Image
Google has now restricted Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei from using Android, cutting off the company’s license for the operating system. This, according to reports from The Verge, and Reuters, is an action taken by Google based on the US Commerce Department’s decision to place Huawei on the ‘Entity List’ which is a list of companies that aren’t allowed to buy technology from US companies without government approval. Commenting on the matter, a Google spokesperson said to The Verge,  “We are complying with the order and reviewing the implications.”H owever, this change won’t immediately impact users using existing Huawei phones.   After Google restricted Huawei’s use of Android for its future smartphones yesterday, effectively cutting off Huawei from everything Google other than the Android Open Source Project, new reports from Chinese media have come out with the claim that Huawei’s in-house operating system for its smartphones will reportedl...

Huawei has gone with 8GB of RAM in the Mate X, which will likely be plenty. Both have 512GB of storage, but only the Huawei Mate X has a MicroSD card slot for expansion. The desi...
