Huawei Mobile South Africa said<\/strong><\/a> it will continue to provide security updates and services for all existing smartphones and tablets.<\/p>\n

This statement follows Google\u2019s announcement earlier this month that it has cut off Huawei\u2019s Android licence.<\/p>\n

Huawei has also been barred from the SD Association<\/strong><\/a>, meaning it will no longer be able to sell products which support official SD and microSD card standards.<\/p>\n

Google and the SD Association\u2019s decisions are a result of the United States\u2019 strict limitation which it imposed on its technology trade with China.<\/p>\n

While the United States Bureau of Industry and Security has issued a temporary licence<\/strong><\/a> to Huawei to retain support for its existing products, the long-term impact can be significant.<\/p>\n

Unless a deal is struck between the US and China which will see the ban on trade lifted, Huawei will have to look for a different operating system to replace Android for its smartphones and tablets.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuawei will continue to provide security updates and services for all existing smartphones and tablets.\u201d<\/p>\n
