Huawei P and Huawei Mate have been Huawei’s flagship brands for years, and although the company continues to launch new models under the two series, since the Huawei P30 Pro was introduced in March 2019, the company’s flagship devices have not arrived with Google services and the app store due to sanctions. Imposed against it, resulting in a marked drop in model sales in both series. According to the latest report from research firm IDC from the third quarter of 2020, Wawi’s phone shipments experienced an annual decline of 22%.

While Wawi may have considered selling the pair, the company’s work on developing an independent operating system from Google’s, with a suite of services to replace those offered by the US company and an alternative app store as well, does not seem to be a real reason for the Chinese maker to abandon phones. Overwhelmingly.

In addition, anyone holding a Wavy device could see a very strong push from the company to use its various services and the alternative app store App Gallery in the past year, also in devices that arrived before the boycott and along with the Android operating system that includes all Google services and the store. Google Play. And as the company works hard to try and get its existing users to migrate slowly to a new system, it’s hard to believe it’s giving up its phone division so quickly.
