Huawei's alternative operating system to Android may be called Ark OS: Report

Since US President Donal Trump's executive order to ban Huawei in the country, several companies cut ties with Huawei.

First Google announced that it will revoke Android license from the company, then German chipmaker Infineon suspended shipments to Huawei, soon after ARM employees were instructed to suspend business with Huawei, and then Microsoft took down Huawei laptops from its store. Intel, Qualcomm, and SD Association have also suspended their business with the company. Meaning, if Huawei wanted to continue to be the second largest smartphone maker in the world, or even remain in the industry, it needs to sustain itself.

In order to do that, with the Android license revoked, last week, Huawei said that it could roll out its own operating system for smartphones and laptops in China. The new OS was believed to be announced this autumn, and we already see the plan coming along.

Per a report by Android Headline, Huawei has trademarked three names with the European Union Intellectual Property Office, including HUAWEI ARK OS, HUAWEI ARK, ARK, and ARK OS. All of these trademarks were filed on 24 May 2019.

While the company hasn't officially confirmed the name of the operating system, but considering Huawei needs to accelerate the process due to the Android ban, it is highly likely that one of these will be the official names of its new OS. Ark OS is a popular bet.

Further, another report last week suggested that Huawei is also in talks with Aptoide to act as a Google Play Store replacement.

No more 'No questions asked': Amazon will ban you permanently if you return too many items

Till now, Amazon's policy spared the customer disputes with couriers, sellers and manufacturers over defective or unsuitable goods. But not anymore. One reason online retailers such as Amazon have been able to pull customers from brick-and-mortar stores is the 'no questions asked' return policy. Anyone can return an item within 30 days without having to give an explanation. This policy spared the customer disputes with couriers, sellers and manufacturers over defective or unsuitable goods. But not anymore. Amazon USA has started quizzing customers over returned items and has even banned accounts from which even 10% of ordered items were returned, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. A number of customers have shared their experience on Twitter. A customer tweeted a letter she got from Amazon, asking her to explain why she had returned so many items in the past 12 months.

Renders of the Lenovo Z5 show the front-facing camera

Surprisingly, this time around the latest Lenovo Z5 info comes from a leak and not from the company's VP. All the information we have on the device so far was officially teased from the Lenovo's official, but now something extra has slipped through the cracks. The renders show the promised nearly bezel-less display with a small chin on the bottom. This is in line with the previous teasers showing nothing but screen and thankfully no notch. They also reveal how Lenovo has tackled the front-facing camera and the accompanying sensors problem. Lenovo Z5 press renders Just like the Xiaomi Mi Mix , the upcoming Lenovo Z5 will incorporate the front-facing camera, the ambient sensor, and probably the proximity sensor, on the chin. The earpiece is missing, obviously, so we suspect some kind of tech similar to the one driving the Mi Mix with the vibrating screen replacing the speaker.
