The Huawei Mate 30 Pro presented by the CEO of Huawei CBG

\n\n\nTHE Huawei Mate 30 Pro is the latest and largest phone from the Chinese smartphone producing giant. Thus, he rises to the same level as the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S10. During the launch, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei CBG, clarified that this phone has its own app store, called AppGallery. This will constitute an apparent alternative to the Google catalog. \n\n\n\nDue to thetrade ban imposed on the Chinese society by the American state, this new smartphone arrives without the applications and Google services. Indeed, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro will therefore not provide access, among other things, to Gmail, Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram or even YouTube. A real blow to Google Play Store. \n\n\n

Its characteristics

\n\n\nDuring the launch event, Richard Yu, CEO of the leader in mobile telephony, did not want to return to the question of Google licensing. He mainly emphasized the characteristics of his new smartphone. Indeed, at the bottom of the screen, no trace of a Google application is visible. "The Huawei App Gallery would be an alternative to Google Play Store specifies the CEO. Better, he also adds that phone store staff would help users obtain applications such as Gmail, Google Maps and YouTube at the same time. \n\n\n\nHowever, several users continue to have some doubts. Which doubts concern this failure to take into account the applications that they use daily. Certainly the CEO tried to reassure, but concerns will remain until this new smartphone is put on the market. \n\n\n
