    Huawei is at the center of a storm, barracked by sanctions that block it from working with its key partners. Its latest handset, the Mate 30 Pro, runs Android, Google's operating system, but can't access Google's services, so no Google Play, Google Maps, or YouTube. But Huawei is putting a brave face on all this, saying that the prowess of its cameras will make you forget all about Google. The Mate 30 Pro has some of the best cameras ever found on a smartphone, as well as one of the most powerful mobile chips out there. It has a gorgeous wrap-around display and speakers that will fill a room with sound. But is any of that technical brute force enough to make you forget about all the things you'll be giving up?
