Huawei's Honor brand will release the Honor V30 series smartphone equipped with HMS (Huawei Mobile Service) to the European market next week. This will also be Huawei's first smartphone pre-installed with HMS, ifeng.com reported citing people familiar with the matter.
Honor V30 was listed on the domestic market at the end of last year as Honor's first 5G smartphone.
The Honor V30 series launched for overseas markets will use HMS (Huawei Mobile Services) instead of GMS (Google Mobile Services). This is also the first pre-installed HMS officially launched by Huawei since it was added to the "Entity List" by the United States in May last year.
After Google responded to the US government's "Entity List" call and banned the provision of GMS services to Huawei mobile phones, Huawei accelerated the ecological construction of its own HMS.
HMS Huawei Mobile Services is a collection of Huawei cloud service open capabilities. It is a cross-platform, cross-device service. The official launch of HMS means that Huawei has complete ecological capabilities.
Just a few days ago, Turkish Telecom has signed an agreement with Huawei to use Huawei's mobile service ecosystem to serve its customers.
For Huawei, this is the first step for HMS services in overseas markets.
Not only that, operators in Turkey are also expected to sell 1 million smartphones with Huawei mobile service applications in 2020.
Honor originally planned to release this news and other products at the MWC conference. After the conference is cancelled, Honor will still hold a separate media event for this important release.
