I bought the device today and in general I have to say it's a top cell phone. However, I have noticed that I'm more than a little attached to Google services… Starting with Gmail…
My predecessor was the Huawei P40, but it broke and I got the Huawei p40 … Do you think the whole thing is a matter of getting used to it?
Apps I currently have… WhatsApp, insta, snapchat, that's it. Youtube can unfortunately only be opened via the browser just like Gmail and that f *** t off, just like when you want to download apps you have to install different app stores…
I bought the phone from Media Markt and am considering whether I should give it back, as far as I can… Is that possible?
I would then get the P30 pro… Because 600 euro is too expensive for a device where you can only download half of the apps…
Please help me, I'm in a really bad mood right now. Do not know if this is a bad purchase. Can you give it back or should I keep it?
I can help you there. Before you buy another one, try a few apps.
Youtube: There's the NewPipe app. NewPipe is an open source YouTube interface without advertising and with all the premium features. It is available free of charge from the F-Droid Store. F-Droid is a trustworthy app store that only offers apps that are open source.
Gmail: Simply install an email client, preferably open source, and you have Gmail again.
Google Play Store: If you need apps that are only available in the Google Play Store, download Aurora. That is also in the F-Droid Store and basically an anonymized Google Play Store.
What was your predecessor?
Have you ever tried Huawei's Phone Clone to move apps from the old to the new? Phone Clone must be available in the P40's App Gallery
Ah OK and do I download everything looking for in this app? I don't look through it yet, do you personally like the cell phone?
Basically I like it, but you feel like you used to have to look at different providers for different apps… I think that everything should be included with such a mobile phone or with such a provider.
The predecessor was Huawei p30 and yes I have WhatsApp, insta, snapchat, Paypal over there but Youtube and so doesn't work because it's from Google… So I think with such an expensive mobile phone you should develop a decent app store before you put the phone on the market brings…

Simply download it to your mobile phone. You may have to allow apps to be installed from "unknown" sources first, but don't worry, you can trust everything.
The phone itself is pretty good, I'm more of a Xiaomi fan myself.
OK thanks
You can download an email client for Gmail, I've been using Blue Mail on my devices for ages
I would keep the mobile phone via the Petal serch app you can download all the apps you have listed and as far as Gmail is concerned you can simply log in to the email app already preinstalled by Huawei. I'm completely satisfied with my P40.
