Not gonna happen.
it's one chip on Huawei's shoulder Trump just wouldnt let go. Granting Microsoft license was a different thing 'cause it's not banned in China. And installing any x86 OS to any x86 device is doable by customer himself, if not pretty much straight forward for normal people. But still doable. Installing custom OS to phones is a much tougher nut to crack. Not to mention the unbelievably worst annoyance called bootloader unlock, which isn't permitted by Huawei.
Google isn't just trying to do politics, although I'm sure it's part of it, but it's just looking out for it's own interests outside China, where Google Services are allowed by local governments and helps bring massive money to Google's coffers.
In short, big name powers? They don't care for nobody except themselves. Consumer comes last in their list.

Xi0Y3iZ, 27 Feb 2020in my opinion, the ban is hurting Google more than anyone, ... moreIt's hurting everybody really. Google services are done and to be fair there are no complains about them. They just work and you got all the apps available in Google Play. Brands are always free to install their services like Huawei and Samsung do but end user always endup using Google Play.
It's hurting both Google and Huawei. But it's hurting even more us, the consumer.

It is better for Google and USA Gov to grant the licence. Huawei is no ZTE. Trump thinks Huawei is ZTE. No it is like 20 times bigger and 100 times bigger potential to overcome Google in next 5-10 years if the ban is forever and Huawei do alternative services and inplement all popular apps and services just like Google other alternative Apple do from long ago. And time 5-10years will pass fast, and big regrets from US gov too late will come with nothing to do - Huawei will be independent

Don't. Huawei is no ZTE. It will invest billions $$ and upgrade their HMS alternative, adding new popular apps every month. And in the end? Huawei will go independent from Trump bs actions and then watch Huawei dominance and Google go down the line. Because World is almost 8 000 000 000, where US is 330 00 000, no matter how rich US is, if you get my point, 7.67 billion potential customers is more than 330 mil of such

so basically, if the bully boys from the US can grant licences for american companies to trade with Huawei, it shows it clearly has nothing to do with spying or privacy issues in which it was originally cited and claimed.....

Most of the Users commenting towards this topic seem pretty shortsighted, Trump or the the ppl & politics behind this ban has nothing to do with smartphone OS OR its rat race but can be seen as a collateral damage instead.
Huawei is currently spending only a fraction of its warchest on HMS but its major money maker is Computer hardware that is used in cybersecurity & Heavy business industry , thats why it created concerns for U.S as States doesn't want (or fears) this deep integration of hardware from HUAWEI as it might create backdoor for Huawei to gain access of the cyberspace & with their budget for R&D & intentions its highly likely (as its backed by Chinese Government).. Aftermath is affecting both google & HMS but not for long as HMS is heavily investing in Indian & other country APP DEVELOPERS (close to a Billion $). So if they succeed then God help Google Android's Monopoly.. sorry for this long scripture.. No offense! Love from India.

[deleted post]Do you realize that the China trade ban also affected Apple, since most of Apple production is in China?
Guess who has the most gain from Huawei's ban? Samsung. Samsung factories are outside of China. Huawei has been closing in to Samsung as the number 2 in world market share. With Huawei's inhibited, Samsung gains a free reign on flagship Android. And right on cue, S20 ultra, starting at $1399.
Seriously, if you're looking for a flagship Android, Samsung has near zero competition right now thanks to the Huawei ban. LG, Sony, all have been reduced to small market players.
