Will the P40 have Google apps?

In short, no, the P40 range will not have any Google apps or services. This means you won’t be able to access the Google Play store, YouTube or Gmail, as well as a lot more services. In 2019, Huawei was added to Google’s Entity list, prohibiting any US companies from working with the tech giant. For this reason, you won’t find any Google services, or US services for that matter, on any new Huawei phones. Any existing Huawei devices will still continue to receive security updates and software updates as long as they are permitted.
