I think the question should be: Will the rest of the world move along with China, or they prefer to stay with Google? Yes, China can easily have their home-made OS and apps, but how ready are the rest of the world to embrace their home-made OS and apps? Dropping Google services entirely can be very drastic for lots of users around the globe. I bet consumers will rather switch to another brand, then staying with Huawei. Just my 2 cents.

That being said, I'm an existing P20 Pro user. I'm glad that Google services will continue to function, as of now. I dunno if Trump will order Google to make the kill switch for Huawei phones totally including app updates. That will be very bad.

I think if Trump do that, he will be crazy. If all China join forces on the next mobile OS, I think google is jialat. China beidou GPS can fight typical US GPS also.

They must not forget the power of Chinese.

The ban seems hilariously arbitrary, people should still hold onto their Huawei handsets because for all you know Trump could lift it in 2 weeks once China starts retaliating (and you know they will. Halting all Apple production, for a start?)

That's a disingenuous statement. Any other phone that got blackballed by Google would have the same issue. It's still early days so we don't know how the situation will play out yet. Will the US lift the ruling in 3 weeks? Will Huawei actually fork Android? Will your Mi Max be even worth a hundred dollars?

who knows.

lets see what are the inconveniences without Google services.

NFC can only be used on transferring files between phones but not on payment/transport
solution:
use physical cards.

banking/telco apps cannot be used.
solution:
log on respective bank/telco sites for IB/view your accounts.

social apps without notification.
solution:
just go into the app to trigger the notification. forgot can WhatsApp be used.

no solution at all/good game:
no major OS update.
no food ordering/book PHV.
no more update for all the apps though there are apps that can function without update. unless it totally cannot be used anymore, that I'm not sure. need enlightenment

for those who are attracted to the camera/phone ergonomics & design, you can just carry on using the phone like I do. only consolations:
Google services no more in the background
better battery life

LOL you might as well throw your phone and use computer instead. The whole point of apps is to circumvent browsers.

Ignore the lowballers, they’re just here for the laughs. Current owners should just hold onto the phone IMHO. It works just fine no? That’s partly why this thread is so quiet lol.

Are people actually selling the phone for $750? That’s nuts, a 50% price drop in 2 months. The situation is a little crazy right now and this would be the absolute worst time to sell the phone.

I got my p30 for $600. Which was a good deal. Thanks to Donald Trump.

actually during the initial stage of Android, most users also self load custom firmwares and apks because the manufacturer took ages to update their official firmware. the most we just do that again.

i went for p30 because i couldn't find a phone in the market that has good camera and retaining the 3.5mm port.
