This is not good.
[Google has dealt a major blow to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei by blocking the firm from using critical apps and services like Gmail and YouTube on its range of smartphones, according to reports. Just like other major smartphone makers including Samsung and LG, Huawei relies on the Google-developed Android operating system to power its mobile devices.] [But, amid a US crackdown on Chinese technology companies due to ongoing security concerns, Reuters and The Verge report that Google has suspended business with Huawei and in doing so hugely undermined its lineup of handsets, which are among the most critically-acclaimed and best-selling on the market.] https://news.sky.com/story/google-de...cence-11724450 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48330310 Last edited by arista; 20-05-2019 at 03:28 AM. |

As you go on though, you won't get any updates... and soon those apps won't work for you... rt now it's ok... but give it time

Just get it rooted to stock Android and (I would bet) you'll be able to sideload YouTube no problem.
As for gmail... You can use third part apps for Gmail accounts . Half of them are better than default Gmail. |

The really sad this about this is that it totally defeats the purpose of Android... It was supposed to be the "open to all" alternative it iOS. Not any more apparently.

Basically any current device will be fine (you DON'T need to update to the newest version of Android and most phones will run the version they shipped with for their lifespan) but anything made after this year has a big question mark over it. |
