Huawei Mate 30 Pro Launches Without Google Services
Huawei launches the Mate 30 Pro flagship smartphone without Google Play Store, Gmail, YouTube, or Google Maps, forced to use its own HMS (Huawei Mobile Services) ecosystem. Despite strong hardware specs from the TSMC-made Kirin 990 chip, sales outside China suffer dramatically. Huawei begins pouring resources into developing its own operating system HarmonyOS and AppGallery app marketplace.
