Will Google's decision to suspend business with Huawei affect your device?

ABC  

Google's shock decision yesterday to suspend business operations with Huawei has sparked confusion and uncertainty among fans of the Chinese giant's devices, with many vowing to steer clear of the next generation of Huawei devices altogether. Key points: Google says the Huawei ban will not impact "existing" users of smartphones Huawei says it will provide support and cover for all devices sold and in stock It is still unclear whether Huawei users will be able to enjoy the next Android OS upgrade The suspension came just days after United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency and barring US companies from using telecommunications equipment made by firms posing a national security risk, essentially forcing a ban on certain firms from cooperating with China's Huawei. Despite initial fears that existing Huawei users could immediately lose access to downloads and updates to Google apps, Google and Android came out soon after the initial reports appearing to provide reassurance that "existing" devices would not be affected. At the same time, Android — the mobile operating system developed by Google — published a near identical statement that it was complying with US Government requirements while maintaining only that Google Play and security from Google Play Protect would continue to function on existing Huawei devices. "The open source Android channel is typically a lot slower, and Google certainly wouldn't be allowed to provide the next Android Q this year directly to Huawei," Kidman said.
