Which Huawei / Honor mobiles have Google services in 2020?

If you are going to buy a Huawei or Honor mobile, you are interested in knowing whether or not it integrates Google services. In this list, we collect the smartphones of both companies that are officially sold in Spain, with all the Google apps. They are more than you think.

These days are exactly one year since the United States government approved the veto to Huawei, which prevents it from establishing commercial relations with American companies. The main consequence is that the new smartphones from Huawei and its satellite company Honor do not include Google services and apps.

However, even after the veto, new mobiles of these companies have continued to appear with Google because they were certified before the sanction. Since the Huawei and Honor websites do not specify which models have these services, and which do not, we have created this list of Huawei and Honor mobiles that Google has.

We have focused on the smartphones that are currently sold on the official websites of both companies in Spain. Of course, other older models also maintain Google services.

The veto was officially activated on May 16, 2019. Any Huawei and Honor smartphone sold before that date has Google. From it, most of the new models carry alternative applications from Huawei. But some have been able to bypass the veto because they were certified before the sanction. Let's see what they are.

Keep in mind that here we collect the phones that Huawei and Honor with Google, which is currently for sale in their official stores, in May 2020.

And what if my Huawei / Honor mobile does not have Google services?

Before moving on to the list, let's see why this problem has occurred and how to fix it if it affects you.

Why do some Huawei / Honor mobiles not have Google services?

China and the United States are engulfed in a trade war for control of global technology markets, with the 5G connection in the lead, and Huawei is in the midst of this war.

As a result, since May 16, 2019, the United States has prohibited commercial companies from maintaining relationships with Huawei and its satellite companies, in this case, Honor.

This affects the Snapdragon processors the aforementioned Google services, including the Google Play Store, Gmail, YouTube, etc.

At the hardware level, Huawei does not have a problem because it has used its own Kirin processors for a long time, and the rest of the components are Made in China, as in almost all mobiles. In the case of Android, it is not affected either because it is an open-source operating system, so Huawei continues to use the free version of Android.

The main deficiency is, therefore, Google services.

One of the strategies that Huawei is going to follow is to launch updated versions of models that debuted before the veto, for example, the Huawei P30 New Edition, which has not yet arrived in Spain.

What happens if my mobile does not have Google?

If your Huawei or Honor mobile does not come with Google services installed, it does not mean that you, as a user, cannot use them. The veto affects Huawei, but not users. Therefore you will be able to continue using the Google search engine from any browser or access Gmail from the web without problems, for example.

Can I install Google on my Huawei / Google banned mobile?

It is not as simple as downloading the Gmail, Maps, Drive, etc. apps, because we do not have Google Play to download them, and they are not in the Huawei store.

But there is a fairly simple way to install Google services on Huawei / Honor mobiles, which does not take more than a couple of minutes.

It is not the perfect solution, but it will help you to install applications from Google and Google Play and other apps that do not verify that the mobile is certified.

The Huawei P30 Pro has a 6.47-inch AMOLED screen and Full HD + resolution, with a Kirin 980 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage. It has a 4,200 mAh battery with a fast charge at 40 W.

In the camera section, the main sensor with 40 MP f / 1.65 OIS stands out, accompanied by a 20 MP wide-angle, another 8 MP sensor with 5X zoom, and a ToF 3D depth sensor. The selfie camera reaches 32 MP with an f / 2.0 aperture.

In our analysis of the Huawei P30 Pro, we highlight its top performance, low-light photography, as well as its high autonomy and low charging time.
