple. There is no browser kernel developed in mainland China. Even the Chinese Browsers such as 360 browser and QQ use the Chromium kernel of Google.
Regarding this matter, some people familiar with this subject said that the rumors of Huawei’s self-developed browser kernel were irreverent. Because it is difficult to develop a kernel similar to an operating system.
Some developers have compared the Chrome Browser kernel and showcased that a mature browser needs over 10 million to 100 million codes. Also, if 1000 skilled engineers are hired for development then it may take around 1 year or more. Meanwhile, the labor costs will be in billions. However, Huawei has such economic power to develop its own browser kernel but currently, it is not the best choice.

Patent:
Recently, two patents have surfaced on China’s intellectual property office, which reveal Huawei’s use of AI in instant reply software. However, we can say that Huawei has already applied a lot of AI software to human conversation technology, which was way ahead of ChatGPT. But Huawei has not revealed any plans to implement such tech in Huawei devices.
ChatGPT:
ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy, however, was identified as a significant drawback. Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s valuation was estimated at US$29 billion.

After the events of the U.S. ban, Huawei had to reduce its capacity of building new smartphones, which result in low yield and sales, and now, Xiaomi claims that it took over 50 million of Huawei’s users.
During the Xiaomi Investment Day, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group said that Huawei has lost over 80 million smartphone users, of which, Xiaomi took over 50 million.
This is quite a big statement made by the head of the Chinese phone maker as Huawei was forced to leave the market due to the restrictions on manufacturing.
After not meeting the market requirements the share of Huawei’s smartphone market declined severely in both the Chinese and global markets. While other smartphone makers are the ones that got most of the benefits.
From the rest, Apple took over 20 million users and Honor grabbed 10 million, which accounts for an overall 80 million Huawei users.
According to the data revealed by Canalys, the global smartphone market ranked Samsung first and Apple second, which has increased by 22 percent and 19 percent respectively. While Xiaomi declined to 13 percent.
Aside from Apple and Samsung, other smartphone maker has declined. On this matter, Xiaomi’s president said that the decline in his firm is related to various reasons such as currency depreciation, chips from shortage to surplus, and intensified competition, the global mobile phone market will decline by 12% in 2022, of which the Chinese market will decline by 13%.
Why not?
It was an opportunity for all of the smartphone companies with an open opportunity to grab Huawei’s market share and it fell directly into their lap without doing anything.
