What happens to my Huawei Mate 20 Pro, is there no more Playstore support?

Dr

No, but you probably will not get Android 10 anymore

Dr

My Sony Xperia XZ3 will surely get Android 10

av

Ne Sony does not produce properly anymore I hardly think that you still get an update if even the Huawei giant does not get one, Sony gets none at all.

Dr

Lol

Of course I get the update. 100%.

Sony does not operate a spy like Huawei and will not be banned.

av

Hmm ok I did not know that next time I will consider the purchase of a new smartphone, thank you!

Ce

New devices may no longer be delivered with the playstore. Existing devices have been delayed for 90 days. What happens after that we will see.

av

So I should buy in the 90 days s.besten another Android smartphone which has no stress with Playstore… What do you mean?

Ce

No, wait what happens. When the US puts Huawei on the list, China puts Apple on the list.

In the end, they somehow agree.

av

JAWOHL main thing is no APPLE.

So on the one hand, none of it is occupied, on the other hand, what has Sony to do with Huawei? Sony is a Japanese company, not Chinese…

Dr

I just wanted to point out to him that my phone gets an update and not his

Li

Very helpful

Dr

I think so. After all, he has asked what is different about his phone because of the loss of the Android license. Just wanted to give him an example of what it looks like with Android license.

Li

Google will no longer license Huawei devices but your store will of course stay, only new devices will not get GApps anymore.

Android itself is mostly copyleft and runs under GPL license, parts also under Apache, it is developed by the OHA and is actually freely accessible (except for proprietary code like the GApps), but licensed subscribers get much earlier access to the software and can customize them for their devices. The fact that manufacturers sell unlicensed devices is perfectly normal in the Chinese market, if you need it you then rootet your device and load the GApps across (usually you do with import, the Chinese often use their own appstores and programs).

Incidentally, the difficulty for Huawei is that they do not have access to the latest iteration via AOSP, v. A. This is because they have security patches and the like. Now you have to develop yourself.

Nothing changes for you at first.
