Huawei’s Android Smartphones May Never Receive Android Q

[silversurfer]

Google, which has already blocked Huawei from using its proprietary apps, like the Google Play Store, Gmail, and Google Maps, as well as the licensed version of Android, has recently removed Huawei models from the Android Q beta program as well.
 
In other words, Huawei users can no longer try out the next version of Android, and without public testing, there’s a chance the Chinese company might not be able to push the stable update to users. If the beta version of Android Q is blocked on Huawei phones, this could very well be a sign that the stable version might also never make it to these devices.
 
The new US restrictions allow Huawei to continue to provide software updates to existing devices, but the company being kicked out of the Android Q beta program means it can no longer optimize this release for its devices.

Owners of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, which was until recently included in the Android Q beta testing, wouldn’t get any updates, so their own options are to continue running the most recent beta build or to return to the latest stable Android release.
