Is it still worthwhile to buy a Huawei smartphone?

Given the American embargo, how safe would it be to buy a Huawei smartphone that is still in stock? Would there be problems with apps, access to Google, and procurement of SD cards? Could you be really sure to use such a device for 5 years without problems?

So I would leave it in your place, because the situation is much too uncertain. A Huawei was also on the list of my potential new cell phones, but because of all the stuff that happened, I prefer…

Good that the question has not been asked here today, or in general.

Thank you for your opinion!

The phones that are already on sale, there are no problems, but probably no versions updates but only security updates.

To use an Android 5 years is borderline even if it is not a Huawei, the Android version is one way or the other obsolete.

Huawei promises that all previously sold smartphones can still use all Google Apps and Android as usual, only a promise is no guarantee.

We assure that with HUAWEI smartphones and tablets you will be able to download and use Android Services and Google Apps as usual after resetting to factory settings.

All HUAWEI smartphones and tablets that have already been sold, are currently sold or in stock, apps like Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram can be used or downloaded as normal.

HUAWEI smartphones and tablets that have been sold, are currently on sale or in stock will continue to receive security and software updates

The new Huawei smartphones will no longer be able to use Google Playstore, not Google Apps

This is not quite correct. Huawei has just lost the Google license, so the GApps are no longer preinstalled.

But nobody prevents a buyer from installing them later.

However, this is likely to be more of a solution for freaks and not for the masses of users.
No Android updates for existing devices?
Huawei loses Android license

Unclear, however, is the situation for further system updates on devices already on the market. This includes security updates. For new smartphones https://www.teltarif.de/h/huawei/ would completely dispense with Google services and could only install the open source version of Android. However, users would not only have to do without the Google apps, but also the Google Play services, which require many applications, even if they were downloaded from alternative AppStores or directly from the manufacturer's website.

"In theory, it would be possible for customers to install the Google services themselves, such as the https://www.teltarif.de/handy/betriebssysteme/blackberry-10.html a few years ago, where Android support officially came without Google services, and tech-savvy users - including the Play Store - added it later However, that should be more of a solution for freaks and not for the masses of users.

The GApps can even be easily installed from Chinese app stores.

So it's not really rocket science.
