The new mobile operating system is targeted to be launched in coming
months, as part of plans by the Chinese telecoms equipment maker to
reduce its reliance on Android and Windows.
China's ZTE is partnering Mozilla, the maker of Internet browser
Firefox, to launch a new mobile operating system "later this year or
early next year".
"It's all part of our wider plans to create a better balance of
products using various operating systems. We won't just rely on Android
or Windows." said ZTE spokesman David Dai Shu in a Reuters article on Wednesday.
He added that ZTE would roll out the operating system with Mozilla
over the next few months, and planned to introduce a product for use in
mobile devices either at the same time or a little later.
ZTE is also looking into Web-based operating systems, but has no
immediate plans to support those developed by Chinese Internet firms
such as Baidu Inc and Alibaba, Dai said in the article.
Most of ZTE's phones currently run on Android, while its Tania series uses Windows, noted Reuters.
There has also been a push by other Chinese companies to introduce
their own mobile OS recently. Earlier this month, Acer planned to unveil
a mobile phone running Alibaba's Aliyun OS, but was reportedly forced to scrap the launch due to pressure from Google
