“Huawei Technologies Co Ltd will immediately lose access to updates to the Android operating system, and the next version of its smartphones outside of China will also lose access to popular applications and services including the Google Play Store and Gmail app,” Reuters noted.

Why is Huawei banned but OnePlus(etc) isn’t?
Not too long ago, Huawei phones were carried by and had plans to expand coverage with more than one US mobile carrier. In the events that occurred over the past year, it became clear that the US intelligence community had reason to distrust Huawei for what they suggested was the potential for Chinese government-sponsored spying.
The reason Huawei is different from OnePlus in this respect is its choice of processor. Because the OnePlus 6T has a Qualcomm system-on-chip, the US government has no reason to distrust its abilities. OnePlus and Huawei may both be China-based, but Huawei makes their own processors. This leaves the potential for distrust amongst the US intelligence community – and in turn stops them from official US mobile carrier coverage.

No that's is for only new coming Huawei all existing phones will function fully because they would be in the system just no software update just app support. That don't bother me persay because I have a Mate 20 pro and it works great so no need to panic.Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:redmanjp wrote:so this means that all Huawei devices we have lose access to updates if it's from a US location?

How does this affect existing Huawei handsets?
Owners of Huawei or Honor phones will not find that they suddenly cannot install new apps or get updates for Google services.
The reason is that their devices have already been certified under processes known as the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) and the Vendor Test Suite (VTS).
As a consequence, Google can provide them with new versions of its products and authorise downloads from its Play marketplace, without having to directly deal with Huawei itself.
The way these typically work is that Google gives Android device-makers the code for its software fixes about one month before it reveals details to the public about the vulnerabilities involved.
This gives manufacturers time to check the patches do not cause problems for their own proprietary software, and then to package up a customised version of the fixes as a download.
Huawei will now only learn of the patches on the same day they are released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), meaning there will be a lag before it can distribute them.

Well to be fair China has banned Google, Facebook and a number of US apps for years now. But this isn't exactly the same thing.
Huawei was quickly becoming dominant in the Android Sphere, I'm sure prior to this announcement, Huawei was on track to take the number one spot from Samsung.
Do not ever underestimate the Chinese. People feel China can't develop software, oh trust me, they're fast becoming a leader there. Much much better than India is, Chinese will make their own OS, Apps and chips and will win in the long run.
The majority of Chinese consumers do not use the Google Play store.l33t2 wrote:screwbash wrote:the rest of the world shud ban google

Huawei is the share leader in China with an eye to expand Indian market share.
Locking Huawei out of the Play store will automatically reduce their take rate for consumer sales in EU, NA and SA.
Huawei is the largest 4G LTE network equipment provider because they supply China. Ericsson and Nokia have a supply footprint that is nearly as large.
