Huawei mobile users ponder switching brand after Google news
That was what some owners asked after U.S. tech giant Google said it would suspend its business with China’s top mobile maker, threatening future access to Gmail, YouTube and Chrome.
Google said Monday it would comply with an order by U.S. President Donald Trump to stop supplying Huawei, meaning it would no longer be able to offer its popular Android apps to buyers of new Huawei phones.
India, where Huawei now has only single-figure market share, is also potentially vital.
Manish Khatri, the owner of a smartphone shop in Mumbai, India’s financial hub, said some customers had been looking for Huawei phones.
Huawei said Monday it would continue to provide security updates and services for its smartphones and tablets that have already been sold.
Hutchison’s British network operator Three told customers that Huawei’s routers and devices would continue working, but also said it was seeking further information.
Huawei denies the U.S charges.
