When looking for a mid-range smartphone for around EUR 200 with a good camera, I had almost decided on the Huawei P40 Lite, but found out just in time that new Huawei smartphones are no longer allowed to have Google services.

There are some instructions (which sounded very complicated to me) on how to install the Google services yourself (with the exception of Google Pay), but as I read here, Google has only tolerated this and could block it at any time become…

Should you keep your hands off Huawei smartphones if you don't want to do without the various Google services such as PlayStore, Google Photos, Google Backup / Restore?

Better hands off.

What comparable alternatives to the P40 Lite could there be? Do you have a tip?

Hands off.

And you can't reinstall?

Yes, I would probably manage with the pretty good instructions, only I read https://www.smartdroid.de/google-apps-huawei-anleitung-video/ (had previously forgotten to insert the link) that it could still be blocked by Google at any time…

The easiest thing you could do would be to deviate from Huawei to other manufacturers who have a licensed Android, as well as various Google services.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, Poco X3 NFC

Yes… What a shame!

Was a great manufacturer. Only the USA makes this to create.

In my opinion, there's no way I would do without Huawei. I have a P40 lite myself and use it like any cell phone before, with the small difference, of course, that it is better. You can also download all the various apps from Petalsearch App.

And what about the automatic Google photo backup, the Google backup function for restoring all apps and settings after a reset, or buying a new smartphone? And what about WhatsApp?

Yes, for example, once under Xiaomi
