Looks to HTML5 to move away from its dependence on Google OS.
Chinese vendor ZTE has done well with its Android-powered devices and ranks as the second largest OEM in the country.

He says the OS will be available in the December quarter and the decision comes to lessen its ties to the crowded Android market, a decision Nokia made with Windows Phone, a platform also used by ZTE
