Huawei sanctions, what else can I use?

Huawei and its subsidiary Honor have been hit hard by US government sanctions. Now finally it will probably come so far the new huawei, honor devices without Android operating system run which means no Google play etc.

But what about the users like me who already own a Huawei or Honor smartphone? Can you continue to use services like Google play, chrome, YouTube etc? Or do the sanctions only affect the devices that are still in the shop counter and have not been sold?

The new devices can still use Android. Is then only an open source version without Google Play, Chrome, YouTube and other Google services.

This will definitely affect the new devices (which are yet to be manufactured). Whether it comes perhaps by update on old devices is still unclear (very likely but not).

What does open source version mean? So I no longer have access to Youtube and co? Does it affect my huawei which I already own?

So in the Prinziep you can already manually install Android without Google and then manually install Googledienste subsequently, for me it is very questionable whether these sanctions affect the end user even in the least, probably in the future all Huawei and Honorgeräte with Stock Android to be had, so completely without any pre-installed bloat.

If so, it would be even better.

With the open source version you no longer have access to Google services. So that means you do not have Chrome, no YouTube, no PlayStore, and more.

As far as I know, it does not affect old devices. Only the new ones that are just made and directly installed the open source version.

Anyone who already has a Huawei is not affected. New customers do not get the latest Android version, but a slightly older one. Otherwise, not much will change

How many users are we talking about manually installing an Android from 0.0001%? At times many apps will not work, as many libraries are missing in Open Source Android.

Can you do everything without much effort.

I even have the Playstore and all Google Apps on my Amazon Fire.

You have then if only the Playstore nachinstalliert, but no open source Android and then you have compiled yourself. You would have to do that if Huawei preinstalled his own OS.

You mean that it is not preinstalled anymore. You still get access to it if you install the GApps.

Huawei OS is also based on Android, so that's not necessary. You install the Google services and then Playstore and Co. And even if it needed a workaround, it would be ready within a few weeks.
