NEW YORK/FRANKFURT: Huawei Technologies plans to forge ahead with the launch of new high-end smartphones in Europe even though it may not be able to offer Google's official Android operating system and widely used apps such as Google Maps, company executives told Reuters.
U.S. companies can seek a license for specific products to be exempted from the ban. Google, a part of Alphabet Inc , would not say whether it had applied for a license to offer its apps and services known as Google Mobile Services, though it has said in the past that it wants to continue supplying Huawei.
Huawei can likely use an open-source version of Android without falling foul of the U.S. ban on sales to them. But Google's apps can only be used under a paid license. Huawei vaulted quickly into the top ranks of the global smartphone business in recent years with highly regarded hardware, and Europe has been a key market.
The Kirin 990 was developed by HiSilicon, Huawei's chips unit, based on blueprints from British chip designer ARM Holdings, owned by Japan's SoftBank .
