The Huawei Mate 30 phone is getting a huge discount here in Singapore, that is if you can live without Google mobile services.
Google ban aside, the Mate 30 is one of the high-end phones that are priced under the S$1,000 mark. It comes with OLED display, the fastest Kirin processor right now and a triple-camera configuration that has achieved the highest DxoMark score of 121 points.

Free Gifts
Furthermore, they are also giving away a free Huawei SuperCharge Wireless Car Charger and a PU Case worth almost S$150.
That’s not all, you can earn a further 10% cashback (collect the voucher here) with Shopee for future purchases on the online marketplace, perfect for buying additional Huawei accessories such as additional fast chargers or USB-C cables.
With the additional cashback, you effectively pay only S$718.20 for the phone, which is a steal.
The cashback will be in the form of Shopee coins (see above screengrab).
Really no Google?
There are a few alternatives (with limitations) to getting Google mobile services (GMS) on your Huawei Mate 30. One of them is using Huawei HiSuite tool as highlighted in this Geek Culture article.
The other, slightly more complicated method, involves downloading some files and installing a Chinese Google Services Assistant APK file as shown in the video below.
However, one thing to note is that apps that require Google’s SafetyNet verification such as Netflix, Google Pay or banking apps will not work as there isn’t a workaround for that at this moment.
