The new Huawei 30 Mate series launch event was held in Munich, Germany on September 19th, in which the company’s 5 new smartphones were unveiled: the Huawei Mate 30, Huawei Mate 30 Pro, Huawei Mate 30 5G, Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G, and Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design. Because of the US ban on Huawei products, however, these phones will launch without having any Google apps pre-installed. In this article, we’ll show you how to easily install the Google Play Store app, and more.

The new Huawei Mate 30 series will launch without any Google apps, which is going to annoy a lot of Android users, as they will not have the ability to use the Play Store, or even Gmail.
