In September 2019, when Huawei released the new flagship mobile phone Mate 30 series in Munich, Germany, it was no longer possible to use Google’s GMS service. At that time, Yu Chengdong already stated that Huawei would provide its own mobile service HMS.

At the Huawei Developers Conference 2019, Huawei released the HMS ecosystem to the world for the first time. Huawei announced that it will fully open HMS core services, build an ecosystem with developers, and jointly bring a full-scenario smart experience to global Huawei end users.

Without GMS approval, it implies that the smartphone can’t be pre-installed with Google applications, for example, Google Search, Google Chrome, Youtube, Maps and different administrations and applications. In this matter, Huawei HMS plays a giant role in the Huawei/Honor devices.
