This phone is a shocker. I knew bout the Android/Huawei debacle going in and was happy to side-load the important Apps. My issue is with basic operation. Navigation is a nightmare, the screen stays active during calls leading to multiple calls and a rogue screen and my photos are stuck in the phone with no usb access. I dont care to spend hours on Google to try and figure stuff out that should work from the bat.
Please don't do this to yourself!!!

I own this phone. It is extremely good for gaming for it's price. Installing GMS on this is extremely easy, all you need is just to downgrade your EMUI version from 10.1 to 10.0, Install Googlefier and then you have GMS!
i was using some models from huawei up to mate 20 pro, the processor became week, i went to a shop, they suggested me this model nova 7i, I have very bad experience, i copied (phone clone application from nova 7i itself) all from mate 20pro there is none of application working except contact messages etc. its useless phone, dont go for it (huawei any model)

6.4 inches sized phone is a nonsense, plus the weight and it's a brick.
I have 7 inch tablet and it's about the same size, wouldn't imagine carrying that in my pocket, just no.

google play services is not a downside to this phone, on android you can do almost anything you want, so installing google apk apps shouldnt be a matter of discussion, its waaaaaay simple
I don't google as a problem from the phone, just have to figure out how to get those google apps into your phone, by just using common sense you will get it right, I don't understand why people are busy complain about google service, there's always a way around everything, I personally like the phone a lot and its a great challenge to for not having google services course I like challenge, that's why I like it even more

I've been using this phone for 2 months and it is great. I do have an issue with some of the apps, but it is fast as a flagship!! I use the phone 6+ hours a day and I charge the phone once in 2 days so that is a huuuge +. The camera is great. All in all I love this phone and I do recommend it.
Anonymous, 10 Aug 2020for the P40 can't you download google and play store and so forth? or just clone the app... moreNo. Bummer. Im sending my P40 Lite back. Just got it today. Had no idea that couldn't get Google on it. What a crock. My old P20 was crushed under the car, so there is now no way to get my contacts and apps ported across as I'd used Google drive to back up. Total blow out. Fix this problem Huawei!

And after you manage to install it, it is working just perfectly. You doesn't avoid your garantion, no need for rooting it. And the OTA updates is working just perfectly. The only downside is that after factory restore you will have to go through the same process to get the play services back.
