Does it make sense to buy a huawei cell phone? - 1

Because huawei no longer has the play store, are all the apps on the app store like in the play store? Does the new huawei mobile phone have google maps? Or is there a good alternative? Does it google?

Google maps is just one of the countless providers

I actually don't think it makes any sense. It generally has no google. No google maps, nothing. All Google services are blocked. And Google services are everywhere. There are alternatives for everything, but they are often bad, e.g. The Huawei App Store. I have an Honor 8X myself and still have the Google services there, and with the Huawei App Store I always have the feeling that countless viruses come along with every app I download.

Whether it makes sense remains to be seen. Since it does not have a licensed Android, updates are such a thing and usually take much longer than with the competition.

Since Android is not licensed, there are again no Google services and can't be installed later.

Rather less. It will be difficult without Google services.

That's a bit paranoid. Huawei Appgallery is still Huawei's official app store, imagine there were viruses on it. But there are also F-Droid and Aurora as good alternatives

You have to know if it makes sense for you. For most apps there are alternatives, some of which are even better and open source.

Examples: Instead of Youtube NewPipe, instead of PlayStore Aurora and F-Droid, instead of Google Maps Osmand.
