Great hardware but poor software. Missing GMS is the biggest downside of this device.

Yeah read this morning - Huawei has announced a new flagship series of phones in its latest attempt to use top-of-the-line specs and cameras to lure Western customers to its Google-free ecosystem.

No GMS hence will not be able to use Google Pay? Even with HMS and sideload also cannot right?
Nope not able to use Google Pay, the device needs to be certified by Google.

Yeah,without Google certification GPay will never ever work, 100%. You can sideload most of the missing Google apps so that isn't a concern.oh also no Widevine certification, so Netflix doesn't run in HD. Just too many issues for me to bother with. Not like no other Android phone to choose from. It's unfortunate the orange fool has handicapped Huawei this way, but hey, that's not my problem.

Not to you but many are using. That’s the reality. Got to find a solution to this in order for more ppl to use back HW.

Huawei is not for you then.. Those people not using Google apps should have no problem..

Good for you then, this phone is ideal for your use case. I wouldn't make the assumption that Google Pay is unpopular just because you don't use it though.

Using Google apps/services on an Android phone? pfft who does that?
