Saw from google an article said sold or existingly stocks in the market won’t be affected and will continue getting security updates. So does this really affect the existing phones/models then?

Means existing phones are safe then?

What does it mean for existing Huawei devices?
Google and Huawei have already confirmed existing Huawei devices like the P30 Pro and Mate 20 Pro will be unaffected. Because Honor is a subsidiary of Huawei, the same implications would apply to its handsets, too.

Google is clear on this point: "For users of our services, Google Play and the security protections from Google Play Protect will continue to function on existing Huawei devices".

For Huawei users' questions regarding our steps to comply w/ the recent US government actions: We assure you while we are complying with all US gov't requirements, services like Google Play & security from Google Play Protect will keep functioning on your existing Huawei device.

For its part, Huawei says it “will continue to provide security updates and after sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products covering those which have been sold or are still in stock globally.”

That much is clear. However “security updates and after sales services” does not include feature updates – so it could mean Android Q features are off the cards for existing Huawei and Honor users. And that has the potential to affect sales of current handsets over the coming months.

On 20 May, the US Commerce Department granted Huawei a temporary license - effectively a reprieve from the ban. Reuters first reported on the license, noting it will expire on 19 August. It enables Huawei to "provide service and support, including software updates or patches, to existing Huawei handsets" that were available to the public on or before 16 May. This basically means Huawei can continue to trade in the US for these purposes.

The license also extends to Huawei's networking equipment, enabling it to patch any security issues.

So for now, Huawei can purchase American-made goods to maintain existing networks and provide software updates to existing Huawei handsets, though it still can't buy American components to manufacture new products without approval (which would probably be denied).

Coincidentally, Google has also now removed the Mate 20 from the Android Q beta programme.

thought it'll drop but on shopee and lazada can still see 2.6k-2.8K for mate 20 pro

realized that the backup of phone data to Hisuite takes 2-3 hours even though i've got over 20K photos on the phone, is this normal? iPhone only takes like 30 mins maximum... Any other ways to speed up things?
