Huawei's latest flagship product, the Mate 30, was officially released a few days ago. This is an impressive material, but its lack of Google services (due to ongoing trade disputes between the US and China) means that it will be a problem. very difficult to sell outside of China. Huawei was hoping to release its grip on the boot loader so buyers could flash a replacement ROM with Google apps, but that will not happen.

Huawei's CEO, Richard Yu, had previously told Android Authority that the company was considering allowing the bootloader to be released for the Mate 30, but a Huawei spokesperson later said that it would not 39, had "no plans". Plans can always change, but it seems that unlocking will not happen anytime soon.

Of course, you do not need to unlock the boot loader and flash a custom ROM for Google Play services to load autonomously. the Play Store can be installed on Amazon Fire tablets and other devices without changing the operating system in stock. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone at XDA makes it work.
