Google Can’t Do Anything About These Losses as Trump Administration Black Listed Huawei
Google doesn’t get to say anything in
this matter as it was the Trump administration that has placed Huawei in
blacklist recently. Almost all the US companies won’t be doing any
business with this Chinese smartphone maker.
The Huawei devices that the company will
launch from now onwards won’t get access to use Google Android. The old
phones won’t get any updates or security patches from Google form now
onwards.
According to an estimate of Instinet,
Huawei has 500 million smartphone users across the world. 52% of them
are in China where Google Play isn’t available. The other markets that
have a huge impact on this decision are Asia (excluding China) and
Europe.
Google has generated a whopping amount of $7 billion from Play Store sales in 2018 and $388 million of it comes from Huawei phones. The most important generator of these sales is Europe.
The report has also stated that this
loss effect won’t last long for Google as there will be so many people
who will switch from Huawei to other phones after learning about the
absence of Google. Although Huawei has announced about their own
operating system, users are not so sure about it.
