This year has been really tough for Huawei, and the fact that the Chinese manufacturer had everything good to put together for a great 2019 year and has had to relax. That suspension was approved by a Donald Trump vote for any American company to do business with Huawei.
Far from any kind of trade agreement, the most successful ones have licenses to Google and Microsoft, preventing the Chinese giant from using Windows on their computers, Android and Google services.
When Google "made it private" Android and Huawei had a chance to release it
Let's start with what we love most about Android. As the program was being developed, it was a conscious decision to not only be open source, but free (that this blog is called The Free Android is not a coincidence).
What does it mean to be free? Not only did anyone have a code that the system could be built into, but they could also take it, develop it, use it and distribute it. That freedom has been around since the beginning, but it seems that in recent years that sense of freedom has lost its meaning.
Yes, any manufacturer can continue to build their own different versions, and users are free to take the code and build our ROMs. But in the end it all means nothing …
… because all Android appearances are under Google and GMS.
GMS stands for Google M.counterfeit Ssites, which are all Google services and services. All these services are unique to Android, they are free and for the manufacturer to use them they must go through Google license.
Google has linked new Android and its services, to what we often know Google Play services. It is also one that provides a lot of capabilities for app developers, but it also makes their applications more responsive to the Google environment.
This didn't happen overnight, but it has been a continuous improvement of Google and its services for over a decade. Personal actions are yours what we have accepted has been easy. Because we can't deny that each Google application is of the highest quality.
Huawei loses access to GMS and its response is ambitious
If there is a point of humiliation by Huawei in all controversy it will be its great response position. From the time of his ban he put in every effort to reassure his clients, citing their concerns (which, of course, were important to continue receiving GMS and receiving updates). But in all these reactions we have also seen Huawei's stressed-out power display.
The company did not plan to release details about Harmony OS (its alternative to Android), a highly promising program that on the day I offered Huawei was ready to replace Android or was not ready at all. Harmony is an ambitious project, which is currently unveiled.
Huawei does not have any other Android ready, certified by the developer
With Mate 30 imminent, along with the inability to use Google apps, the product developer confirms the worst: Harmony OS is not good for mobile.
They have not attempted to show that they have the program not only, but also otherwise in Google Mobile Services. This approach became better known in September as Huawei Mobile Services (HMS), and is a complete package of services trying to replace Google's absence. Come on, be a "nearly identical" substitute. Pepsi to Coca Cola, Nesquik to Cola Cao.
Huawei fixes Google's absence with what it already has
The Mate 30 is an evolution of Huawei as it meets Google & # 39; s Android. And it's all played on one card: Huawei Mobile Services.
The best suggestions are not set, but are accepted
We don't want to underestimate, at the very least, the great work that Huawei needs to do to create its mobile services, to go to direct war with Google. And according to the Economic Times, these services will be operational in India before the end of December.
«We have our own HMS and we are trying to build a mobile ecosystem. Most applications such as navigation, payments, video games and messaging will be ready by the end of December. »
Linux and Android have gained high power in their various fields due to their open environment. Huawei can achieve the same with services that keep it up to date.
In this battle where Huawei was forced to fight we believe it was a decision to build a Google mobile service image losing the opportunity to release the most private part of Android, like Google services.
Judging by the past, companies like Microsoft with MS-DOS (and later Windows) and Google with Android have not found their success based on the brute force, as Huawei is trying to achieve. Not a technical battle, but a battle for confidence.
Huawei is not at war for technology, but for confidence. And creating an open standard for mobile services may be just what you need.
Huawei, more than ever, needs to reinforce its image, and make some of its own private practices when the company is charged with espionage (regardless of whether the case is true) if you blame the company, which builds its own private ecosystem.
Nobody cares about the Huawei Mate 30 Pro without Google's services, and instead of Huawei no one will continue to care about what might be the best mobile phone of 2019.
Huawei had the opportunity to rise to Google in its field of play, creating an open standard for mobile services, allowing any store, map service or payment to work together. They had the opportunity to integrate small businesses into the organization that if they could stand up, and not wish to be a copy that no one wanted to use.
Because Huawei doesn't need to control the mobile service business, only that there is a field of play where he can work without fear of presidential decisions.
