That's not true, all Huawei smartphones are still running on the Android operating system

That is not completly correct. As expected, the Google Services will run on the P Smart 2019 because this conflict between the US and China did not exist before. This "prohibition" applies only to the devices that come later in the market. Later, Huawei responded and said that the new equipment was not affected.

There's no reason to worry

In May, Trump banned transactions between Huawei (and subsidiary companies like Honor) and American companies. These include e.g. Google with Android, Intel, Qualcomm and Microsoft (Windows for laptops). ARM has also withdrawn despite its headquarters in the United Kingdom, because some is also developed in the United States. Therefore, they can't develop new processors.

Until August there's still a grace period, in which the trade is still allowed. At the G20 summit Trump reversed this orally. I did not read any contractual news.

Now the important thing for you: For already released devices like the P Smart 2019 there should be no restrictions, even if that does not matter.

So there are still Android security updates and probably also Android Q. You can still use the Play Store. You can also use American apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Snapchat without any problems.
