![Huawei will launch a new flagship phone Mate 30]()
August 30, 2019
Huawei will launch a new flagship phone next month which may not come with Google apps as the Chinese firm faces being blocked from accessing the search giant’s software.
The Mate 30 will be showcased at a September 19 launch event in Munich, Germany.
It will be powered by Huawei’s latest processor called the Kirin 990 which is yet to be unveiled. The Mate 30 will be able to connect to next-generation mobile networks known as 5G which promise super-fast data speeds.
Huawei is pushing ahead with the launch despite being on a U.S. blacklist known as the Entity List. It restricts American firms from doing business with the Chinese company. But the tech giant has been given another 90-day reprieve under which U.S. firms can apply for special licenses to sell to Huawei.

The film features new interviews with bandmates Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts, as well as his partner in former band Faces, Sir Rod Stewart.
