Will xiaomi and all the other China companies be blocked by Google?

I've been thinking about getting a xiaomi phone, but since google has blocked huawei now, is it going to hit xiaomi too or not?

Ti

Possible.

Personally, I'm assuming a new operating system. Huawei has already developed one, which will probably be used soon.

It is then probable that other Chinese manufacturers will follow suit. Which is nothing bad for now.

Since Hyundai got a temporary license and is expected to follow Google, I think you do not have to worry about it anyway.

But it was expressly only Hyundai who were affected by the ban, not Vivo, OnePlus, Lenovo, Xiaomi, etc

Ti

I do not think he wants to buy a car…

Cr

LOL, yes, Huawei…

Ka

I would also like to have such a cheap car

Ka

Um, yes, new system, possibly new programming language, new apps, you will not be able to use apk apps

No, that is completely unlikely.

Why should Xiaomi, OnePlus, etc. Use an Huawei operating system without apps instead of Android?

Apart from that, members of the Open Handset Alliance are not allowed to make devices that are not compatible with Android.

Ti

Xiaomi and OnePlus are not members of the OHA. Huawei has now been banned from using Google services. Huawei will leave there.

With the senseless trade war of Trump one must count on that China clearly defends itself.

Dr

Since Xiaomi and OnePlus also use modified Android, they are pretty safe in the OHA, as I understand it. But it actually does not matter.

That Huawei in China comes with its own software is quite likely. But this software has no chance at all in the global market without the support of app developers.

Ti

Xiaomi and OnePlus are definitely not in the OHA. Just read.

Huawei already has its own operating system and support in the largest smartphone market in the world.

The only question is if they sit out now until the orange troll is gone, or if they pull it off. I would welcome another operating system.

The dispute over Huawei is already very specific, they produce network technology and thus make a direct competitor to the American companies such as Cisco, and they are also still leading there.

For the Americans, awarding contracts to Huawei would not only be financially detrimental, it also harms them from a telecommunications point of view, as they demonstrably block backdoors.

Xiaomi, Oppo, Oneplus, Vivo & Co. Do not really care about that.

Li

The Chinese market is the largest growth market for smartphones, followed by the Indian, which also massively relied on Chinese companies.

Many Chinese smartphones have not been licensed in the past, as Europeans you have to rooten then always for the GApps. The Chinese have their own shops, games, streaming services, messengers, marketplaces and social media (and some of them are bigger than the US giants we know).

Well, maybe the chances are limited in North America and Europe, but the rest of the world is pretty big…

And no OnePlus and Xiaomi are not in the OHA, no one also says that apps would not be compatible, even Huawei will probably use AOSP, just not OHA derivative but something own.

Dr

What changes when Trump is gone?

Almost nobody in the US has Huawei phones, and the CIA has recently claimed that it has evidence that Huawei was sponsored by the Chinese military.

A new president would probably not change the situation.

Li

What US is doing now is dangerous and can permanently jeopardize the market power of some of its largest companies. Huawei is not ZTE and the People's Republic is still a dictatorship.

If tomorrow it were regulated that only royalty-free AOSP operating systems would be allowed on mobile devices, then that would mean for Google that they would almost certainly have to give up large parts of the Asian market in the medium term (only 40% of all people live in China and India alone) People). And what do you think how many developers would still use DX if China blocks access to their market (that would be the wet dream of many Linux users).

Technologically, this would even be very possible via Via, China is the only country besides the US, which holds x86 licenses, with TSMC next Samsung and Intel has the largest semiconductor producers and purely monetary the third largest (singles) market in the world, which they quasi after You can regulate yourself and have significantly more growth potential than the US or the European.

I can't imagine that a sensible president blindly would take such risks, China certainly has no interest in an escalation but represent a very large potential for danger.
