Mate 70 Serie: Huawei ohne Google – Meine Erfahrungen und Tipps

Hey Leute! Let's talk Huawei Mate 70 series – specifically, living without Google. Yeah, I know, it sounds kinda rough, right? But hear me out. I was super skeptical at first. I mean, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube… those are like, my digital lifeline! Switching felt like jumping off a cliff.

The Initial Shock: No Google, No Problem? (Spoiler: Initially, Problem.)

My first experience with the Mate 70 Pro was…well, let's just say disorienting. I'd been a loyal Android user for years, so the absence of Google apps felt like missing a limb. Finding my way around with Huawei's Petal Maps was a learning curve – steep, I tell you! Getting used to Huawei's own app gallery instead of the Play Store felt… weird. Like going to a new supermarket and having no idea where anything is. Total chaos! I even accidentally ordered five kilos of potatoes instead of one because the interface was so different! (True story. Don't judge).

I spent the first few days frantically searching for workarounds, feeling like a total tech dinosaur. It was frustrating, especially trying to use apps I was used to. The frustration was real. I almost threw the phone against the wall, seriously. But, honestly, after the initial meltdown, I had to embrace the change.

The Huawei Ecosystem: It’s Not So Bad!

Okay, so I'm not gonna lie. Huawei’s ecosystem is different. It’s not a direct replacement for Google, but they've come a long way. Petal Maps, while initially a little clunky, actually grew on me. Sure, the street views aren't as comprehensive as Google's, but I learned to rely on alternative navigation strategies.

Huawei's AppGallery is constantly improving, too. While it lacks some of the big-name apps you’ll find on the Play Store, it has a surprising number of popular and useful apps and you can use APKPure to download almost anything if you are skilled enough. I found good alternatives for most of my regularly used apps. You can use APKPure if you want to install an app that is not available on the App Gallery, however, I’d be careful before installing third-party apps on your phone.

Tips and Tricks for a Smoother Transition

Let me share some tips I've picked up along the way to make your life easier if you're considering a Huawei phone without Google services:

• Research Apps Beforehand: Check the AppGallery before purchasing to see if your essential apps are available.
• Embrace Alternatives: Be open to trying Huawei’s own apps and other alternatives. You might be surprised by what you find!
• Learn to Use APKPure (carefully): This is a good last resort when an app isn't available on the AppGallery but it is essential that you know what you’re doing before you start installing third-party apps on your phone.
• Be Patient: It takes time to adjust to a new system. Don't get discouraged!
• Ask Questions! Don’t hesitate to contact Huawei's customer support if you have issues.

Final Thoughts on the Mate 70 Series

The Mate 70 series, while missing Google services, offers a compelling alternative. The camera is phenomenal (seriously, stunning photos!), the performance is smooth, and the overall design is elegant. It's a totally usable phone. Would I recommend it to everyone? Maybe not. It really depends on your tech needs and comfort level. But if you're willing to explore outside the Google ecosystem, the Mate 70 series offers a solid alternative with a lot of pluses. Just remember to manage your expectations!

So, there you have it – my very honest, slightly chaotic, and hopefully helpful experience with the Huawei Mate 70 series without Google services. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
