A few days ago, the news reveals that the U.S. could ease the Huawei ban on certain levels. However, there’s a question that you guys have been asking us – “So does this means, Huawei will return the GMS suit to smartphones in the global market?” Let’s find out the answer.

The report says that Huawei could access American-made technologies if it agrees to follow U.S. commerce-made guidelines. The commerce department has come up with these new guidelines in the name of “Standards”.

However, we need to understand that commerce has not revealed any details about the allowed technologies. Yet, it does mention that these include both hardware and software stuff.

GMS?

It has various sections, for example, the chipset precision and other related software but it may also consist of Google Mobile Services (GMS). Once again, there are no specifics revealed on the key technologies shared under these new standards.

Google Mobile Services or GMS is a proprietary suite of services for Android smartphones. Different OEMs certify their models via GMS and install Google apps as bloatware or out-of-the-box Google apps.

What really happened?

In 2019, Huawei has been placed under the U.S. Entity List, which bars the firm from accessing U.S.-based or made products. These impact the product manufacturing mostly, the smartphones

The lack of the required chipset and ousting of GMS caused big in Huawei’s smartphone market growth. Instead, the company has to face a big dip in the industry.

Meanwhile, Huawei developed a new GMS rival – AppGallery for its global smartphones as Huawei Mobile Services (HMS). It has AppGallery, Huawei’s app distribution platform, and a bunch of other mobile apps that accompany with AppGallery. These are Petal Seach, Assitant, Celia AI voice, Petal Clip, Petal Keyboard, and more.

Still, the return of GMS could do the trick for your Huawei smartphone and it could run alongside HMS without any issues. That way, Huawei consumers could get a 2X user experience for sure.
