As Huawei is granted a temporary license for 90 days to continue providing Android updates, it is unclear whether it will have access to the Android ecosystem after 19 August. Nonetheless, this has not deterred local retailer Challenger from pushing the sales of Huawei devices to consumers.
Challenger has offered an assurance warranty program which includes 100% money-back guarantee for the purchase of selected Huawei phones if Google Mobile services and other selected apps cease to function on these devices within a two-year period. For selected Huawei tablets, the warranty period is one year.
The list of Huawei devices eligible for the assurance warranty program includes the Huawei P20, P20 Pro, P30, P30 Lite, Mate 20 Porsche Design RS, Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20X, Nova 3i, Y6 Pro 2019, MediaPad M5 Lite 10, MediaPad T5 10, MediaPad T3 8.0.
The assurance warranty program runs from 22 June to 31 August 2019. Do note that this program is backed by Challenger and not Huawei.
