03 February 2021
Users have to resort to third-party app distributors like CoolAPK or APKPure.

YUKI93, 03 Feb 2021If there is support for it, I see no problem with that. The... moreNo bud, a lot of people buys these phones. why? as the article says...its way cheaper to buy it from china. i myself bought the chinese version redmi note 7. It had chinese rom so i flashed it to pixel rom and boom, it became perfectly usable (using the crap out of it for 2 years now and it still hasnt slowed down a bit)

      There are plenty of ROMs for Xiaomi phones, and many of which are AOSP based so no worries for those who are after the convenience of Google services

        This will kill the gray market sellers, who buy from china since they are cheaper, import and then sell locally. Good move.

          Anonymous, 03 Feb 2021Hypocrisy at it's finest. Google is banned in China an... moreAndroid is open source and free,anyone can make use of it..

            what will happen with my mi 10 ultra?
            i already installed GMS for months.
            will it be deleted by the system after next miui updates?

              Xiaomi is the clown of 2021

                Umm i don't think this post is correct. The removal of Google services are only on the midrange or budget China Xiaomi phones (Redmi K30 Ultra, Redmi 10X 5G), it won't affect phones with Snapdragon 8xx chipsets (Mi 10 Ultra, Mi 11 etc)

                    So is Mi 10 ultra included? I'm in deep shit if that's true. The reason why I chose Mi 10 ultra instead of huawei p series was because of gms.

                      It look like after MiUi 12.5 for chinese exclusive phones

                      u can't install GMS

                      so buying phones with lower than 12.5 version like miui 12
                      there is no problem

                      new phones that comes with 12.5 & next versions like miui 13, GMS stop on them

                      in article they said outside of china or with Vpn, u can install GMS...using vpn for long time will drain ur battery so fast, will make the battery to heat more than normal

                      so this is the beginning of a long story
                      the end of it....is
                      xiaomi will have same situation like huawei
                      & this problem will affect all models soon

                      even will include brands like OPPO/VIVO in future soon

                              Google should retaliate by pull GMS & Playstore out of all Xiaomi phone, Biden should stop Snapdragon & Mediatek from supplying chips to Xiaomi, kill them off like Huawei.
                              Xiaomi dead is Final Destination.

                                Anonymous, 03 Feb 2021They need time to hide the spyware in the code.If that was the case Europe would've banned it by now. EU is not like 3rd world countries to allow anything to enter the market without observations.

                                  Anonymous, 03 Feb 2021Android is Google owned, troll.I don't think you even understand what "open source" means, let alone knowing what's GPL license is! Go search for it, figure it out and get to know how and why countries like Russia, China, Iran, N.Korea etc.. (what U.S considers 'enemies') can use Linux freely while they can't use Windows OS officially and it's the same thing when it comes to AOSP vs Google's Android version.

                                  For your info, Android wasn't even Google's creation in the first place, they bought it and developed it to the point where it is now thanks to Linux kernel which without it Android wouldn't be possible.

                                    YUKI93, 03 Feb 2021Maybe that is why we always tend to see some Xiaomi phones ... moreThey need time to hide the spyware in the code.

                                      Anonymous, 03 Feb 2021That’s the point People could easily get the chinese versi... moreActually if a phone is have CN and global version,it is not affected....
                                      Only those CN only phone have problem

                                        That's exactly what I always do. Install a custom ROM (after warranty expires), then live a life without that malware called GMS.
