Huawei faces a major hurdle in promoting its next flagship phone, the Huawei Mate 30, which will not be able to be launched with the help of Google apps and services because of the ban by the White House to US companies to do business with China Telecom, according to Reuters.
Huawei received a three-month extension from the US Department of Commerce in May to allow it to benefit from the services and assistance of US companies, including software or modifications, and was extended by 90 days, ending November 19th. This only applies to previously published phones.
This means that the new Huawei Mate 30, due to be unveiled on September 18 in Munich, will not be able to use Google applications such as map applications or publishing tools from the US company.
Designed to operate on the new 5G networks, the Mate 30 is Huawei's first new phone since the US administration of President Donald Trump on a blacklist of Chinese company.
Huawei will launch the phone without Google
Huawei plans to speed up the launch of new high-end smartphones in Europe, although it may not be able to offer Google's official Android operating system and its widely used applications, said company officials in Reuters.
A Google spokesman told Reuters that the Mate 30 could not be sold with Google's licensed applications and services due to the ban on Huawei's sales by the United States.
Google has not stated that it has applied for a license to provide its applications and services, known as Google Mobile Services, although it has stated in the past that it wanted to continue providing services to Huawei, and that US companies could obtain a license to remove their products from the ban.
Reuters announced this week that the US Department of Commerce had received more than 130 applications for approval to sell US products to Huawei, but no request had been granted.
"Huawei will continue to use the Android operating system if the US government allows us, otherwise we will continue to develop our operating system," Huawei spokesman Joe Kelly told Reuters.
