Huawei Mate 30 series to launch on September 19: Here’s what we know so far

Huawei just announced the launch date for its upcoming flagship series. Huawei Mate 30 series will launch on September 19 in Munich, Germany. Like past Huawei flagships, the Mate 30 phones will come with Leica powered cameras.

Huawei’s launch of Mate 30 series comes at a time when the US-China trade tensions have hit the smartphone maker. Huawei Mate 30 phones are said to launch without Google’s Android OS and Google apps, according to a Reuters report. Huawei was blacklisted by the US government which led to the company being banned from using Google’s official Android licence.

The ban was partially lifted later allowing Google to provide software and security updates to existing Huawei and Honor devices. This however does not apply to upcoming devices such as the Huawei Mate 30 series, the report added. Huawei is clearly going ahead with the Mate 30 series launch despite the Android ban.
