When Huawei announced the Mate 10 series, the company not only
announced the features of the first AI capable SoC the Kirin 970, but
also gave special focus to a whole new feature that their newest
flagship was packing, the Easy Projection.
The feature is very similar to the Samgung DeX, debuted with Galaxy
Note 8, and resemble the early concepts of Windows Phones working with
Windows 10. Basically the Easy Projection works by bringing a desktop
experience to users without the need of an expensive accessory to dock
the handset. In counterpart of its competition Huawei Mate 10’s rely
only on its USB 3.1 Type-C to activate the feature in a desktop.
Apparently there is some additional info behind the feature that
Huawei didn’t announce, after an investigation conducted by the folks at
XDA-Developers, an APK disassemble revealed some parts of the Project
Phoenix OS in the Huawei Easy Project Feature.
The Phoenix OS is a project developed by the Beijing Chaozhuo
Technology, basically is an Android Based operating system for computer
with x86 platform and some ARM devices, however for the later the
software is a little more capped than for the full x86 Desktop
platforms. Those who remember from the goner Remix OS it’s basically the
same thing, a Desktop Multi-tasking interface running atop of Android.
When Huawei announced the Easy Projection they didn’t mention any
involvement with Project Phoneix, this can’t be easily justified by the
fact that Chinese behemoth didn’t wanted to advertise another product on
their smartphone launch. After digging in the APKs behind the feature
XDA devs found Phoenix OS logo and a link the redirect to a page
containing a curious information.
