A series of big networks have flared their orders for Huawei phones

Vodafone, the world’s second-largest telecommunications carrier, announced on May 22, announcing to stop accepting pre-orders for Huawei Mate 20X, a 5G network product, in the UK market.

“This is a temporary measure while the situation is uncertain regarding Huawei’s new device,” a Vodafone spokesman said.

Britain’s largest operator EE also announced a delay in the introduction of the new Huawei phone. Just last week, EE also gave positive reviews for the Mate 20X.

In Japan, the schedule for launching the P30 Lite, scheduled for late this May, is canceled.

Japan’s top telecommunications network company NTT Docomo said “considering the impact of US restrictions”, and stopped accepting orders placed before the new P30 Lite, a Docomo spokesman for good.

In addition to Docomo, other Japanese mobile network companies such as KDDI and SoftBank also announced to postpone the launch of the P30 Lite.

Meanwhile, Nikkei cited information from Taiwan’s largest operator Chungwa Telecom, who said it plans to stop importing Huawei’s new phones. Korea’s KT network is also considering suspending temporary business with Huawei products.

The moves of major carriers throughout Asia and Europe are seen as evidence of the terrible impact of the Trump administration’s executive decree in the fight against Huawei.

The US ban forced Google to remove Huawei’s new devices from its Android ecosystem. With Washington’s move to punish Huawei, Google is allowed to supply Huawei’s existing equipment for another 90 days.

Huawei phones belong to a group of 85% of smartphones worldwide running Android operating systems and using popular applications like Gmail, YouTube and Google Maps.

Being pushed out of the Google ecosystem makes Huawei devices less attractive to global consumers. These devices not only lose Google applications, but also risk losing additional third-party applications such as car calls, deliveries … which depend on Google services like Maps. Such applications will not work on a device that is not accessible to Google services.

Last year, Huawei surpassed rival America Apple to become the world’s second-largest manufacturer of smartphones (smartphones), behind only Samsung. The market outside China contributes about half of Huawei’s smartphone sales.
