Don't buy a HUAWEI phone because it can't run Google apps.

Don't buy a HUAWEI phone because it can't run Google apps. That's probably what some people still say, so let's check if that's still true. I have here the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max. So let's open AppGallery. This is Huawei's own app store where you can search, download, and update apps. Let's search for Google Maps and install it. And as you can see, I'm able to use Google Maps and other apps just fine. But it's not just about Google apps. Let's also try the apps I commonly use. It's working too. And if there's an app you can't find, you can submit a request through AppGallery Wishlist. AppGallery also has a 4-layer security review that checks for malicious behavior, security vulnerabilities, privacy disclosures, and manual verification. If you run into app issues, Huawei also offers 24/7 customer support through its QR code and hotline. Now, aside from getting help when you need it, you also have features that make everyday tasks more convenient. With Smart Control, you can launch your favorite AI app with a double tap of the side button. I set up mine to open ChatGPT so I can access it without searching for it on my home screen. Of course, we can't skip the camera. The HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max features a 200MP ultra-large sensor telephoto camera. The phone runs EMUI 16, which is designed to deliver a smoother, more responsive experience as you navigate the interface and switch between apps. It also has an AI assistant called Celia. For example, I can simply say, "Hey Celia, set an alarm for 9 PM tonight, please." And it will handle the task for me. Another useful feature is Cross-OS Sharing. If you use Apple devices, you can transfer photos and files between compatible devices using Petal Interconnect, so you can keep your existing setup. Another thing I look for in a phone now is its mobile connectivity, and this thing has 5G, so let's put it to the test. The Pro Max also supports eSIM, so when you're traveling overseas, you can activate a compatible digital mobile plan without having to purchase a physical SIM card. Powering the phone is a Kirin 9030S designed to keep everyday tasks responsive, whether you're opening apps, switching between them, or gaming. There's also the anti-reflection and scratch-resistant Kunlun Glass. Huawei claims up to 70% less glare, up to 16 times stronger scratch resistance, and up to 25 times improved drop resistance. So maybe the old assumptions about Huawei are no longer true. Now, would you consider getting the HUAWEI Pura 90s series?
