Switching to the Mate X7 but worried about going without Google services? In Indonesia, the need for everyday apps remains highâfrom banking and ride-hailing to streaming. Based on the reviewerâs points, there are three practical routes recommended: download via AppGallery, move on to a curated thirdâparty AppMarket if the app isnât available directly, or use the web version. Not a perfect solution, but enough to stay productive without tinkering with the system.
A synthesis of gadget reviewer opinions highlighting key strengths and trade-offs.
The safest and most practical approach for the Mate X7 without Google: start with AppGallery, move on to curated 3rdâparty, and close the gaps via the web. Best for: Users ready to adapt to the app ecosystem Camera hunters and premium foldable design seekers who want to stay productive Multitaskers who maximize MultiâWindow Not ideal for: Users who need Google services to run natively Users who demand long-term OS update guarantees Final verdict: Worth it if youâre comfortable with AppGallery/curated 3rdâparty and web options as your daily routine.
Many users are accustomed to Google Mobile Services. On the Mate X7 (EMUI 15), the reviewer recommends three routes to keep things running smoothly: AppGallery as the main gateway, a curated thirdâparty AppMarket when an app isnât available directly, and the web version as a last resort. This approach is fairly safe and convenient without complex tweaks, with the caveat that there are some limitations to be aware of. Below are the concise steps the reviewer recommends to make dayâtoâday transition smooth. 1) Start with AppGallery 2) Continue via thirdâparty AppMarket (curated by AppGallery) 3) Close the gaps via web versions 4) Maximize EMUI 15 multitasking 5) Big-screen productivity and Display Out 6) Privacy features when sharing your screen 7) File transfer and camera outputs From the reviewerâs points, the suggested path is consistent: prioritize AppGallery, use curated 3rdâparty when needed, and use web versions for Google services. This approach is acknowledged as not ideal, but sufficient for most daily needs without system modifications. Worth it if you prioritize cameras and premium foldable design, and are comfortable running a mixed ecosystem (AppGallery + curated 3rdâparty + web). Not recommended if you require native GMS without compromise. The reviewer suggests solutions via AppGallery (which can direct you to curated thirdâparty AppMarkets) or using web versions. Not a perfect solution, but good enough as a workaround. Following the route provided by AppGallery is considered safer because itâs already been filtered by AppGallery, compared to searching for other sources yourself. The reviewer notes that mobile banking apps are already on AppGallery, so check and download from there first. Use the web versions. If thereâs a solution in AppGallery that leads to curated 3rdâparty, you can follow that route. Without Quick Share, the reviewer suggests alternatives like Local Send for file sharing. Brief wrapâup: With the AppGallery â curated 3rdâparty â web route, the Mate X7 remains practical for everyday use. The key lies in setting the right expectations and making the most of the foldableâs multitasking features.
