Donald Trump was the one who began the war against China in his first term as president of the United States, and with His return to the presidency Doubts begin to appear due to possible prohibitions that are carried out to Android mobile manufacturers such as some of the most important Chinese brands.
The imposition of rates by the United States is opening the possibility to this path, so some of those brands are already contemplating to anticipate so that they do not catch them with their foot changed. And is that An Android mobile without Google It would be a difficult blow to receive, since many of the daily experiences of millions of people are based on Maps, Lens and other apps.
You just have to take a look at the Fall in sales that Huawei suffered in Spain when it was the one that led the Spanish market. And although currently, thanks to stores such as Aurora Store, the most popular apps can be used, the first mobile configuration is more complicated than doing it with a mobile in which the Play Store is used to have all the apps installed in minutes.
So the rumor that is emerging, according to GSMArenathese days have its weight and mobile manufacturers in China are already contemplating a containment plan Given the possibility of a blockade by the United States and follow the same destination as Huawei.

At least there are already alternative apps to Google Maps As Petal Maps, although there are many others that would be more complicated, but the use of Aurora Store, which allows you to use the Google account (although the possibility of the technological giant would block it totally), it would offer the possibility of continuing to use a mobile without Google with the apps that we usually use daily.
In fact, Huawei has been establishing important links in Spain for several years with bank apps such as BBVA, which is precisely Another possible potholesso in part all these manufacturers would have it easier for Huawei to be able to use Google Play services and Google apps.
Xiaomi is the manufacturer who sells the most in China followed by Huawei, then Oppo and then alive. All of them take two thirds of the mobiles distributed in China in the first quarter of this year, and Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo are In the top five of the manufacturers that sell the most Globally, so the change to selling mobiles without Google would be an impact.
But be careful, that movements against Google begin to set a form of “Draw” a mobile in the imposition of rates That the United States is carrying out, so the possibility of a Google -free Android by these Chinese brands would not be missed in more regions than one might think at first.
