Now the Mate 30 Pro also got people install Google Play Store on it despite there is no default Google Play Store

So what's the issue with the Mate X without Google Play Store? Don't know how to install yourself?

it's not about the play store only, can you ensure Google Mobile Services is installed and updated properly?

I don't know what's up with you and your smug attitude, I'm simply saying that it may present an issue for some who simply want a good stock experience out of the box. Yes, aware that there have been pics of M30 with Android installed, but again, this requires some work for users to get working right since OS installed is, as I understand it, a developers' Android OS which Huawei can use to bypass the ban. What happens if the US govt insists that Google close off this loophole, or any other loopholes in the future? I don't want to buy a phone that has 'iffy' support now, with a rather hazy future....

The Problem with this from my few experience with Xiaomi. We can easily sideload Google services, but i believe some security framework will not work.

I.e certain Bank application, you can install the APK login using the standard 2FA but for finger print and facial. You cant.

And i remember for android pay, it also not working.

That was what push me back to those. Approve devices.

Anyone on starhub knows if the numbershare thing will work with galaxy fold esim? Been asking them for esim for the fold they keep saying cannot. But I see numbershare shows they will give a qr code to scan maybe that will work? Anyone with numbershare esim can help try see if it works?

If you mean eSIM for phone definitely can. But only for M1 since M1 is the only telco which offers eSIM

Number share is for Apple Watch so cannot. Apple Watch and phone eSIM is different
