Rumor has it that Huawei is developing a new custom Kirin OS and is going to launch it in the Honor Play event. Keep reading for more juicy news!

Huawei to launch Kirin OS for the Honor Play gaming phone

Recently, the company has released a new poster to the Honor Play event. The invite for the Huawei Honor Play unveiling promised a “groundbreaking experience,” but didn’t say anything more. And there were vague mentions of “4D gaming”, but again with no further details. However, new images have surfaced online suggest that the innovation behind all these promises may be a custom operating system by Huawei. Perhaps it would run on Linux base and go by the name Kirin.

Besides, when talking about Honor Play’s innovation, chairman of the Chinese company used the metaphor “flying in the sky” to illustrate the speed of the new Kirin OS. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard such rumors. They date back to at least 2015. Back then it seemed more like a defensive move in case Google gave Huawei the cold shoulder. Yet, given ZTE’s fate under the controversial ban, Google might not be Huawei’s biggest worry anymore.

On a side note, while waiting for more information about this new Kirin OS, let’s check out some details about the Huawei Honor Play again. Underhood, Huawei Honor Play gaming smartphone specs pack a 5.84-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. In details, the Honor Play gets power from the Kirin 659 chipset with Mali-T830 MP2 GPU. Besides that, this phone sports 4GB RAM with either 32GB or 128GB of onboard storage which is expandable via a MicroSD card. Click HERE to read about the remaining info about the Huawei Honor Play.

Huawei Kirin OS release date

Now, these images could be false, but there are plenty of custom operating systems out there, so it’s not unlikely that they are real either. Plus, in China as long as a phone runs WeChat, the underlying OS doesn’t matter. After all, let’s all wait until the official launch date of Huawei Honor Play on June 6 to make a conclusion.
