Political interests that effectively take Huawei's smartphone business out of the game will damage the brand's ability to sell phones outside of China, giving Samsung a chance to prop up its position in Europe and the rest of the world. You can use it from either side while folded, and it opens into an 8-inch tablet. It isn't clear if Huawei uses Google's software to run the Mate X, or if it needs Google's support since the Mate X isn't being sold yet. There's also a possibility Huawei may not feel it needs Google's Android support to keep its business afloat.
Huawei was also reportedly working on its own app store to compete with Google's Play store. That means Huawei will be able to continue selling current phones and tablets with Android support, such as the P30 and P30 Pro. Huawei's Honor brand -- which includes the Honor 20 Lite -- will be affected by the executive order. Huawei isn't cut off from Android completely.
Google's partners get early access to Android builds so they can make the operating system work as smoothly as possible for buyers. Samsung remains an early-access partner. The Trump administration's move against Huawei is the latest salvo in a series of escalating security concerns that stretch back to , when Congress warned carriers against using Huawei's networking equipment over fears that Huawei could use this infrastructure to spy on American companies and citizens for the Chinese government.
The fact that companies can be used to damage foreign governments highlights tech companies' potent role in politics.
Samsung has the most to gain while Huawei's access to Google is still up in the air
The action to block Huawei's access to Android is considered by some to be a bargaining chip in the US' increasingly tense trade relationship with China. Last year Trump used a similar tactic against Chinese electronics giant ZTE , crippling its business. Trump lifted that ban last August. Samsung sells displays and chips alongside mobile devices, but isn't a player in networking equipment.

Samsung's gains might be short-lived if the ban against Huawei proves temporary. While skiing a few weeks ago, I found myself having to enter my password, as Face ID would not recognize who I was even after I removed the goggles. The second time I needed the phone, I went straight for the password, but by the time I touched the screen, the iPhone authenticated me.
It retrained itself when the previous passcode was punched in. With all that in mind, I would never go back to fingerprint phones , or devices with 2D face recognition.
Is Samsung better than Apple?
We all want to see iOS and macOS improve, and gain a few more novel features. Of all the phones that I mentioned earlier, only the Pixel is guaranteed to get software updates when Google releases them. And even the Pixel is only guaranteed to receive new Android releases for a few years. I could never get a phone, no matter how good it looks, and then wait around for the smartphone maker and carrier to green light a major Android update that Google released months ago.
Wrapping up, I have to add that no matter the smartphone or operating system, each experience is unique to the user. Everything else I could get on the other side — a screen design better than the notch , cameras that Apple is probably trying to outdo with the next iPhone, bigger batteries, faster charging, and even 5G — has to do with hardware.
