Is it true that current Huawei smartphones no longer have a Google Playstore on it?

And why not?

I read in customer reviews of current Huawei smartphones that they no longer have a Google Playstore on them. Are all Huawei affected? And why do they still have Android as their operating system?

Yes but only the newer models

You can also use Android as such, the Play Services are optional

Yes that's true. No Play Store, no Google, no YouTube etc. It also affects all newer devices.

Android can be used by everyone and that even without licenses, it is open source.

Yes, you read that right, but if you really want to have the playstore, you have to download it from the internet as an apk. Then you can normally use all apps from there.

Yup that's right.

Trump has forbidden to have business relationships with Huaweizu and since Google is an American company, Google has to stick to it 🤷🏻
