To recap
Without Google Services many users won’t get the experience they need here due to lack of certain apps - and Huawei’s App Gallery / Petal Search can’t solve everything. In terms of hardware, however, this flagship is still one of the most advanced on the market - particularly on the camera side, where it’s mighty impressive.
