Yes, via the app gallery, installing a specific application allows you to operate the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra by running Google Play on it. Some features such as Google Maps’ map history and Android Auto might not be fully functional or optimally perform when applications are accessed via Gbox.

i find that todays phone chips are so advanced that we don't even feel the diference. As a Huawei p50 pro user i can say i am verry happy with my phone, i run my anderoid apps trough APK Files and Gbox and until now never had a issue.

it's sad to see so many verry good products from Huawei suffer still because of the ban. But I am a fan since their p20 line and i will stay with them.

My Huawei mate 50 pro now has Android Auto. It had it for about 1 year but required cable. Now after updating to EMUI 14.2 I have AA wireless (Bluetooth ed). I am sure you will be OK with Huawei Pura.

Huaweiblog, a german fansite apparently managed to get android auto on the pura 70 line running.

to be honest I'm kinda tempted to switch from my vivo x100 pro to the pura 70 ultra in brown.

The camera on the vivo is great but it kinda annoys me that I often have to set the fokus manually to get the results I want. I don't care about mobile gaming and you can even run native google services without gbox on it already.

even who needs google, I don't know why, petal maps are much better, e-mails work, and I always install You Tube, why would I pay for a stupid application 10e a month, and if I need to, I won't even start YouTube, there are always alternatives for Android, like revanced ,poor thing are those who have an iPhone, there is nothing free there
ie's performance is also nonsense, which shows how many generations behind it is if everything works well and smoothly, and it has the best cameras of almost all newer phones with better processors,,, and I don't believe that people do computer tasks that need everything to fly somewhere. people use common networking and messaging applications

Android Auto I believe would work if you was to root and make Android Auto a system app , as I have done this before on other China ROM phones where Android Auto normally does not work , but of course that would open you up to other potential issues with banking apps etc

Hey Chris, nice to see you with a Huawei phone review after a long time.  It's great to see Huawei developing its own processors.  Although it is not the most powerful in terms of performance, Huawei can produce devices that work very stable for many years.  Nowadays, I see posts on some websites and social media such as: My Google account is blocked on my Huawei device, my WhatsApp number is blocked on my Huawei device.  Do you know about this or have you encountered such a situation?  On  Emui 14.2 version, native Google applications can be installed through an application called micro g.  I wonder if this Google and WhatsApp block happened after the micro g application.

Good to see a review of Huawei from you Chris. I miss Huawei's precense on the European mobile market. Since they left, prices from Apple and Samsung have gone up, and Samsung have stopped any real innnovation camera wise
But the price of this device is just too crazy. The outdated SOC and the the fact that it is running Android 12 behind EMUI is just bot worth the asking price.
Also, besides Android Auto not working, some apps still require GMS to work, and as far as I know, there is no workaround for this.

Only problem i have with this and any other Huawei phone (apart from price ofc), is that there isnt workaround for viber....Only (important) aplication, at least for me, where notifications dont work...
