What do you need Google Play for?

Can you still buy Huawei phones?

Yes, you can still buy Huawei cell phones, but they no longer have Google services, but Huawei's own.

Google maps is blocked?

Yes, you just don't have Google services. I don't know whether you can download Google Maps or something, I'm not a Huawei user.

Not only do they not have Google Play, they have no Google service at all. This also includes Google Maps e.g.

I would recommend Xiaomi phones to you. They are available in every price range, have Google services and are very good.

Have a Huawei smartphone myself and got all the apps working. Also Google Maps, all games, banking… And of course you can buy them, especially at unbeatable price / performance ratios.

I bought a Huawei last year and can also use Google including Maps.
