HUAWEI has just launched the Mate 40 Pro smartphone at its latest tech event along with a host of other interesting products.
A standout feature of the new phone is 'Petal Search', Huawei's answer to Google Search after it was banned from using Google services due to an ongoing security dispute with the US.
After US President Donald Trump labelled Huawei as a security threat and banned US tech companies from working with it, many wondered how Huawei would go on without Google's Android capabilities.
During the conference Huawei referred to the US ban as "unfair" and stressed how seriously it takes privacy.
Users were also thanked for their continued "support and trust".
The answer to the problem for Huawei has been creating its own software so it doesn't rely on Google, that's why its new phone has Petal Search, Petal Maps and the new Huawei AppGallery built in.
You can get the phone in black and silver.
