Huawei has been preparing for the launch of what could be the most powerful phones in the Android ecosystem in a long time. However, there is a latent problem that has not ceased to exist since the brand had problems with the Trump government. We are talking about the new Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro, which could be released without Google applications.
The new Mate 30 will be the phones with the most technology after the folding ones (which are not yet for sale) and will surpass the technologies of Samsung and Applejust like the previous Huawei P30 and P30 Pro did.The problem with all this technology is that it could reach the market without such necessary applications as Google Maps, Google Play or the same email client, Gmail.
Huawei has not reached an agreement with the United States
Huawei is China's flagship brand, the fundamental pillar for the United States to squeeze its government in that tariff and trade war in which both are involved. That is why the company remains on the famous blacklist that prohibits companies in the United States from selling products or services under this Chinese brand This directly affects several sections, but it could even determine a serious problem when it comes to relating to companies such as Google and Huawei, making it impossible for the Android of the latter to be adopted by the Chinese brand.
At the moment, pending its official release, Huawei could only use the open source Android, a version of Android that is not and Google Play, no Google Maps, no Google Photos, no Gmail and other major apps like Google Pay.It would be a hard blow for the brand, but after months of rumors and a few weeks after its presentation, everything seems to indicate that the problem has not been solved. They report from CNBC.
The Huawei Mate 30 would not have the same updates
This agreement not only affects the field of software and applications, it could also affect the security updates of the operating system. Well AOSP, the free version of Android that they could use without any type of limitation, does not receive security updates quickly, just like those companies that pay for Google's own Android. Nor is it expected that the Huawei Mate 30 will integrate HarmonyOS, which would only be used for other types of devices from the company itself such as smart TVs or home automation devices.
We must clarify that none of this is official. The presentation of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has been set for September 19 in Munich (Germany) and it will be on that day when we will finally know if Huawei and Google have managed to create a bridge that allows them to offer Google's Android or they will have to offer a free EMUI version of Google applications.
Did you get it right? The countdown to HuaweiMate30 starts now!

Could we not use Gmail or Google Play on the Mate 30 if this is confirmed?
In spite of everything, this would not be something new in the Android ecosystem. Huawei could launch its devices for China, where they currently no longer integrate Google's Android, and postpone their launch in Europe until the dispute is resolved. The same thing happened when Xiaomi first launched its phones without Google's Android.
Everything was fixed by using an unofficial application that allowed to install Google services on any phone This is an unofficial process official and not verified by Google but surely Huawei could add indications on the phones so that users could carry it out avoiding too many problems to adapt to this new Android without Google.
