Most people won’t like to buy an expensive phone without Google Playstore and some if its related services.

Anyway, the above is just a speculation given the fact that Huawei now have an App Gallery that comes with this new Huawei phone. I guess not using Google services has given them an alternative and maybe a Google Playstore competition is on its way. you never can tell, this world of smartphone is full of surprises.
