MUNICH - The new Mate 30 smartphone series boasts a wealth of new features but it is Huawei's first flagship phone that will not have access to Google apps and services due to the United States ban on American companies doing business with the Chinese tech giant.

The Mate 30's lack of Google apps and services were confirmed by business news organisation Quartz in a report published on Wednesday night . At the Munich event, Mr Yu chose instead to focus on promoting the phone's hardware features, including its high-end cameras and software that promises best-in-class 5G experiences and high power efficiency.

Ms Kiranjeet Kaur, an analyst with research firm IDC, told The Straits Times:"If a consumer, who is buying a premium device, has to go through all these extra steps and still not feel certain that all these apps will continue to work smoothly, then it is going to be a big deterrent."
