Honor 50 will be first phone with Google Mobile Services

After a very long hiatus, Google’s Mobile Services is finally making its way back to Honor smartphones. The company recently confirmed that the Honor 50 will be the first smartphone to feature Google Mobile Services since 2019.

The Honor 50 is slated to launch in Europe on October 29. The company’s Twitter handle notes that Google Mobile Services will only be coming to the Honor 50 5G.

Honor 50 was instrumental in helping the brand become the third best-selling smartphone brand in China. The Honor 50, Honor 50 Pro, and Honor 50 SE were unveiled in China back in June. As of now, there is no information if the Pro or SE models will be revealed in Europe.

It is worth noting that Honor split off from Huawei last year to emerge as an independent brand. Since splitting from Huawei, Honor can use Google Mobile Services on its devices, starting with the Honor 50 5G.
