Former Huawei subsidiary Honor announced on Wednesday a phone that looks remarkably similar to the Android flagship that Huawei can’t yet launch, at least when it comes to rear camera design. Seen above, the Huawei P50 series was teased recently, with Huawei saying it’s working on making it available to buyers. The company hinted at the ongoing problems it has due to the US ban that doesn’t allow it to work with US tech companies like Google when creating devices like the Huawei P50 prototype. The ongoing chip shortage might further prevent Huawei from launching the kind of phone that should have been available in stores by now.
The sale of Honor last year is a direct consequence of Huawei being on America’s entity list. Honor has been making budget-friendly Android handsets for a number of years, including more affordable flagship options. But the US ban prevented the subsidiary from using Google’s apps on its handsets. Now that Honor is freed from Huawei, the company can resume using Google’s Android version in international markets, complete with Google apps. Honor confirmed that the Honor 50 Pro and Honor 50 would both support Google apps this year.
