Huawei was already facing serious trouble following the Trump administration's de facto ban, but it might get considerably worse. Reuterssources claim Google has suspended transactions with Huawei that require transferring proprietary hardware and software, hobbling much of its smartphone business outside of China. It "immediately" loses access to future OS updates beyond the Android Open Source Project, according to the insider, and upcoming phones would have to go without official apps like the Google Play Store and Gmail.

The company is still "internally" discussing which services are going away, the source said. Google would cut off all tech support and collaboration for Android and services, however.

We've asked Google for comment. If accurate, though, the suspension would represent a serious blow to Huawei's mobile efforts. Although this shouldn't dent the company's Chinese business much (it can't use Google apps in the country), it depends on access to Google apps to remain competitive with devices like the P30 Pro. So long as the US blacklisting persists, Huawei might have to rely on third-party apps and services just to offer fully functional handsets -- and there's no guarantee customers will be receptive to the change.

USA! ALways trying to play the BIG DEVIL

This effectively means no further Android security updates for devices new and old, including the recent P30 and P30 Pro, Mate 20 Pro, and many more.

Bro, they had good reasons for the suspension.

USA thinks China are spying on people with Huawei products, they first banned all government workers from using Huawei products

Also Google apps like play store, Chrome, gmail, maps, YouTube, drive will no longer function on Huawei.

Wow, this is a really huge blow to the Chinese manufactures

Google action to suspend Huawei android supports is politically motivated... This will definitely affect their market share.

And Saint America does not spy?

Will mate 7 price reduce now?

They think? I think I'm a multi billionaire. I'm just having difficulty convincing anyone I want to spend it with!

This is sheer politics being played by a nation with an inferior product.

As I ehh, who would forget the whole Edward Snowden and wiki leaks and issue

not at all ,China already 100% equivalent of any app dished our by Google and even much better

.

This is a death sentence to huawei if its tru

Samsung will be glad to hear this....

The US just wants to destroy Asian competition in the tech space...
So the likes of Facebook and Google doesn't compromise data...
It's safe to say that America is shivering over perceived Chinese dominance in tech...
Huawei has the highest number of 5G patents but they have even convinced other countries not to use Huawei hardware..
Bunch of fearful fools!!

You see the issue, "they think" until they start producing solid evidence and stop fearfully "thinking" then we cant take they insinuations serious!!

jaid23:

What if?

What if China is really building itself to be an imposing economic figure, creeping into everything else whether by hook or by crook?
We are all too quick to blame USA, but China too "get for hand". They literally think it makes them any better if they are always in a race with the western world (if you're in a race with anyone like USA, you're going to play second place most of the time). Now, they've bamboozled their way to world power, and with that, the only to one up USA, is by extending a friendly arm, while planting a bug on USA's back.

USA nudged out ZTE first, people thought it was because of spite (well, it looked like that), now Huawei. I see a trend; one that isn't as thoughtless as we think.

Smart people don't wait for solid evidences before they take preventive measures while they can. For a country like USA, they can't afford to lose Intel and other information to someone like CHINA! it would literally cripple them! heck, that's the dream of all the other supposed "world powers": to see America crumble.

So, No, it's not fearful thinking, it's just preventive measures.

You would cut off that friend of yours if you as much as "think" he's betraying you elsewhere because you know that if you wait for evidences, it might be too late for you.

Don't forget China did the same banning, Facebook, Twitter and Google too. You don't expect them to sit down and fold their hands.

True! People are quick to hate and blame USA. But they have their reasons for what they did beyond "fear of China rising". They are world power because of their intelligence not fear. Chinese are worse than we understand. For instance, they are steadily buying Africa up with crippling loans and grants and African leaders are too dumb to see or say anything until it's too late. Americans are much more smarter. They don't wait till a potential danger materialise before they take proactive actions

Yes, Nigeria is a tiny devil inconsequential on world scale. China is rising devil while America is a smart devil, both on global scale level

Bro, Facebook and Google are America companies.. Even if they wanna compromise data, it would be in favour of the US

The suspension is as a result of the de facto ban placed by Trump

It's true bro, this singular action by Google will cripple Huawei

wizzywisdom:

Lol, with or without the ban Huawei has always been inferior to Samsung... Samsung has the wider reach with a wider market

They must have their evidences bro, Google can't just take action without reason.

I remember Google also did same to Zte mobiles some time ago

abdeiz:

Exactly, these two countries are rivals in Tech... They are fighting for that top spot

Consequently, Huawei will only be able to use the public version of Android, and won’t get access to proprietary apps and services from Google

Huawei will have to create their own update mechanism for security patches
