The future of ZTE smartphones can lose applications and services Google

Recently, there was news that the US Department of Commerce banned the supply of ZTE any components of American manufacturers. First of all, this applies to Qualcomm processors. But now it became known that because of this ban, ZTE may also lose its license to use Google services.

What does it mean

According to the law, ZTE can not participate in the export of software or technology from the US, which includes a license for the software. Now, the lawyers of the Chinese manufacturer and Google are trying to solve the problem, but unfortunately, both companies declined to comment on the situation. If they fail, then in the future ZTE will simply not be able to sell its smartphones outside of China, because They will not have a Play Store app store and Google Mobile Services (GMS).

What's next

The situation with the ban, of course, not particularly affect Google, because the share of ZTE in the smartphone market is not great. And for ZTE it can turn completely. Nevertheless, you should not run ahead yet. Let's hope that the situation will be resolved and the Chinese manufacturer will be able to further produce Android-smartphones for the global market.
