I just got my P30 Pro series from Huawei when I heard the news that Google won't support the device from this brand anymore. I just really hope that my smartphone won't be affected in the near future. I really hope that they will be able to sort things out.
I only got my P30 about 10 days ago however on hearing that news and fearing I may be stuck with a phone I can't upgrade or may end up with security holes I exchanged it for a Samsung S10.
Problem is what do you do, wait and "possibly" be stuck with something you can't upgrade or update or will it be a storm in a teacup. As I was within my 14 day exchange period I erred on the side of caution

...and now you're stuck with a phone that will receive at least 1 upgrade, 3 months late
Better than no upgrade at all!

A part of me is also hoping that we keep getting android without google services.Originally Posted by liamtyler
There was a time I went way out of my way to get rid of google services on my phone, the result was much better battery life. But the fact that huawei phones can't have their bootloaders unlocked means that isn't a possibility either. Do hope everything gets fixed.
I'm expecting Huawei to release a AOSP ROM. I am still tempted to get a P30 Pro if I can get one cheap (just gone SIM only)

I wouldn't get a Huawei if it didn't offer access to Google services.

I think you can install it yourself, just search around for solutions. It so just doesn't come with the device.
You can replace the brand
all my HUAWEI/HONOR work just fine....
what is it that people can't get to work ? or are the just believing old news reports?
The newer phones are launched with the open source version of Android,but no integrated Play store,as the US government blocked Huawei from using it. So you either have to use the store Huawei made,or side load Google apps. However,devices upto and including the Huawei P30 were not affected as they were made before the ban happened.
You do not need to worry about your P30 Pro... It has Google Services and its not going to lose them! My P30 Pro has been consistently recieving updates since i've had it.
How are you enjoying the phone, I LOVE the Camera!
