If you’re a handsome or pretty fellow who comes to our app daily, you’d know that over in the Philippines, Huawei is offering 100% refund if their Huawei phones no longer support Google or Facebook apps. That’s a very bold arrangement, given that there doesn’t seem to be any compromise on this ban, and that Huawei’s already activating their own backup plan to launch their own OS and app store. But that’s in the Philippines and that doesn’t concern us. Now, this offer is in Singapore too, though it’s by Challenger instead of Huawei. But something seems to be amiss. Challenger Singapore, The Mini Sim Lim Square in Malls Nowadays, when you need to get a, say, HDMI cable, you’ll only think of two places: Challenger or online stores. The homegrown consumer electronics chain is so popular that it has one million members under its belt: a pretty impressive number considering that Singapore’s population is at 5.6 million. And I bet you’d also know that they sell phones without contracts: a visit to any outlet would usually mean fooling around with handsets that are placed near the entrance. Now, the electronics chain is so confident about Huawei that they’re offering their own “Assurance Warranty for Huawei Devices”. Here’s what to expect. Buy Huawei Between 22 June to 31 August with a Peace of Mind Between 22 June 2019 to 31 August 2019, when you buy any Huawei devices (phones or tablet), you’ll get what is known as the Assurance Warranty for Huawei Devices. Image: hachi.tech Basically, for two years, if the Huawei device you bought couldn’t run these apps, you’ll be entitled to a 100% refund: Google Play Store, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Gallery, Chrome, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Of course the phone should be free from defects. But really that good meh? Must Run on Android? I read through the Terms & Conditions because I’m free like that, and there is one criterion that seems, erm, “impossible”: The Huawei devices (listed in item number 5 below) shall run on Android Operating System. Wait, if Google apps aren’t going to work, won’t Android be gone as well? Image: PInterest Here are the full terms and conditions on their website: (1) This “Assurance Warranty” program will run from 22 June 2019 to 31 August 2019 (“Program Period”).
