Huawei
Huawei is a chinese multinational telecommunications equipment and electronics manufacturer, it’s a massive and a huge company in China. It was founded in 1987, and since then it has been growing in its industry in an absolutely noteable way! It focused on positioning its products in more than 170 countries around the world, it served 45 out of the 50 largest telecom operators in 2011…. Read more. Not only did it to that, but also it overtook Ericsson in 2012 as the largest telecommunications-equipment manufacturer worldwide, let’s not forget how it took over Apple too in 2018 as the second largest manufacturer of smartphones behind Samsung Electronics.
When we talk like that, we can definitely understand the place it made a place for itself in the market for the past few years and how well it was known for the consumers, as it actually produced one of the smartest Android phones in the market, but yeah it was going so well until a few days ago! Everything has changed!
Huawei users have been paralyzed for the past few days when the breaking news of Google banning Huawei from its services came out! Honestly they’ve got every right to be, It’s a MASSIVE DISASTER! Let’s explain the problem and what it means to the past, present and future Huawei products. For some political reason, the U.S government has signed an executive order that added Huawei to a blacklist of companies that are restricted from doing any business with any U.S company at all! So, when this executive order came out, Google stated that it is cutting any business with Huawei and that they’re pulling their Android license, so BAM!!
Here the answer to that, Google has stated that they will work with Huawei for 90 days after the agreement, so basically for the upcoming 90 days, Huawei will receive software updates in a normal manner, but not anymore after that! Which leaves us with the fact that whatever software update happens on a device within this 90 days period is the one staying on the device for its remaining lifetime!
For those who doesn’t really know what are Google services, they are the services you guys basically use everyday like Google Play store or even Google maps! How can someone live without Google navigation system?! The problem is it doesn’t only end here with Huawei, it doesn’t end with Google, actually honestly speaking it start here. This executive order means that Huawei’s business will be banned with Microsoft, Intel and all the other companies that Huawe base a great section of their business with. How come they would produce a Microsoft laptop without actually having a license from Microsoft themselves ?! Yeah! Huawei is facing a massive disaster!
After going through all that, Huawei had to answer the clients, those people who paid a lot of money and are in a shock with all that’s happening, here’s what they said:
Huawei has made substantial contributions to the development and growth of Android around the world. As one of Android's key global partners, we have worked closely with their open-source platform to develop an ecosystem that has benefitted both users and the industry. Huawei will continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products, covering those that have been sold and that are still in stock globally. We will continue to build a safe and sustainable software ecosystem, in order to provide the best experience for all users globally.
Huawei became one of the leading companies in the Android smartphones industry… U.S government issued an executive order that all U.S companies are banned from doing business with Huawei… Google reported that their business with Huawei is banned and Android license will be withdrawn from them… Huawei is in a massive problem!
Let’s wait and see what will happen.
