After Google banned technical support for new Huawei phones using the Android mobile operating system, the world's largest manufacturer of communications devices and smartphones is looking for a solution that helps millions of mobile phone users.
Abraham Liu, Vice President of Huawei Europe, told Newsweek: “Since the United States imposed sanctions last year, US semiconductor manufacturers have been banned from supplying products.
A Huawei representative in the European Union Agency added: Our former US partners can no longer work with us, and this problem has become more difficult since August.

Liu said: We are seeing great difficulties for private customers and mobile phone owners as 90 million European users use Huawei and Google no longer works with Huawei, so Google no longer sends updates to Huawei smartphones. Run Android OS. We are still looking for a solution. .
