Huawei Consumer Business (CBG) has established a new secondary department: Consumer BG Global Ecological Development Department, which is responsible for the ecological construction of Huawei HMS (Huawei Mobile Services), Chinastarmarket reported on Thursday.
HMS is Huawei's response to the US Google's termination of the provision of ecological services to Huawei (Google's ban), which is Huawei's self-developed smartphone ecosystem.
The president of the new division, Wang Yanchen, reported to CBG CEO Richard Yu that the number of staff was tentatively 36, the report said.
Next week, Honor will officially release the Honor V30 series mobile phone equipped with HMS for the European market. This is also the first smartphone with pre-installed HMS ecosystem since Huawei entered the "entity list".
Regarding the timing and channel of the release, Honor has not given any further reply, but from the perspective of Huawei's own ecological advancement in recent months, the previously mentioned "spare tire" plan is on track. The application team in the ecological HMS is also growing.
"The success of HMS will directly affect Huawei's overall performance in 2020." Jia Mo, an analyst at Canalys, a market research agency, told reporters that although Huawei is continuing its efforts to educate developers to support HMS, it is currently fighting against Google to gain some overseas mainstream Software support is still very difficult.
