"There are many Android users in Europe and Southeast Asia. They are so accustomed to these Google applications on top of Android phones," Huawei quoted Joy Tan, vice president of public affairs for United States, on Sunday.

"We can continue to use the Android platform because it is open-source, but we cannot use the services that help apps run on it."

Google was banned from selling Android licenses to Huawei under the terms of the previous US trade embargo,

 which meant that its phones could use the base open-source code but would not have access to the all-important Play Store and Google applications.

During a media interview last month, Huawei's head of consumer business Richard Yu said that if the situation didn't change with the US government, the company would start using Harmonios.
