In mid-May 2019, the US government put Huawei and its 70 affiliates on a "black list", banning all purchases from companies in the US for alleged involvement in infringing activities. US national security, an accusation that Huawei has repeatedly denied.
After the ban was issued, a series of US technology companies had to reconsider their cooperation with Huawei for fear of sanctions by the US government, including Google, when the "search giant" said. discontinued cooperation with Huawei in providing Android platform to Chinese technology firm, which means it will not support Huawei to develop Android platform, release patches or stop providing services of Huawei (YouTube, Gmail, Maps ...) on Huawei smartphones.
In fact, Huawei can still continue to use an open source version of Android (instead of the Android version developed and provided by Google) for its smartphones, because this is a free version so do not violate US government ban. However, Huawei is not allowed to integrate Google’s applications and services and this version of Android is not licensed by Google.
The failure to install Google apps and services does not affect Huawei’s sales in the domestic market because China has long banned Google services, but will cause users in the markets. Other considerations must be taken before choosing Huawei products, especially in demanding markets like Europe or the US, when Google services are essential for users here.
In the current context, analysts predict that Huawei will have to "go into the water" and find ways to compromise to be able to cooperate with Google again to make its smartphone more perfect. However, a rather unexpected move when Huawei seems to have determined to "stop" with Google.
DerStandard newspaper (Austria) quoted Fred Wangfei, Huawei branch manager in Austria, affirmed that even if the US government embargo against Huawei is lifted, Huawei will not integrate and use applications. , Google’s service on its new smartphone.
This move by Huawei seems to show more of its independence, reducing its dependence on Google to avoid facing the same situation again in the future. It seems Huawei recognizes that Google has not taken the necessary measures to support Huawei (a major Google partner) in difficult times, so Huawei does not want to be too dependent on Google.
Huawei is currently the second largest smartphone company in the world in terms of sales and its smartphone models are still using Google’s Android platform. Huawei’s future smartphones will have to use a separate variant of the Android platform or use the Huawei-developed Harmony OS mobile platform.
Huawei is still considering the Harmony OS platform as an alternative to the Android platform on its smartphones, but Harmony OS can completely replace Android, especially when Android has taken years. gained ground today and owns a huge app store as well as a large number of app developers.
In addition to the Harmony OS platform, Huawei is also working with many other technology companies to build alternative services for Google services, such as map apps or email.
Earlier in late November, Huawei’s founder and Chairman Ren Zhengfei confidently declared that the Chinese technology company could "live well" without Google , and set out its ambition to become a company. The world’s number one smartphone in sales. It seems that Nham Phi Phi is completely based on his confident statement, especially when Huawei is now looking for solutions to replace Google services on its products.
