Google's move to end business ties with Huawei will affect current devices and future purchases.

Some of these services will still be accessible via the web, but many would find that less convenient.

"Let's say an app wants to send a notification to your device," Mishaal Rahman, editor-in-chief of the news site XDA-developers.com, explained to the BBC. But Mr Rahman believes that is unlikely to be the case since the next version - Android Q - will also be open source and Google has already shared most of the source code with Huawei and other partners."What happens is that Google's top partners - which includes companies like Huawei and Samsung - get early access to the preview code many months before the public beta release," he explained."The impact on Huawei would be that it would lose several months of development time.

"So, even if Huawei continues to sell devices using the open source code, it cannot legally call its devices Android."Huawei told the BBC it would prefer to work with Android, but has created a new operating system as a Plan B

BBCWorld I don't know how people think about this thing ,I just want to ask if the Huawei was restricted as us wished now,who is the next?

BBCWorld each country all will have this kind of risk!

BBCWorld BBC ,so happy ah..😱

BBCWorld It is crazy for US & Google. It means US gov. & Google can punish every related company at will. It feels like if Koreans do not put US the first, Samsung will be punished at any time. But why SKorea has to put US the first? Companies should unite for plan B with no Google.

🖕🇨🇳

BBCWorld silviatestsp1 😃

ANDROID is OPEN SOURCE. America are just terrified of competition. Grab a beer and watch Huawei come out smelling a lot better. Breath in...... breath out. Feeling better 😂

As Trump forces more people to buy Apple vs. Huawei, at least customers can be reassured that they'll be spied on by capitalists rather than communists.

I am surprised it took this long taking into account that Google is blocked by Chinese government.

So much for open source. Hahaha

Was going to get one did not, but they do look good for the price

My phone has lost gmail, so Google can go to hell for all I care. No company should have that amount of power.

BBCWorld Wadigidaw😅

BBCWorld cant huawei create their own technology?

BBCWorld US want a back door to spy on people

It’s not a problem. Everyone will just start using the amazing new Geordie phones.... Wye Aye Wei Or the technologically advanced Welsh phones Come By Wei 😂🤣

BBCWorld Di saat kita berdua baru pada ganti ke Huawei 😂

And what happens if our banks decide make their apps no longer available to Huawei phones?

BBCWorld Huawei's CEO said ready for this and already prepared their own operating syatem. I think it's time to launch the new operating system made by China👾 rising of China never ends!

BBCWorld Whats a Huawei? GOOGLE PIXEL all the way! Sent from a broken Samsung Galaxy S7

BBCWorld The sentiments towards products of the US is deteriorating rapidly in Asia and Europe. Huawei has its own system standing by, so to speak. Within 5 years they will dominate the market completely.

This is terrible what they are doing to this company why don’t USA publish the facts about the company if they are that dishonest I don’t blame its as plain as day what America is doing huawei if not now they will be bigger than apple

BBCWorld Today they can block Huawei's neck, tomorrow they can provide our data to US gov by same reason. The relationship with US IT giants should be resetted.

BBCWorld I think this is the breakpoint of american monopoly over technology... this is a chance for china to built own technology habitat. Nobody has to buy too expensive iphone. Because alternatives are much more cost effective and qualified.

BBCWorld I think the almighty dollar will have the last word. If China now bans Apple and Apple products the USA will have got what they deserve. More relevant is that under Obama the world seemed a better place than today

Its not the Huawei backdoor that rattles the US, It that CIA's backdoor into US products isn't there! Why are our papers not observing this?

Absolutely pathetic, thought we lived in a free society? Yeah right!!

BBCWorld Let criticize let see what Huawei will offer on the table the criticize you may think it falling and come to find out that it rising

BBCWorld I don't care, it's Google's problem. They force China to have their own os. And when China will, US government and Google will sh*t on themselves.

BBCWorld If you buy Huawei in the first place you deserve this.

It affects my sense of freedom and justice. America cannot be allowed to control the world. I'm ditching Apple buying Huweii, backing other countries to fight AMERICAN monopolies. DUMP GOOGLE. They could REFUSE and stand for FREEDOM like Manning. Google would appease Goebbels

BBCWorld

my fear is that what happen if tomorrow google says that samsung etc.. are also banned

if your phone is more than a couple of years old, you don't get any updates. This is the big scandal, companies trying to force you to update your phone.

It's nothing but tech cold war and attempts to get re-elected.

Got the Huawei p20 Pro best phone I have ever had must of dropped the thing a 100 times screen is stronger then Peggy Mitchell's hair, P30 next month when contract ends ...

Our low IQ & incompetent PM ignored the concerns of the US about China spying & pushed ahead with their investments in the UK. This is the blowback.
