I think the world will soon have third OS and it'll basically be West vs East... Russia will support Huawei like they already do, for example, so that says enough...

People in China are using phones without google services all the time. Now rest of the world can experience how is it :)
But outside China, phones without Google services (apps) can not survive, that's for sure.

This is what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket and rely on a single software provide. A bet Huawei are wishing they’d just created their own os and ecosystem now.

No problem Huawei. Ship without and just make a video of supported method to sideload the Google play store and services.

Great! A new alternative will emerge from this. I would still buy Huawei phones, as long as APK can be sideloaded. At least now I get full control over which Google services to install.

Will you be able to download gapps yourself or will Huawei be forced to not allow you to install any google services on your phone? What will happen if you have a subscription to say 'Express VPN' which needs play services for their android app to function....This is a joke; How on earth is a Huawei phone a danger to US security - its not as if all of the US senate are using them (they aren't even sold in the US), why stop the rest of the world from having one. This couldn't be due to the fact that Huawei were well on their way to overtaking 'Apple' in the global sales market. Im gutted - the Mate 30 Pro was going to be my next phone ;-(

This is a tremendous incentive to buy. Google has turned evil and anything sans google/android is on a winner! My next phone.

Anonymous, 07 Sep 2019Yahooooooo... No more bloat ware. .. Pure experienceIf you think that way, the most probable scenario is that you will never buy a mate30 or for that matter ANY current flagship device, that's it, pure and simple

Personally no Google apps wouldn't bother me one bit, but i understand why the average person wouldn't want to use a device like that.
Here's to hoping they come to a settlement soon after release, so that they can fix this issue ASAP. All they'd need to do is release a software update that includes the Google apps.
