Google services are coming back to Huawei's former sub-brand - A Honourable return.
Ever since Huawei was placed on the Entity list in 2019, Huawei and its sub-brand Honor were cut off from trading with US-based companies, and as a result lost the ability to have Google Services like the Play Store be used on their phones.
But, ever since Honor went independent in 2020, things were looking up for the company.
In a tweet made to promote their new Honor 50 series, and ahead of the official launch, the company has confirmed its upcoming phones will have Google pre-installed. The source of information is Honor Germany’s Twitter handle, which revealed this info while responding to a user tweet.
Ja, das können wir bestätigen. Aber pssst, soll noch eine Überraschung werden 😉
which roughly translates to
Yes, we can confirm that. But pssst, should be another surprise😉
Similar to prior Honor devices, the new phones will run MagicUI, Honor's own skin for Android, with some exclusive features according to the company. The Honor 50 would be the first phone to launch with Google apps since Google revoked Huawei and Honor’s Android license last year. Gaining access to Google apps will mark a big step forward for Honor as it seeks to renter the global smartphone market scene and regain its lost territories.
Honor has already confirmed its upcoming Honor 50 series will be powered by Qualcomm’s newly launched Snapdragon 778G chipset. As per rumors, the new series will consist of three phones and feature an AMOLED 120Hz display, triple rear cameras, and dual selfie cameras.
We hope to see Honor claw back the market share they once held, as they had some truly innovative phones under their belt.
