📱 Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus are reportedly creating an alternative to Google.

These companies are reportedly working on versions of Android without Google services , including the Play Store, as a backup plan to ensure they remain operational in the event of any future issues that may arise with the US.

It already happened with Huawei, and it wouldn't be surprising to see it happen with other giants. Xiaomi, for example, has a large product ecosystem and a highly mature operating system.

While it is initially a "plan B" they are developing, it could cease to be so if they consider that, in their dominant position, they could stop depending on third parties.

I know someone who has Huawei. The lack of Google push notifications and firebase makes a lot of apps completely unusable. Many apps are not available in the Huawei store.

Shows how much the whole Android ecosystem is dependent on Google.

Yes, you can hack it.. Most people don't though.
