The Mobile World Congress might be canceled, but several companies in the industry announced new products this week, including China’s largest smartphone maker, and the world’s second-largest handset vendor. Huawei unveiled a brand new version of the Mate X foldable that impressed us last year, which is better in every way than its predecessor (except for the software). Huawei is still banned from working with US tech companies, so the Mate Xs ships without Google apps preloaded, just like the Mate 30 series before it.
Moreover, Huawei’s brand Honor launched a couple of new Android handsets on Monday as well, including a 5G flagship and a mid-range phone. Both of them come without Google apps preinstalled. A few days before the new Huawei and Honor announcements, Google finally explained why Huawei phones come without Google apps. But it turns out that Google may already be seeking official permission from the White House to work with Huawei again — although it’s not exactly clear what that means.
