Google To End Cooperation With Huawei, Intel Qualcomm and Microsoft join.

Google To End Cooperation With Huawei, Intel Qualcomm and Microsoft join.

A bizarre turn of events is reported today in smartphone land. President Trump declared the national telecommunications emergency last week to protect the United States from foreign attacks, Google has now taken action and ends their relations with Huawei. 

According to concurring reports from Reuters and The Verge , the company is ending its collaboration with Huawei. Android updates and Google services According to Google, the business relationships have been discontinued in almost all areas relevant to Huawei's smartphones. This is particularly heavy for the numerous Google services that come with an Android smartphone , especially the Play Store, the E-Mail service Gmail or the Chrome browser. Even the operating system itself is affected, but open source: Since the source code android is freely accessible and usable, Google can not prohibit the use of Huawei, but in the future no longer distribute updates. 

 

 Due to the measures, Huawei can no longer use Google apps and updates. 
Google states that nothing changes for phones that are already in use.
 

Nonetheless, Reuters notes that users of Huawei smartphones already in operation have been marginally affected for the time being. Thus, the Play Store can be used at least for updates of installed apps, even configured services would continue for now. Only the next generation of Huawei smartphones should be entirely without Google services. Huawei himself has always rejected the accusations of espionage and sees their own rights violated.

Update:  Huawei has given a short response below.

“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 benefited 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 want to continue to build a safe and sustainable software ecosystem, in order to provide the best experience for all users globally. ”

In another short note, the news is now expanding as Google, Microsoft, Intel, and Qualcomm all are placing a ban on Huawei. The ban has huge consequences for Huawei. Intel supplies Xeon processors for servers in Huawei data centers, Qualcomm supplies modems for network equipment and smartphones. It remains unclear what all this means for Huawei's plans to build 5g networks worldwide.

Wow, now even smartphone users are affected by the trade war and that is plenty of people, though thankfully current Huawei owners do not notice much. I wonder how long people will accept the tolls and all if prices start to go up and real bankrupties start to occur? Countries all over the world need to find reliable and long term trade partners soon or else they start to run into debt. Either you do that or build vastly improved domestic economy.

So how are future Huawei phones affected exactly? Can users download apps from Play Store anymore? Google apps are easily replacable in the end, like Chrome, Maps, etc; but without any updates coming from Google does this simply mean Huawei needs their own distribution channel to update Play Store or any apps (Play Store is an app in itself)? Do they need to wait longer before they get their hands on latest Android builds, when Google offers the files for others way sooner?

I don't think it is only related to the USA tariffs on Chinese products. Huawei has already faced decisions of many governments that rejected them from any government systems. The tariffs probably only further this point, so the partners abandon the ship before they take a large hit.

As for smartphones, they will probably still run android, but the play store will be missing. I understand that Chinese have their replacement store, but it will obviously be inferior to the official store. It's going to be interesting to see what Huawei does with this.
