"How is Huawei's unique HMS?" -I tried the comfort with the latest model

Huawei develops a variety of lineups such as smartphones, tablets, and smart watches.It is also popular with Japanese users due to performance and cospa, but due to the US -China friction, recent models are their own "Huawei Mobile Service (HMS) instead of" Google Mobile Service (GMS) "provided by Google.Did you know that?

It's easy to think, "Isn't it possible to use Google services?"I tried the latest smartphone and tablet of the company just sold and checked the comfort.

What is HMS unique to Huawei?

What are "Google Mobile Service (GMS)" or "Huawei Mobile Service (HMS)" in the first place?

Many smartphones and tablets currently on sale use Android for the OS, but it is equipped with Android customizable, such as the terminal manufacturer compensated for the necessary functions and adding a unique user interface.There is.The same is true for Huawei terminals.

The reason is that the raw Android itself is equipped with only the minimum necessary functions such as telephone and email.In order to make it easier to use as a smartphone or tablet, it is necessary to install functions and services such as application stores and web browsers."GMS" and "HMS" are compiled by the functions of the plus alpha.

Google will provide "GMS", including the app store "Google Play Store", the e -mail application "Gmail", the web browser "Google Chrome", the video service "YouTube", and the map application "Google Maps".Contains various apps and services.

Anyone can use Android itself because it is open source, but to use "GMS", you need to be licensed by Google.This "GMS" part can no longer be mounted on Huawei terminals due to the US -China friction.

Therefore, HMS prepared "HMS" as an alternative, and various functions such as "Huawei Appgallery" in the application, "Huawei Video" in the video application, and "Huawei Music" for music apps are implemented.。

"Huawei Appgallery" with abundant apps

So how is the app store "Huawei Appgallery (hereinafter, Appgallery)"? I decided to try it out.

When you launch "Appgallery", you will first see recommended new apps and highly evaluated apps.Once you find the desired app, tap "Install" to download it into the terminal and use it.

By switching the tabs at the bottom of the screen, it is possible to display the app by category or display popularity rankings.If you put the app name in the search field, you can quickly find the desired app.Basically, because of the operation similar to Google Play Store and iOS AppStore, if you have used these app stores, you should be able to find and install the app without much confusion.is.

In addition, apps that are not yet registered in "Appgallery" are described as "not available", and the "Add" button is displayed instead of "Installation".This means "add to a wish list", and if you add it, it will notify you when the app is available.

The lineup of apps that many people feel uneasy, but many third -party apps were available at the time of writing this article.Popular apps such as "Microsoft Office", "LINE", "Navitime", "Transfer Guide", "Tiktok", "Zoom Meetings", and "Jorte" are already supported.In addition, some point cards and video distribution services such as "Yodobasigold Point Card" and "U-NEXT" were also available.

In addition, depending on the application, such as "Facebook", it cannot be installed directly with "Appgallery" and is guided to the official download site.In that case, if you install it according to the instructions of the site of the induced destination, you can use the application without any problems.

In addition, "Appgallery" also has unique functions not found in other app stores.For example, "Quickapp".This is an application that can be executed on a browser, and can be used without installing it on the terminal."Twitter" and "Instagram" have no normal apps, but can be used in "Quickapp".Some of them, such as "Navitime", have both a regular app and "Quickapp"."QuickApp" is usually the same as the app as the app, so it starts up fast and the storage is not tight, so it is good to use it properly according to the usage scene.

"PETAL search" that allows you to search across multiple application provision systems

It is still early to give up even if the application you searched for in "Appgallery" is "not available".In some cases, you can download it directly from the site that offers the app, like the Facebook.However, it is inefficient to search around while browsing on our own.Therefore, what I want to use is "Petal search".

This is a tool that allows you to find the desired apps and services across multiple app stores and websites.If it is a Huawei official application, if it is not pre -installed, search for "Appgallery" and install it.After installation, you can use the functions from the home screen widgets and the "app search" on the web browser without starting the app.

It is easy to use, just enter the desired app name and service name in the search field and execute the search.You can search for apps distributed in "Appgallery", "Quickapp" and apps that can be downloaded on the app provider's site.

At that time, you will also search for third -party app stores that handle free Android apps.Apps that cannot be installed in Appgallery can be installed in these app stores.It is not recommended because it is not recommended, but it is out of the warranty, but if you have an app you want to use, it is worth trying at your own risk.In fact, the "Twitter" app version and the game app that were not distributed in "Appgallery" could be installed and started as long as I tried this time.

When the installed app is updated, it is necessary to update it to the latest version, but it is also easy.Switch to the "self" tab on the "Petal search" application screen and select "Download" to list the updates, so you can press the "Update" button.It is convenient to be able to update the Appgallery app and the third -party app on the same screen.

Google services are also available on the browser!

However, the app version of "Gmail", "YouTube", "Google Map", etc. can not be hit even if you search for "PETAL search" and cannot be installed.However, the service itself can be used without any problems.

In the case of "Gmail", you can use it by setting an account with the standard email application.You can create new emails and read new emails with a feeling that is not so different from using "Gmail".

Other "YouTube" and "GoogleMap" can be used on the browser."YouTube" videos can also be played full -screen playback, and maps can also be searched for routes and nearby spot searches.

If you select "Add to the home screen" from the browser menu, you can put a shortcut on the home screen, and then just tap the shortcut and display the screen such as YouTube or Google Maps directly.It's not a bad response, so it's honest that you don't have to worry too much if you don't have a dedicated app.

I think some people are watching the purchase of Huawei terminals because "GMS" is not available, but because it is originally developed based on Android, an application that can be used even if it is not distributed on "Appgallery".There were not many scenes where there were many services saying "I don't have an app!"If you have "Appgallery" and "Petal search", most use can be covered.If you want to send a comfortable smartphone life, please pay attention to the high -performance Huawei terminal.
