Back in 2019 Honor Mobile lost its access to use Google Mobile Services due to the ban placed on its mother company Huawei by the United States. But things are taking a different direction this year 2021.
Honor Mobile has broken away from its former owner (Hauwei) and now an independent body. As such, they just resumed talks with Google to start using Google Mobile services.

Future Honor Phones to Start Using Google Mobile Services
According to an interview by South China Morning Post, Honor CEO George Zhao said the company is already in talks with Google on resuming ties in the coming months.
This means that future Honor Mobile phones can start using Google Mobile Services (if the talks goes well). The implication is that Honor phones will now ship with and have direct access with Google services such as Google Maps, Gmail, and YouTube.
