That means that the Mate 30 — and presumably, other upcoming devices like the <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/15/20806736/huawei-mate-x-release-date-delay-again" target="_blank">now-delayed foldable Mate X</a> — could be severely limited at launch. They’ll still run Android, which is at its core open-source software that’s freely available. But Google has confirmed to The Verge that the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro (rumored to launch on September 18th) won’t be able to ship with Google’s apps and services on board, which could put them at a severe disadvantage given how important Google’s apps are.<a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-huawei-tech-alphabet-idUSKCN1VI240" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/article/us-huawei-tech-alphabet-idUSKCN1VI240</a></blockquote>
