AliExpress sellers will be installing Google apps before shipping 😂

    Ship without Google service and Asia will get it firstx. Im expecting a price below 900$ but considering the price they have revealed, I guess that would be atleast 1100$.

        Perhaps for u but u must know that games is the most downloaded software on playstore. It's a large market to ignore.

          Mail, sms, camera, file manager + pdf, that is it.

            Didn't they say they have their Harmony Os ready,i knew they were lying ,and all the Huawei Fan boys were shouting up and down faster than Android,Harmony/Hongmeng/Ark os is the end of Android, how's the market now... Truth is You may try to sideload some apps but most app need Google play services to worl and along the line google may decide to block those apps later,and not everyone know how to root or sideload,so Goodluck with that.. love ma Huawei devices but we have to be real here and don't let sentiments speaks for us.

Alot of sideloaded games won't work without play services... Even at launch of the game, they require play services... Coc, NBA live to name a few... This ain't good...

                        Might as well say that this is the year of apple, samsung and other huawei haters. Apple and Samsung could be partying right now, while huawei haters have even more reason to spread hate. Sad it has come to this.

                          Most people don't understand but, google services are used for a lot of apps for Notifications and some apps won't run without it.
                          That's the real playservices issue, downloading the apps themselves is not an issue.

                                Why isn't the EU helping Huawei. Because they can't make money from it with fines I guess.

                                      Its officially not coming to Denmark for now. Huawei has a big marketshare here so thats saying a lot. I am guessing that means Europe wont be getting it at all.
