Huawei phones and Google services
Date of cardiac arrest: May 20, 2019
Huawei's inclusion in the series last May was undoubtedly one of the news of the year. Huawei's results have been great, albeit very important: new facilities have to be introduced without apps or services from Google.
Huawei has used all its ingenuity to try to minimize the impact of this situation on its business, and reinventing models already authorized under another name like the Huawei Nova 5T to presented via Google Play. Hopefully, it's not something like death but rather a state of being created, although there are still many problems, that was rejected (in new models).

There are a few things Google likes more than trying to get a company to send messages like WhatsApp or Telegram. 2016 Google add messages to YouTube and in 2019 I decided on him.
