Huawei Mate 30 and Mate X will ship without the Play Store and all other Google apps

06 September 2019
A new report confirms rumors we first heard at the end of last month.

Even sony uses google apps. Its not just about apps. I will enjoy next gen tech.

    I'll still get it :) , first huawei phone for me.

      This phone is a big disaster. No Google Services means no outside china sales.

        Honestly, this won't be really an issue if Huawei provides a way to sideload fully functional Google Play Services on their phones like other Chinese companies often do. But as I already stated in other articles, if they fail to do so, then they will be completely screwed in terms of sales outside China. Here I am hoping that Huawei is not dumb enough to ship their phones internationally without any means to use apps that interact with Google's service frameworks.

                      That is great news.

                      It means Huawei has to lower prices, or else it can say good bye tot non Asian markets.
                      I bet there will still be an easy way to install those services unofficially.

                        a google-free flagship sounds very refreshing, tbh

                          The important question isnt answered: will older huawei phones still have the play store and access to all the apps or are just the new phones getting blocked?

                            I am using Honor 10 lite. Quality wise phones is superb . But it spies on you. So I use my laptop for gmail and all other imp. work. This month I will throw this Honor and will go for any other phone good other than China. MUST AVOID HUAWEI

                                    Happy that they removed Bloatware like that.
                                    Google Play services slows down phone a lot.
