    Recently got a huawei p smart 2021 for Xmas. Love the fast charging etc. But not being able to access the play store etc is a killer.

    Can anyone recommend a phone that's better

    Xaomi etc look great.

    Had a quick look on xda developers and it doesn't seem to be the case for this model.

    May be mistaken but I definitely thought I saw a workaround on you tube

    Only on older version of the software. If it's up to date then they have it locked down.
