In an interview at Huawei’s headquarters in Shenzhen, Kevin Ho, the president of the handsets business said his company is moving forward with the expectation that Google’s waiver will be granted, enabling the use of Android’s OS on new Huawei scheduled for launch later this year, reported YahooFinance.

“Google is still trying to supply to Huawei,” Ho said. “We have had several conversations about how to collaborate.”

Google did not respond to a request for comment. Intel, another major U.S. supplier of Huawei, said it’s working hard in Washington in order to continue to sell to Huawei.
