Huawei phones at the end of last week they had an extremely bad news announced for everyone, and this is because a new extremely serious problem appeared. More precisely, the exceptions to the sanctions imposed by the US against the Chinese company have expired, so that any American company is prohibited from collaborating with Huawei, and this is very bad news for Huawei phones released before May 2019.
Huawei phones launched before that date still had official updates for Android, had the Google Play Store, and benefited from everything that normally benefits any phone. Well, after the expiration of the exception offered by Donald Trump, Huawei phones can no longer have updates released for the Android operating system because Google can no longer certify it, so Android 11 can no longer be offered on old models.
Huawei phones: Android updates OFF since August
Huawei phones which were launched after May 2019, and have the open source version of Android will continue to benefit from updates because Google does not have to certify them. Instead, the older models will remain either without them, or Huawei will have to replace the Android in them with the open-source version, and this will not be easy to achieve on Huawei phones active now, several hundred million in number, so the problem itself is a very serious one.
Huawei phones thus, they are left without the most important resource needed by clients from all over the world, as has been proven time and again until now. Huawei phones could benefit from a resolution of the situation if Donald Trump decided to apply exceptions for the sanctions he initially imposed, but this seems quite unlikely, so it is easier to wait for the situation not to be resolved soon.
Huawei phones they will not lose access to the Google Play Store, which is still very good news, so people will at least be able to install any kind of applications they want.
