You mention that a MIUI PM claim they will buy the GMS for the K30 Ultra soon, as someone that's interested in buying it that is very good news, is there anywhere I could read more on this?

      IrfanYXP, 04 Feb 2021Yea only chinese version but idk what happen next are they ... moreHuawei phones launched before GMS ban still have official GMS and Android updates i.e. P30 Pro and Nova 5T, so Redmi 9T will still have GMS if Xiaomi really got banned by Google.

      But the chance of Xiaomi getting ban from GMS is really small because the Biden administration is looking to avoid making a bigger trade war with China. The current ban is only on investment from US companies, not including Google.

        If I have MIUI 12.0 on my Mi 10 Ultra, successfully installed GMS, then MIUI 12.5 is updated to my phone in March 2021, will it remove my GMS ?

            As long as we can still install Playstore from 3rd party, it's fine. But personally, i won't be buying China ROM devices anymore. There are quirks that really irritates me and not being able to use Nova Launcher is one.

              Ad.it.yeah, 03 Feb 2021All companies should do this instead of having a dozen pre-... moreXiaomi isn't doing it because they don't like Google services. It's to crackdown on 3rd party importers and sellers. Majority of people who buy non-GMS Xiaomi phones then put GMS on it are enthusiasts that take the risk of importing from China via a 3rd party because the hardware is better (and cheaper). But grey imports cause all kinds of issues not to mention putting GMS back on a non-GMS MIUI is always buggy. Xiaomi doesn't want to deal with this headache, hence why they are ending support for it.

                Yea only chinese version but idk what happen next are they gonna be like Huawei at some point when all phone cant use gms anymore. I wanna get my sister Redmi 9T so I hope nothing bad happen in 2 years. Another phone u guys can recommend pls Vivo doesn't has good cpu for the price Realme C15 only 720p but those another brand like infinix etc. doesn't sell here in Malaysia...

                    Anonymous, 03 Feb 2021Hypocrisy at it's finest. Google is banned in China an... moreChinese ROM doesn't have official Google framework, so technically it is not owned by Google. And Google can't force Chinese brands to ditch Android, as proven by Huawei can still use Android-based EMUI even after Google ban.

Alternatively there's always 3rd party ROMs. Manufacture has to cater for the mass of general public, not for tech enthusiast that likes to fiddle.

                                  ok, can someone help me understand this article. I have a Redmi K30 chinese phone. nothing flashed, just left chinese rom on it and installed the app store in a different way. Now everything works as it should. Does this article mean that the playstore will disappear with an update? Or will the playstore remain but I can't download anything from the playstore anymore? Or will everything just work as it is now and does this article apply to the phones that do not have the playstore running on them? So am I safe since I have everything running or should I disable the updates just to be sure? thanks.

                                    All companies should do this instead of having a dozen pre-installed Google apps that can't be uninstalled.

                                      So basically only users with more than 2 functioning brain cells will be able to download and use google services
