Huawei on smartphones: consumer scores are currently betting on the purchase

The subject of Huawei and Android is and remains the biggest tumult. For Huawei home appliance owners, this means first and foremost one thing: an uncertainty as to what will happen next. Anyone currently looking for a smartphone has a much easier room and should wait – in any case, consumer scores.

Huawei's smartphones and sister brand Honor are extremely popular, the Chinese group has become the world's number two in recent years. But there has been a mbadive setback since US President Trump made Huawei the center of his trade war with China. This has various effects, including the exclusion of the Android business branch.

Consumers such as the Austrian Association for Consumer Information (VKI), like their readers, have a lot of difficulties here. Because, as the VKI writes, "it lacks strong evidence so far" that Huawei could help or help the Chinese government to spy on (especially on emerging 5G networks).

Consumers concerned

The actions of US President Trump "could now reunite not only the group and the Chinese economy, but indirectly all the owners of a Huawei or Honor smartphone," said the VKI (via the standard). Consumers are therefore of the opinion that a "new purchase is not currently advisable".

Anyone who decides to buy a Huawei smartphone must know that there may be future restrictions on updates. The VKI continues: "On the new models of the Huawei plant, there will eventually be a break. At an unknown time (perhaps in the autumn of 2019), Huawei then becomes his, based on the Android version of the operating system available for free but all Google services and access to the Play-Store are missing. "

The second option: "The other options for the purchase of a smartphone are obviously the choice of another manufacturer or the wait, because the US measures against a large company will probably not stay. without reaction from China in the long run. " Trump's unpredictable leap Without talking about the government. "

No return request

There is no claim for the return of a Huawei smartphone because of sanction measures. The statements of the VKI refer to Austria, but in Germany and other European countries, it will certainly not be different: "To the extent of current estimates, customers can continue to use Huawei smartphones in their entirety and they will also receive security updates and smartphone owners will probably have no legal right to return Huawei devices.
