Huawei can breathe easy again. As Donald Trump announced via Twitter, the ban on interaction with Huawei will be lifted. Thus, US companies are allowed to supply Huawei again and vice versa.
Pretty positive news for users of a Huawei smartphone: Android is still available without any problems. In recent weeks Huawei ran a decent information campaign to answer all the rumors. Many believed in the end of Huawei or that Android would be turned off on the smartphone. It was also feared that Huawei smartphones would no longer receive updates. This all seems to be history now: the Huawei ban has been dissolved for the time being. It was already known last week that Chip manufacturers deliver again - by circumventing the ban.
Huawei ban over: Trump has negotiated deal
US President Donald Trump negotiated a deal with China at the G-20 summit. At the same time, a ceasefire was also discussed. Specifically, the deal includes that the USA can supply China with products again. In return, China must provide more agriculturalproproducts from the USA.
This means that Google can deliver Android again - Huawei owners no longer need to be afraid. But only if these “do not impair national security”. However, there has not yet been any other written confirmation other than Twitter.
….amounts of agricultural product from our great farmers. At the request of our High Tech companies, and President Xi, I agreed to allow Chinese company Huawei to buy product from them which will not impact our National Security. Importantly, we have opened up negotiations…

This guarantees that there will continue to be updates. The PlayStore will also remain on Huawei smartphones - that was not guaranteed until now. Overall, that now means that it was never about security - it was probably more of a power game on the part of Trump. Well, that means for the future: don't make too much dependent on the USA. Huawei will have learned this now and will continue to do so work on your own operating system. Overall, however, the USA was a loser in this suspension.
However, the short-term ban had one advantage: many Huawei smartphones have recently fallen in price. On Amazon there are numerous Huawei smartphones that are already significantly cheaper than before. In general, Huawei also benefits to a certain extent profit: even if it was rather bad attention from the media, you had it.
