Can Huawei Survive Without Google?

[@Poootie]

I think Android users who are locked into GMS is no different from IOS users who are locked into iCloud and Apple services. We just fail to see it. I for one, am glad that Huawei never stops building. They're not the least bit distracted or interested in what the US administration is doing, in fact, 6G is already in development in China from some articles I've read. I'm most looking forward to HarmonyOS - Their future ecosystem that is compatible with both google apps and IOS apps and is expected to run both ecosystems seamlessly into one. Not even Apple or Google at this point has thought that far. Because everyone is just so distracted by competition and losing their primary vision. Alternatives are good. Variety is good. And I'm fortunate enough in my region in southeast Asia, to have almost every brand of smartphone in our stores - with or without contract.

[@vangcruz4442]

@@sivecruze1247 yes! So does other Brands of computers too. It doesn't matter the car's brand, it runs on Gasoline, diesel, natural gas, water, hydrogen or Electric. You just have to do some modification. People are Brained wash to think that only Google is the way to go. Spain was a world power once, so was Italy, Greece, France, England. Just because you are the current world super power does not means you will be in the future. With all the rage with Electric cars now does not mean it will be the dominant one in the future. I still think it will be hydrogen. Why? Because no Giant Company is attacking electric car like they are with Hydrogen cars.

Huawei is basically the new Apple because they have their own ecosystem that, at this moment, still exclusive to their own devices, but with that in mind it's almost as seamless as Apple devices at this point. Also, several brands (BBK, OPPO, Vivo, OnePlus, iQOO, RealMe) are basically founded by the same person so those are a single ecosystem as well, though only for accessories (say, they share the same quick charge technology).

[@dragon2knight]

Great video! I remember back at the beginning of Google services on Android. They actually had some competition from obscure services that offered competing app stores. They weren't all that good, but it was at least a choice. Amazon, as you mentioned, also thought they could do at least a good enough job to steer some profits to them instead of Google. Now one thing they all have(had) in common was they did use Googles base apps like Mail and Docs, so it wasn't all that bad to try out someone else because you still get the basics.....but I agree we all need an alternative here. Putting all your eggs in one basket is a really bad idea in the long term. Glad to see a company big enough to do this despite the fact they were forced to. We (the US) aren't the only game in town, there's a big world out there that makes us look pathetic sales wise and Huawei will still win that market over.

I have been utilizing Google for many years. But being forced to choose, I'm going with Huawei. If Googel services isn't easily useable on my new Huawei P40, I won't bother with installing Google Play. I just find other applications. When I next buy a tablet, probably Huawei Matepad with 5G, I may not have Netflix and KZbin anymore. If you force me to choose, I will always go for the other side!

The main concern with Huawei smartphones: 1.) It doesn’t have Google Services 2.) The flagship hardware is as par as IPhone/Samsung but much more expensive 3.) The marketing is very aggressive yet so bland

Recently bought a huawei Y5P model. I could clearly seen how Google stop Huawei from using everything under its platform. KZbin , google maps , google translate and you name it. I can't even sign in using my google account. It is a total different world there. Not to mention whatsapp facebook all left blank. Luckily Im able to download the apk from PC, save the apps inside the SD card then install into the phone and it still works! only a bit awkward though.

Whatever product that has a potential 1B customers (locally) back it up, it would succeed. Developers would be diving in for development.

Love the video, just bought the p40 pro. Not put off by apps. I don’t rely on google and see this issue as a positive challenge to resolve. We need alternatives to the big boys. Keep up the great work.

Besides plenty of ways to get some of the apps that are not available in the AppGallery - e.g. www.apkmirror.com

Hey Michael, I've been a somewhat passive viewer of you channel for a while but after this video, I definitely have to subscribe to the channel. Your thoughts are well articulated and truly valid. Please keep up the good work. We absolutely appreciate your open, direct and thoughtful insight. Someone had to say it. 👍🏽

Sony Xperia and Samsung Galaxy are the best for me👌😎👍🇵🇭💯

[@feliciantilya9647]

Great Video. This is why I still think that it is wise for Samsung to revisit its plan to have their own OS. You can make a review on that, to see what they did, where they reached, and why or how or where they fail. I think it will a great review so long as competition always brings improvement in the quality of services and products being offered rather than a monopoly where people don't have freedom of choice. Currently, the smartphone world is dominated by DUOPOLY, where a client can either choose iOS or GMS which isn't healthy in the service industry when considering the welfare of clients.

I was so happy with my P20 Pro. I've been using it for almost 2 years. Then this happened, so last year I decided to switch... to Apple lol ^_^ I agree with the points that you made in this video. I love Huawei so much! The hardware is fantastic. I was just so concerned with the usability back then.

[@QuinchGaming]

I hope they can, and believe they will survive. It's over to them to build an independent, yet easy to use and familiar looking OS and ecosystem, this unfortunately will take some time. Not because they lack software, but because it takes time for key players to adopt. Take Google Pay as a KEY feature, how long can it take for Huawei to get a system up and running similar to Google/Apple Pay? Not very long, but it will take quite a while for banks, retailers and other key players to adopt it. This is what I'm waiting for.

[@Adventures_EC]

well said totally agree

[@bludamon]

The primary concern that I have is still security, and this debatable fact has made me stick to using Korean phones all these while. I really hope that I can have more choices for my next phone. Thanks Michael for doing this meaningful video! 👍👍👍

[@DRPL766]

They can for sure survive without Google Always good to have competition

[@marilinpuig8562]

I would buy the P40 Pro Plus when it comes out, but with no support in the USA, I will pass. I have a Mate 20X and get no updates, otherwise, I love the phone.

[@athuladwaith482]

Man.. that was awsome. Simply no words to describe

[@izalyusuf]

Can you do a review on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite?

[@hoshbenben1152]

Excellent video. Eye-opening content

[@jackchuah4183]

Good point, as USA is kinda crazy now they can ban anything anytime, today is huawei tomorrow might be Samsung depend on which compang growing faster than USA expected. Samsung also doing alternative years ago, like bixby, Samsung store etc.
