Can the Mate 30 Pro survive without Google apps?
Thunder E of Booredatwork returns to the show after an incredibly busy week – we had the iPhone 11 line dropping and then Huawei making headlines with their latest smartphones that are now lacking in one major aspect. After giving some impressions on the iPhones, we give our thoughts on whether or not Huawei will remain as successful as ever despite the loss of important and essential Google Apps like Maps. While there might be some relief for users who are open to sideloading and modding their Mate 30 Pro phones, what does this mean for the millions of other users who don’t frequent XDA Developers?
Enjoy a video version of the show in our YouTube version and keep the discussion going by answering our question in the comments section! We encourage you to listen in on the whole conversation below or by tuning in via your favorite podcasting application. We are on Google, Apple, Spotify, PocketCasts, via direct download, and more!
