And then only users that have the knowledge to root and modify their phones will be able to use them. And actually there are a few of them compared to the mayority of buyers.
      It's not that simple as "sideloading"... that's a workaround that could stop working from one day to the next.

        I didn't even bother reading this lying CEO's lack of excuses for soft improvements to the Mate 30 series.

          right always, 20 Sep 2019LOL Huawei can just launch their own OS and sell the device... moreMeanwhile your almighty iPhone Made by Chinese company too

            Guys all Google apps like YouTube, Google maps, chrome will work on Huawei p30 pro all u need to do is download the apk on internet. The no play services means the phone will not come pre-installed with those apps which I mentioned above but can be downloaded on your own or from other 3rd party app store

              I hear about Google collecting anonymized data for machine learning algorithms, and you get opt out. On the other hand, I also hear about European companies discovering back doors in Huawei telecommunications equipment. Google is a capitalist corporation, not a company with ties to the Chinese Communist party and military with an interest in crushing dissent or circumventing Iranian sanctions. You can't possibly compare the two things. Let me know when the head of Google gets arrested for lying about the destination of purchased parts and turning around and selling them to a terrorist-supporting theocracy to make some quick cash - then we can compare the ethics of the two companies.

                Anonymous, 20 Sep 2019Lol you're the one dreaming.. Please read more.. In China, ... more" In China, they already banned Google service and still thrive... "

                China is a literal captive market. You can't extrapolate that to countries where people have freedom of choice... or, well, just plain freedom.

                  LOL Huawei can just launch their own OS and sell the device...! i know that OS will be just another Android Skin..! hahaha its hilarious a chinese company wants to connects emotionally..!

                    If huawei manage to survive without google services, other oem might follow as well.. Personally i can live without google service, plus no more memory and battery hogging in the background.

                      It's actually may be interesting to see or experience the world without Google. It's surely great to one click everything and enjoy, but it's obvious like one country can affect users all around the world, should one still not care?

                                    Anonymous, 20 Sep 2019what about you need Gmail to get the critical info ?you can use gmail the service with any email client.
                                    You may be even able to download and use gmail.app fro apk mirror or some other 3rd party place.
                                    For me the problem is NOT gmail or even play store but Google Maps and Waze. Here maps is it as good where I am.

It is like buying a Ferrari from a Ferrari official showroom in London, but without software installed in the main frame computer. And the seller says: "No problem sir, you can sildeload the Ferrari software at Yura's garage in East End, a garage owned by some russian rakets. No problem, i will give you the number". This is pure LAME !!

Half of their sales are in china, so if projections were 10 million, 5 are automatically sold. Also most people don't care about google as long as they get all that stuff from app gallery. People don't really know what are uses of google services anyways, so they will most likely buy it, assume that means 20 percent of population who were going to buy this phone outside china(it's low-balling but still) that gets you 6 million, which does mean most in most books....
