Parent company would still be owned by Google
Google apparently suspending some business with Huawei.

And the intellectual property would have been created/registered/licensed from a US origin.
Roll on the next version of Android for this all to become clearer.

It's quite possible that we may see a 3rd Chinese mobile Operating System as a collaboration between the other phone makers.
I don't think any chinese phone manufacturer will trust US companies to provide them with the goods and services that they want. The chinese companies will only become stronger as a result, not weaker imo.
According to this, over 42% of phone market is chinese.

Couple that to the entire developing market that is new to the phone scene and they may have enough influence to make a new OS.
Strangely it may become that the US becomes isolated as everyone adopts the Chinese operating system and the US consumers are banned from using them (ironic isn't it?)

Certainly interesting to see what happens next because other US companies could join the fray.

What's Argos rules on returns. Got an honor play 28 days ago

Having experienced the pitiful customer service at Huawei, this can only be seen as a good thing.

Oh the irony!

I was thinking about this but what would be the reason for the return? Are we entitled to future os and security updates after purchase?What's Argos rules on returns. Got an honor play 28 days ago

Some of the news reporting isn't 100% clear or contradictory. I've noticed the latest PR release from Huawei states security updates will still be provided for existing devices.
Huawei will continue security support for Android smartphones
However in the BBC news piece their expert mentions that in 'quite the near future' security updates and updated Google Apps won't be available on Huawei phones. And Android Authority is stating something similar:
As the owner of an Honor 10 (one year old to the day) it's a bit annoying but I might just bring forward upgrade plans if this going to get messy. It's a shame as it's generally been a solid phone for the money. Does also bring a new dynamic or checklist for looking at future Android devices; how likely to get banned by US Govt. and Google bar certain services.
Also seems as if other US tech companies are following suit:

EDIT: OK I get it now, Huawei will have to use ASOP once security updates reach there. It's not being reported on all sites which meant I couldn't understand how security fixes would still be applied.

Feel how I feel. Got 10 new Huawei P Smart 2019 a month or so ago for work.... Now I have to explain this

Depends if it's listed in the product information (on Argos or Huawei's site). I.e.
> 2 years of Android software updates
Or if they specifically list that you'll be able to get upgrade to the latest version of Android for x amount of time.
Yes it will be in the small print for the phone.
I think for instance Oneplus is 1 year updates, 3 years security patches. But not sure but it's definitely written somewhere.

Wouldn't be surprised if China turned round and said "Ok, you can no longer make iPhones here. KTHXBYE"

I am pretty much expecting that to happen, best way to cause an absolute storm.
Roll on £2000 iPhones !

Seriously they need to start playing the same game, would love to see them do this.
