    I think after the launch of hormonyOS Google have yo worry about that because maybe others Chinese brands can use that and who need cheap prices mobiltelefon they can buy that brands like India, chains pakistan Bangladesh and others Asian countries and they have 70 percent of world population. Its mean Google will lose 50 percent of users and then all of femmes app will be make applications for huawei. Because after the ban of huawei the other companies will think about that maybe in futurethey got ban.

    . Its like a past saymbian for nokia that time nokia did not want to shift on andriod and they loss 😢, now same time just people need Google because of YouTube but if huawei launch same platform like YouTube then Google will be down to earth.

          kek, 25 May 2021Yeah, like that time Huawei said the ban wouldnt stop them ... moreIt's not an Android or iOS rip-off. Those are built on Linux & Java in contrast to Harmony OS are built on All-new rarely heard Microkernel-based operating system. Which in theory will be a leap forward compared to current available any Operating systems.

                They didn't provide any good software support in the past so no trust about future

                  They should honor themselves first. The lie level of this company is blowing out of water.

                    USA should mind their own business, public suggests.

Though with GMS it will be better, I have no problem without, definitely far from worse experience. I understand its not for others. No problem for me, all apps I need are available, so I got nothing to loose.

                      To be honest, I will definitely skip an entry phone with GMS with a entry flagship without GMS.

I got all the apps I need. I have to agree phone with GMS indeed are the better one. But base on my needs, camera are on top & did not dissapoint one bit.

                          The best part? Optimized Super Res algorithm. Easily high quality fusion zooming on 35mm, 50mm up to 70mm without the needs of optical lens while beating others using optical.

                          Those are not on the other phone, I give my hats off to Mi 10 Ultra, but its not available in my country.

I think you were talking about Huawei phones befor... morethey had a potential with p20,mate20 and p30 series. but, they got so hungry after that. since, they lost significant functionality due to lack of GMS, they had to cut prices.
