That's not being helpful honestly. Ppl are trying to find solution or alternatives to the google apps. If there are ways to still use them, more ppl would want to give it a try. Not simply just brush off with "not the phone for you then".
The apps aren't the problem here, you can sideload most of them. Banking apps may break occasionally, if they work at all (due to missing certification), but it's something you just need to come to terms with before putting down the cash for a Huawei device without GMS. Most video apps won't be running optimally because the P40 only has basic Widevine L3 support meaning stuff like Netflix runs in SD. Which is a crying shame considering the P40's improved display panel. And of course, Google Pay.
Just like yhw22, GPay is so integral to my daily life that there is absolutely no way I'd ever go back. Dash
kind of works similarly but you need to top up your wallet manually, plus why let yet another company have your credit card info?
there's just no way Huawei phones post-Trump are going to fit into my lifestyle. There's just no way I can get around the lack of missing certification leading to so much feature omission that you'd take for granted, even in a budget handset. I've got nothing but love for my P30p and I could easily use this phone for another 6 months but when I look at the newer Huawei phones all I see are handsets ruined by American meddling.
Alternatives? Xiaomi, LG, Oppo, the Pixel. Hell even Samsung if you're okay with their Exynos BS. I just can't f with the newer Huawei stuff.
