06 January 2021
This could mean we will see Google services return to the now independent brand.

Whackcar, 06 Jan 2021This is great news. If Honor can produce Huawei-esque phone... morePrices will only stay relevant to the quality of the phone. If it's to compete with the top tier phones it will definitely cost around the same.

    Andreidinutu, 06 Jan 2021America won from the start. There was nothing that changed ... moreThe US economy is wrecked thanks to C-19 and Huawei majority sales in Asia still growing strong! The European market is all but completely, but now that "honor" is FREE from sanctions it will regain it and Huawei CEO hopes honor will be their biggest rival in the future. That said I doubt they will even directly compete now since they have separate markets... UwU

      ispitonyourgravy, 06 Jan 2021Will the new Honor phones be using a new Android skin? I me... moreThey don't use emui at the moment anyway. It's magic UI but almost the same. There's no way they'll have time to make a new OS in time for the next phone anyway. It's already confirmed to be running Magic UI in China.

                  Wow, Honor getting GMS is a big deal. I'd still prefer Kirin chipsets though.

                    ispitonyourgravy, 06 Jan 2021Will the new Honor phones be using a new Android skin? I me... morethe magicUI they are using is basically emui, and I don't think they'll change soon

                      Will the new Honor phones be using a new Android skin? I mean it couldn't possibly be EMUI since Huawei has sold the brand to a Chinese tech company could it?

                        Here's what I think: Huawei and Honor can collaborate to make a phone with the choice of running Google Mobile Services and Huawei Mobile Services. It's a win-win for me.

                          a step in the right direction for Honor

                            This is great news. If Honor can produce Huawei-esque phones, then they have a very bright future. Once they get GMS back, they'll see a surge in sales, provided they keep the prices competitive like the old Honor.
