Huawei has confirmed that it is launching the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 in the country later this month. We had previously told you about this expected launch and it looks like the device might be here any time from now.
The announcement comes in the midst is a strained relationship between Huawei and the U.S that led to the company being restricted from using Google’s Android OS. This ban basically meant that Huawei’s future smartphone ecosystem won’t be able to access any Google services, including Gmail, Play Store, or even YouTube. Remember this ban does not affect previous Huawei devices including the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019. This also does not stop Huawei from releasing new devices in the market even at seeks alternatives should Google not reverse the ban.
