I have just ordered a new Huawei Pura 70 Pro with EMUI 14 locally, which is referred to as the global set. I wanted to know how to install GSM on my new global set. I was surprised to discover a video on how to install GSM with microG in a just a few simple steps. The video producer managed to get all Google apps including Android Auto to work properly except for 2 apps - Google Pay and Google Assistant. To view video, please click link below:

hope u will enjoy ur new toy.

Google Pay and Assistant are not mission critical apps. You can still survive without them. Better rely less on Google. You nevermind know when they will come out some tricks to own Huawei users again.

Quite lehceh to decouple from Google though, not like we have great & convenient alternatives, though I would love to not be so dependent..
#5
Without Google Pay there has to be an equivalent that allows nfc payment and sad to say, Huawei Pay does not compare. Without Google in the phone I can't even pair a Sameung watch to make nfc payments, which is already an additional cost I don't wish to pay.
Whereas my dad is cash first so the lack of GPay doesn't bother him on his Mate 60 Pro.
#6
was yours a malaysian set?
#7
Another option is GBox from App Gallery. All the apps mentioned, except Google Pay and Google Assistant work with GBox too.
For mobile payment, all the local banking, payment and e-wallet apps, such as PayLah, PayNow, GrabPay, that support Scan to Pay work.
#8
Once you buy a Huawei phone, you should have a mindset of not using Google system.
#9
All phones, not just Huawei phone, that are sold in China do not have GMS on them. But Chinese tourists when travelling overseas can still use all the needed apps that relied on GMS. Have we wondered how they do that.

Apps like Gspace allows them do do that

That is incorrect, not sure about other vendors but Xiaomi China ROM have google play services preloaded
#12
Oh. I didn't know that Xiaomi China ROM has google play services preloaded. I read that most China phones have no GMS loaded.
"In fact, the vast majority of Android smartphones sold in China do not include GMS at all and have never done so. Of course, this is because Google is banned and inaccessible in China."
Android Authority

. But Chinese tourists when travelling overseas can still use all the needed apps that relied on GMS. Have we wondered how they do that.
Oh, is that a recent thing? Our China Xiaomi and Huawei phones,
in the past
, have always been able to run Google's apps. There was no Play Store, but that could be easily installed from apk if so desired.
Huawei phones, of course, no longer have GMS pre-installed... but some users' requirements are such that they manage quite well without GMS. China tourists may or may not be using apps that require GMS.

Gsm is the 2g network that SG shutdown 2017

was in china for some time and lots of local uses huawei, when they go oversea they will download a app called 出境易 which is similar to gspace.
#18
I downloaded this app. It has the google apps and I think GBox is the English version of this app.

I downloaded this app. It has the google apps and I think GBox is the English version of this app.

I have just ordered a new Huawei Pura 70 Pro with EMUI 14 locally, which is referred to as the global set. I wanted to know how to install GSM on my new global set. I was surprised to discover a video on how to install GSM with microG in a just a few simple steps. The video producer managed to get all Google apps including Android Auto to work properly except for 2 apps - Google Pay and Google Assistant. To view video, please click link below:

Google Pay and Assistant are not mission critical apps. You can still survive without them. Better rely less on Google. You nevermind know when they will come out some tricks to own Huawei users again.

Quite lehceh to decouple from Google though, not like we have great & convenient alternatives, though I would love to not be so dependent..

Without Google Pay there has to be an equivalent that allows nfc payment and sad to say, Huawei Pay does not compare. Without Google in the phone I can't even pair a Sameung watch to make nfc payments, which is already an additional cost I don't wish to pay.
Whereas my dad is cash first so the lack of GPay doesn't bother him on his Mate 60 Pro.

Another option is GBox from App Gallery. All the apps mentioned, except Google Pay and Google Assistant work with GBox too.
For mobile payment, all the local banking, payment and e-wallet apps, such as PayLah, PayNow, GrabPay, that support Scan to Pay work.

All phones, not just Huawei phone, that are sold in China do not have GMS on them. But Chinese tourists when travelling overseas can still use all the needed apps that relied on GMS. Have we wondered how they do that.

That is incorrect, not sure about other vendors but Xiaomi China ROM have google play services preloaded

Oh. I didn't know that Xiaomi China ROM has google play services preloaded. I read that most China phones have no GMS loaded.
"In fact, the vast majority of Android smartphones sold in China do not include GMS at all and have never done so. Of course, this is because Google is banned and inaccessible in China." [Android Authority](https://www.androidauthority.com/google-mobile-services-gms-3025963/)

Oh, is that a recent thing? Our China Xiaomi and Huawei phones, *in the past*, have always been able to run Google's apps. There was no Play Store, but that could be easily installed from apk if so desired.
Huawei phones, of course, no longer have GMS pre-installed... but some users' requirements are such that they manage quite well without GMS. China tourists may or may not be using apps that require GMS.
