End of Huawei smartphones?

As some may have read, Trump has banned Huawei in the US, and Google has now revoked Huawei's Android license.

Supposedly, for example, new Huawei devices will no longer have access to the Google Play Store.

Is this the end of Huawei smartphones?

The US is not the navel of the world. Huawei also gets rid of his stuff elsewhere.

I find it interesting that I could not find anything tangible which speaks for the spy allegations.

They basically accuse Huawei of doing that, getting the US intelligence agencies and hardware makers caught. Only it had no consequences for the latter.

However, the world in Europe and Asia has nothing but Google Play and Apple services.

The others are so small and unknown that you can't run an economy there.

That's a huge kick in the testicles. Since Huawei will probably have to develop its own operating system. Apple does not use Android. Only then will they have to develop the same number of apps themselves because US companies will not make them available.

Google has now removed Huawei's Android license.

Supposedly, for example, new Huawei devices will no longer have access to the Google Play Store.

What are you talking about please?

Well, my Huawei has normal access. Seems again only to affect the Americans.

Their protectionist measures are getting really ridiculous. Only because Apple breaks away from the smartphone market.

Dr

No, it affects worldwide. Your device is still working, but you will not get Android updates anymore.

I would get (if it stays that way, which I hardly believe) only no Android 10 anymore. That's all. Security updates continue to come and that's what's important to me. And also Playstore and Google Apps remain fully usable.

Dr

No. You will not get a single Android security patch if everything stays as it is now, which is likely.

De

Huawei has been working on something for a while.

In my eyes, Trump once again shoots the domestic economy in the leg, because Samsung will also see that US companies are no longer reliable partners.

If Huawei and Samsung turn away from Google, it was for Android.

Dr

I understood it like that. The security patches will no longer come from Google and Huawei will not have access to the codes until they are published. So maybe Huawei could somehow patch up the security patches themselves, but I'm not sure!

De

Nonsense.

The security patches are open source and will continue to come.

Otherwise, I would like to have the facts for your claim.

No, the @superhoden is already right.

De

No, he does not have… 😑

Nothing changes for current smartphones.

Au

Well, it is not done with the operating system. It's also a well-filled App Store required. And if the ban is maintained, it is synonymous with its own operating system: No Google Maps, no WhatsApp, no Gmail, no Facebook, no Twitter, no YouTube, etc. I can't imagine that a smartphone with such conditions outside of China Chance has.

Au

But, in that case, the US is the navel of the world. No one outside China buys a smartphone that does not have the popular apps. A smartphone that can't be installed on WhatsApp, Instagram, Youtube, Maps, etc? Never…
