The US elections are in full recount and the entire technology industry is waiting for what happens. Any user related to technology knows what happened to Huawei and Google because of Donald Trump. A change in government is beginning to loom, and this means that Huawei’s relationship with Google could change. Of course, at the moment there is nothing certain, much less immediate. Huawei, through Internet, said yesterday in a press conference that the company is open to work hand in hand with Google again.
Huawei won’t shoot itself in the foot, but will stick with HMS
Many of the questions at the press conference were focused on what would happen if there is a change of president in the US. If Biden wins, he can reverse the state of emergency that Trump imposed on Huawei and American companies. Huawei knows this and is quite likely to have it in its future plans now that Trump’s victory is not so clear.
Huawei Spain has been quite clear: if the US allows it, we will consider having Google services again. The big G would be delighted to provide these services to Huawei, since the only impediment is the imposition of the US government. Google has made it clear on several occasions that it does want to collaborate with Huawei , but that it is not possible.
Huawei is going through a very difficult time in which its sales in the West have plummeted over the last year. The company is forging its own mobile services that have not yet convinced and which still have a long way to go.
Faced with the possibility of being able to once again have Google services and applications on Huawei mobiles, the company will not hesitate and will probably welcome them with open arms. Of course, Huawei has also said that it will not put aside its own mobile services.
Huawei mobiles could have their own services and also those of Google
The company is focused on its own mobile services and believes that in the long term they will have a fairly large market gap. In China this is undeniable, but in the West, Google and its services have a ‘shed’ against which it is difficult to compete.
Huawei could have the possibility to include Google services in its devices and at the same time continue to implement its own. Users would have to decide which services to use for what.
Honestly, from Bullfrag, we find it difficult for a user who buys a Huawei again to opt for the company’s own services when they have Google’s at hand. Still, it is not a bad thing for users, they will simply buy a mobile that has more options than the rest.
No illusions, changes are not guaranteed
Biden’s victory is almost assured, but this does not ensure that Huawei will be able to collaborate with Google again. Biden could take advantage of Trump’s changes and continue to prevent Huawei from engaging in US companies. The United States has international relations with China that are hanging by a thread and that are currently quite deteriorated.
Returning to normal is not completely safe, so we will have to wait. Biden will not take the reins of the White House tomorrow either, but it will take a few months until he can make decisions as the possible president of the United States.
Could Huawei count on Google services again? Yes. Is this safe for this to happen if Biden takes over as president? Not at all.
