Moreover, the Huawei Mate 30 series and the foldable Mate X were the two variants that had the highest stakes in the showdown between Huawei and US after the US government placed Huawei on what we know as the “entity list”. In addition to that there were also rumors that Huawei will not be allowed to use Google’s pre-loaded apps such as the main engine of the app selection, the Play Store and others on its phones, but this has now been confirmed from a new source who has claimed that Google services will not be provided in the two new variants set to be launched by Huawei.
