HUAWEI resellers in the Philippines allay worries about Google apps with refund policy
A lot of people are worried about Google support on HUAWEI’s devices with the imminent US trade ban. Most of them are concerned about whether whether they can still use the Play Store once the ban sets in. To put at rest these concerns, a group of 30 HUAWEI retailers and dealers in the Philippines are offering a refund if the HUAWEI smartphones sold by them can’t run Google or Facebook-owned apps in the future.
The promotion is apparently valid from 15th June until 31st August 2019, promising that any phones bought within this period will be guaranteed for at least two years of Google apps, or they will refund your money. The devices eligible for this promotion are:
- HUAWEI P30 Pro
- HUAWEI P30
- HUAWEI P30 Lite
- HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro
- HUAWEI Mate 20
- Porsche Design HUAWEI Mate 20 RS
- HUAWEI P20 Pro
- HUAWEI P20
- HUAWEI P20 Lite
- HUAWEI Nova 3
- HUAWEI Nova 3i
- HUAWEI Nova 2 Lite
- HUAWEI Y Max
- HUAWEI Y9 Prime 2019
- HUAWEI Y9 2019
- HUAWEI Y7 Pro 2019
- HUAWEI Y6 Pro 2019
- HUAWEI Y6 2018
- HUAWEI Y5 2019
- HUAWEI Y5 Lite 2018
- HUAWEI M5 Lite 10
- HUAWEI M5 Lite 8
- HUAWEI M3 Lite 8
- HUAWEI T5 10
- HUAWEI T3 7
HUAWEI has reportedly told Revu that this is an initiative by the retailers, rather than one backed by HUAWEI themselves. It does definitely give HUAWEI fans a boost of confidence though. HUAWEI Germany has stepped up to respond to the rumors about the future of HUAWEI smartphones and PCs, but this move by Filipino resellers is really about putting their money where their mouth is.
Pokdepinion: I wonder if Malaysian distributors will back HUAWEI like this.
