          Anonymous, 08 Sep 2019Come on now. Huawei has been making the best Android phones... moreThey've been making the best PPTs since eternity.
          And of course the US government doesn't dictate companies like the Chinese government does, Trump can tell Apple to leave China but it's all bluff. There is no material pressure from Trump nor does Apple really budge.

            Luk3us, 07 Sep 2019Well that's the end of that phone.Well call ita new beggining.
            No bloatware by google could be pros.

Go on deep web and dark web and you will se what you get there and what is hidden from you... Spying is real and china is master of it. They stole more or less everything they can...

                First of all no Google services will work withouth google approval, second no regular user (99,99%) will ever buy somethink that doesnt support basic smart phone function, maps,youtube and gmail are more or less must have for 99,99% of people, and no browser can work as god as apps. Remember how it go with windows. No apps no users, no windows. Bloatware? You should worry abouth china shit. Their politics censure and monitor much more then ther rest of the world, so who can say that google spys? China is famous for stelling stuff and censuring shit... Huawei you are next NOKIA. hahahahahahahahhahahahaha

                  Superb, faster it'll drop in price and faster i'll buy it. I don't need the bloatware/spyware and crap apps from Google installed in my phone. Let it use Harmony OS as an alternative too.

                    To those saying that they will just side load the gapps, don't be too optimistic yet, remember this is a total ban.
                    Google can easily block any huawei phone from accessing their services, they can always block them in their server side.
                    This is a big blow to huawei, I work at the largest Telecom company in the Philippines(SMART), we stopped selling any huawei phone and we will not be carrying any upcoming huawei phone without the Google services. you all have no idea how many customers ask to return their huawei product when the news regarding the ban was shown on the news.
                    We didn't refund though, we just explain the situation, but the majority of them are really angry that they can't return their phones.

                      Anonymous, 09 Sep 2019For me this is game over for Huawei. Mate X should already ... moreWhy do you say it comes without any app store?

                      It comes without google play store, sure, but there are other app stores for android :-)

                        developing app for android without google myself & I got feeling that open sourcing it from google is just market BS ... they have way how to pull you in to their version of the world with so many API services which just works if you comply to google's rules... its business after all..
                        so its ok, we have to be just aware of it... make visible what BIG corporations (or/and countries govs ;) tries to hide
                        P.S:: I witnessed as google asked for access to some sensitive proprietary device sensors in exchange for access to playstore services (just my 2 cents)

So many trolls and mentally reduced people with the same old comments about being spied on by China and all the other BS like this, damn it'so funny and sad at the same time to see how easily some people are brain washed but like you said, let them go buy gold iPhones and other useless crap like this and I will buy this the moment it comes out.

                                      This phone will only sell in China seeing there is no google in any case.
                                      Any proof that the chipset is crap? Or is that your butthurt opinion? (Yes, they don't have the best chips, but any link to how crap it is? I only see articles about how far ahead they are)
