New smartphones from Huawei: irrelevant versions of software and software for China
The trade war between China and the United States has led Huawei to no longer install Google apps on its smartphones. The first devices in which this will appear should be available soon.
Huawei’s new smartphones are about to hit the market, and ordinary users still don’t understand how they can do without standard Google apps.
It’s difficult to live without Google Mobile Services (GMS) - a package of applications that are necessary for most services and third-party programs of the Android operating system to work, - noted on the ANDROIDPOLICE website.
The first smartphone that was released after the ban is the Honor 9x Pro. At the moment, the device is supplied only to the domestic market of China. GMS are not preinstalled on it, and since the gadget is not added to the list of certified Google, even some manually installed functions may still not work. Honor 9x Pro has no contactless payment.
In this case, you will need either an application store or software unique to China. You can also use alternative services, for example, APK Mirror, Amazon Appstore, Aurora Store.
It should be noted that Honor 9x and Mate 30 Pro smartphones were also tested as an experiment. Users found testing gadgets a failure, because in the modern rhythm of life it is impossible to use a smartphone that does not support so many important functions.
