29 August 2019
Google's software suite includes key apps like Play Store and Maps, but also functionality that third-party apps rely on.

See the GPU benchmark of QHD+ screen (except Apple which has powerful GPU)! And, what's the point of having increasing battery capacity while the displaye eats consumption much? See the battery endurance of P30 Pro compare to the QHD+ phone!

    Only VR usage is QHD+ need display. Real daily usage is useless.

            toastyman, 29 Aug 2019can't you just install all of them with apks??Google able to detect which model of phone u are using it. even manually install apk, but it not allow to even open the apps or login

              I stopped liking Huawei phones since they locked the bootloader.
              I'm never going back to them. It was arrogant of them.

                Huawei died when they raise their product's price but not the phone value. just look at p30 pro; a phone with super premium price but just 1080p display! also in mid-range phones most companies use Oled display and Huawei using cheap LCD panels. I don't care about Huawei when brands such as Xiaomi , Oneplus, Oppo ,Vivo and Meizu offer more valuable products at lower price

                  Stondec100, 29 Aug 2019You're so profoundly ignorant, it's unbelievable. Trump is ... moreI'm not from the US neither am i a US citizen. I'm an African, as you all know, president Trump has made painful remarks against us that many still hold against him.
                  The truth is that President Trump is not a politician or an actor, not a pretender, or a compromiser or a cheat.He is a real patriot. I envy you and you should be proud of him.

                    R.I.P Huawei Mate 30

                      noiseyboy, 29 Aug 2019So the BBC heard it from someone who heard it from someone ... moreits not just been reported by the bbc , its come from google themselves , its been picked up all over the internet , google havent even applied for a licence to work with them , ouch

                        Huawei hw is great even without them, they are also capable of bringing new services without problem. Its getting more probable now.

Trump is ... moreI'm sorry, but Trump trying everything in his power to crush Huawei will not make USA great again.... China will not yield to Donald Trump's absurd demands, even if Huawei is devasted by this sanctions... Even if jobs leave China, they are not coming back to the US, capitalism doesn't work that way. Donald Trumps's isolationism and protectionism will not make USA great again in the long run. Trade war will just assure that both countries will crash and burn together and with them the global economy...

In the world, if anything. He's the only one who has been able to raise a 30% tax on US businesses and citizens AND blame other countries for it.

                              Really admire him. Haha and the American citizens all buy into it. Makes me think that possibly, the smartest person in the US is Trump.

                                Wonder to which degree the ban is circumventable legally. Android is free open source except for a small proprietary core part which Huawei perhaps could make a substitute for. As for he apps, Huawei could create an empty Playstore and stock it with copies from the Google's Playstore? But if not then the banned apps can be accessed in a browser like Firefox.

                                  RC255, 29 Aug 2019Everyone knows Trump only likes iPhones and will happily us... moreYou're so profoundly ignorant, it's unbelievable. Trump is fighting for the USA, not "his own personal needs"

                                  He's not the president of China, but of the USA and he's doing his job better than any president in modern times. The leftist media have a pathologic hatred towards him and are therefore lying and brainwashing poorly thinking people like you.

                                    So the BBC heard it from someone who heard it from someone else.

                                    Huawei haven't even officially announced the phone or admitted it's existence and therefore Google would be under NDA to even mention it let alone discuss what they're plans are for it.

                                    I recall a few months ago there was plenty of media reports saying plenty of other stuff so I'm taking this one with a pinch of salt.

                                      Frankly, gigantic global companies like Apple and Google should not be politicised and used as geopolitical leverages

                                        Anonymous, 29 Aug 2019 no, it will require a flashing tool to install the package... morewhy would they need to be flashed? if the OS is still android, it should just install, just would not be secure, and not get updates and such from play services.
                                        Im not up on flashing zip files, i only have sideloaded APKs myself, but if android is installed then it will recognise the apps right?
