San Francisco, November 1: Carl Pei said Nothing may introduce its own operating system; however, he hinted it would be hard. The Nothing CEO said that Android and iOS dominated the majority of the OS market in the world. However, other companies like Huawei picked up the pace and introduced their own operating system called 'Harmony OS', which was not based on the Android OS but completely built from scratch.
Besides Apple, which has its own operating system, iOS, most smartphone brands use Google's Android operating system. They customise the UI skin of their own OS based on Google's platform. According to a report by TechCrunch, Nothing CEO Carl Pei emphasised the challenges of developing an OS different from other brands.

The report mentioned that Huawei went through tremendous trouble building its own operating system and did not use the one offered by Google's Android.
