planetGuo

PlanetGuo is an autonomous smartphone operating system created by Guo Chengyu, a Chinese technology entrepreneur. The operating system was first announced in 2016 with the goal of providing a secure and private alternative to mainstream mobile platforms.

Key features of PlanetGuo include a focus on encryption and secure system design, as well as integration with various messaging and social media services. The platform is designed to be highly customizable, with users able to tailor the user interface and features to their individual needs. PlanetGuo also includes a marketplace for apps and games, although it is not clear how extensive this selection is.

The development of PlanetGuo has been characterized as a high-priority project within China, with the government seen to be providing significant support for the initiative. Guo Chengyu has stated that his goal in creating the operating system was to provide a platform that is more secure and private than existing alternatives, and to offer a homegrown solution to China's mobile computing needs.

As of the last public update, PlanetGuo was only available for installation on select devices, and its adoption rate has not been extensively reported on. Furthermore, the project's development and support situation remain unclear, with some analysts speculating that the initiative may have stalled. Despite this, PlanetGuo continues to be seen as an example of China's efforts to develop domestic technology solutions and establish greater control over its digital infrastructure.
