Unfortunately, the security block against doing this on the Huawei P40 series is total it fails to enable the services, as it is an uncertified and unlicensed device.

Several, including myself, have even tried various unofficial workarounds to bypass the restriction and install the Google Mobile Services via sideloading - because they cannot break this habit.

All have said that not having access to the Play Store and the Google apps (such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Youtube, Google Maps, Google Photos, Google Voice, Google Hangouts, Android Auto) is a deal-breaker.
I've spoken to a few other writers who have been on the review chain for this product.
It just has one serious flaw: It has no Google Mobile Services or the Google Play Store on it. In essence, everyone agrees the hardware is fantastic, and it is easily on par with what Samsung recently released with the S20 series in terms of raw technical achievement and the component bill of materials on the device. The reaction to the device among the technology press has been pretty much universal. But my overall opinion of the device is it's nothing short of a technological marvel and a magnificent showcase of the company's ability to produce industry-leading, value-added mobile hardware. Many other publications and much more detail-oriented mobile technology writers have already done a thorough job of looking at this product from a nuts-and-bolts standpoint. I am not going to get into the minutiae of the hardware and its overall performance. I have been lucky enough to have had access to the UK and EMEA version of the P40 Pro for about a week, and I've been using it heavily as my primary Android device. These US restrictions haven't stopped Huawei from releasing its products in other regions - such as Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America - under the Huawei and Honor brands. American companies have been mostly unable to do any business with Huawei in any substantial way, which includes the sale and exportation of components and software since it was added to the US Commerce Department's entity list, and the Trump administration has campaigned to turn Huawei and other companies that have relationships with the Chinese government into pariahs. Of course, you won't see this device released in the US. MatePad 11: A capable and versatile mid-range HarmonyOS tablet The 7 best foldable phones: Who leads the pack?
