Whackcar, 02 Sep 2019Huawei used to allow bootloader unlocking until last year, ... moreThey could but I think that may be ill-advised. Trumpet could take this as a token of their "bad faith" and "complete disrespect of America" or whatever he feels like Tweeting and revoke the time extension or have more fines in place for China or whatever.

Maybe the fans will go through the steps to get gApps manually (or even better, MicroG as someone pointed out in a reply to me) but I doubt the casual user would. They'd buy the device and return it on the account of "no Play Store" and buy something else.

      Does anyone have any idea about exactly what that cutout on the top left corner (on the back) means?

      While it's just a case render, my heart flutters at the possibility of a Xenon Flash. It's been a long while we've seen one of those on a phone.

      Also because speaker grill is clear at the bottom.

      So what the heck is it?

        Purchased an AL00 M20X, ain't chit to install the gapps you want. And no carrier bloat ware junk you can't uninstall. Best phone hands down I've ever had.

          I really like huawei phones. I never owned one my self, I currently use samsung galaxy s9+. What is pushing away from Huawei is the google ban

            Definitely excited for the camera specs, I wonder what Huawei has done with the Mate 30/30 Pro.

              AnonD-558092, 02 Sep 2019https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-mate-30-without-googl... moreHuawei used to allow bootloader unlocking until last year, then they stopped doing it for some reason. Now due to the ongoing BS, they might end up allowing it again.

              Also, even if the phone launches without gapps, they could simply add a open gapps download & installation menu during the phone startup setup. Most people wouldn't even complain about that due to it's simplicity.

                  An expensive brick :D

                    People will be excited to buy Huawei if it comes with its own OS, people have faith in Huawei in terms of its product quality. It can actually price it competitive and further encroach the Samsung market in Asia, Europe, ME, Africa....My M20P is doing excellent, and I am willing to tolerate few months of app support issues and willing to experiment...I have tried BB and Windows Mobile, I am sure world is still rotating at the same speed inspite of their failures

                      Is it just me or Huawei new phone events are getting more exciting than Apples

                        I don't care about Google bloatware if these phones are around $300-380.
                        :-)))

                        I don't understand why Huawei still want to suck on Google.
                        It's d.o.a in the non-China markets. So might as well release with Harmony OS.

In China u cant even install Google Apps just by using apk, because its network doesnt allow. Considering in other country its not blocked, safe to say u can always install it by apk without root.

                            When you unlock a phone all the network preloaded apps remain even if they go nowhere on your new network

                            This escalation is a from a person who knows everything about nothing, art of the deal Ha.

                            Huawei is he hoped the leverage he hoped that would get China to sign a deal

                            From Pompeo you install Huawei 5G equipment, the US doesn't share Security Intel.

                            Ok so now US we are gonna ban Huawei, not yet, not after this second 90 day extension
                            When please I am fed up of waiting
                            Just ignore the 160 plus U.S companies that applied for a licence to deal with Huawei

                            Escalation, the media is reporting that the Trade Deal may not be resolved in 2019, so expect an extension again

                            I can believe that no one stepped up after Huawei was put on the banned list for National Security reasons, when that was shown is not the case , the US was allowed yo vonon

Meizu, for instance, has something called Google Installer in their own app store that allows people to install Google Frameworks and Play Services with a single tap. If Huawei can prepare a similar solution for future Huawei devices then there won't be much of a problem. If they can't for some reasons, however, they are really screwed.

                                Bring Mate 30 in the world , with or without Google pre-install apps. No need to worry because you download and install Google Play Store apk file and install Gmails , Google Maps and so on.

                                        I would be interested in the Mate 30X, but how do you think we can get the Gapps in the end?
