Huawei is working to compensate for the effects of its lack of GMS on its smartphones. At the Huawei Developer Day India chapter recently, country chief Charles Peng said that Huawei is working with Indian developers to develop applications and services that replace Google Mobile Services (GMS).
"We have our own HMS (Huawei Mobile Services) and are trying to build a mobile ecosystem," Peng was quoted by the Economic Times as saying. "Most of the key apps such as navigation, payments, gaming and messaging will be ready by December end . "
Peng says consumers will not see many differences between HMS and GMS. “We are focusing on how to work with developers to offer a good customer experience. It is a challenge that we are trying to address,” he said.
It’s not just Indian developers Huawei is wooing to populate its own ecosystem, as the company is investing $1 billion globally as part of its HMS developer integration program. It recently announced a similar developer program in South Africa.
Huawei currently has a million registered developers for HMS globally. “We will create an end to end business model with developers, content and service providers. We will provide value to them,” Peng said.
As it was banned from using Google Mobile Services (GMS), Huawei created its own Huawei Mobile Service (HMS) and has launched a fund to encourage ecological developers, covering maps, music, video, email and other fields. Now, the HMS is finally up for public test in China, cnTechPost reported on Monday.
HMS is a collection of basic services provided by Huawei to replace GMS. It provides basic services such as Huawei account, in-app messaging, message notification, identity verification, and code scanning.
This public test has two applications for test, one is HMS and the other is HMS Core Test. This version of HMS has fixed some known issues and improved some performance experience.
