Android phones without Google services1
“Any Android phone” above means one with Google Mobile Services, which this site assumes of an Android phone unless a source says otherwise. For the phones below a source does, and the verdicts change: each is the rule’s, quoting the maker’s reason where a watch will not set up.
Huawei Mate X6
No Google Mobile Services. GSMArena's verdict: "Missing Google Mobile Services (GMS) means some Android apps will not work no matter what". Its software page (review-2781p4) adds that Google apps run only inside the GBox virtual machine. Huawei's UK spec page lists the OS as EMUI 15.0 and does not mention Google services. 3rd partyGSMArena — Huawei Mate X6 review: the competition, our verdict, pros and cons, retrieved 2026-09-22
