As you may have read in many places, Huawei is not allowed to use Google Mobile Services on its latest devices. In practice, this means that, although the devices are running Android, because it is open source, anyone can use it, but the most popular official Google apps will not work. You won't find the Play Store itself, Gmail, YouTube, Chrome, Drive, etc. These are replaced with their own apps, for example on the recently released P40 Pro. This is not a big problem in China, but it is in European countries.
Az okostelefon-gyártók egyébként is szoktak trollkodni, viccelődni egymással, rávilágítani egymás készülékeinek hibáira. Ezt tette meg most a Xiaomi is, aki a legújabb Mi 10 Pro telefonjának dobozára a következő feliratot helyezte el: “with easy access to the Google apps you use most”, vagyis egyszerű hozzáféréssel a legtöbbet használt Google alkalmazásokhoz”, ezzel borsot törve a Huawei orra alá, hogy ő bizony használhatja azokat.
This kind of humour has only been afforded by 3 flagship manufacturers, Samsung, Huawei and Apple, but now Xiaomi has long since entered the premium segment and thought its time had come.
The Mi 10 Pro and the P40 Pro come to Europe at the same price of €1,000, the question is whether Huawei can compensate for this kind of disadvantage.
Would you buy a phone without Google apps?
