Huawei is facing a big challenge outside of China where, as was reported in 2019, new versions of its smartphones lose access to popular applications and services including Google Play, Google Maps and the Gmail app. 

To overcome this, Huawei is launching its own version of these, including the revamped Huawei Assistant and the new Huawei Ability Gallery. It’ll be interesting to see if the big-name Southeast Asia apps will sign up for the Huawei Ability Gallery – it’ll be a crucial factor for Huawei to stand up against the competition.
