You can no longer install Google apps on the Mate 30 Pro

02 October 2019
Long story short - it's unsafe so Huawei and Google no longer allow it.

It was originally made for older Huawei phones that didn't come with Google Services pre-installed due to being the Chinese variant.

            Why don't just Huwaei sell mate30pro with bootloader unlocked version with warranty only for the hardware and no warranty for software. So you can install whatever you want that way. Then watch global sales go 3 digit :)

                  Safetynet tests? Oh, for grants Google to be the exclusive spy business with your private data and resell it to their partners. That is the only thing it safes... what a joke.

                            Anonymous, 02 Oct 2019Samsungs fans rejoicing like little kids lolAlways one. Please grow up, everyone has a choice whether it be Samsung, Apple,Sony,Huawei et al.

                            I choose Samsung because it offers the best balance of functionality and design, even though the design isn't great, it's better than some.

                            I don't choose Apple because of its restrictive ways and lack of ability to Bluetooth files from iPhones to Android devices. If it did then I'd probably change, it's not going to change anytime soon, so I will be staying firmly in the Android camp.

                              I have a Huawei phone, honor play to be particular. I am afraid Google services will be banned of my phone all of a sudden and I'll lose access to Google services which I rely on.. I don't even have money to buy another phone.. Please do not do this cruelty to my phone... Spare my phone please..... :(
