Huawei Technologies will first equip its self-developed operating system on new smart display products to be launched by budget brand Honor this weekend, according to people familiar with the situation.

This comes as the world’s second largest smartphone vendor continues to battle the effects of being placed on a US trade blacklist.

The long-awaited operating system, known as Hongmeng, will be introduced during the three-day Developer Conference in Dongguan starting August 9, said the people, who declined to be identified as the information is private.

On July 26, Honor president George Zhao Ming unveiled the HiSilicon “Honghu 818” intelligent chipset and smart pop-up camera for large screens at the Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC) in Guangzhou.

The move was a warm up ahead of the official release of the smart display products in Dongguan.

Google and Microsoft, whose Android and Windows operating systems are currently used on Huawei’s laptops and tablets, have both suspended access for new Huawei devices.
