After the inclusion of Huawei in the American blacklist of Chinese companies with which they are banned from doing business, the company has lost access to future terminals of the brand, not only to Google's Play Store, but to all services of the American company. The Chinese company, as Samsung already has, has decided to bet on its own store, called AppGallery, in the new market of mobile trends.
The Chinese company, as Samsung already has, has decided to bet on its own store, called AppGallery.
Its aesthetics is very similar to the iPhone App Store, although it has different sections within the mobile trends that exist in the market.
Featured Section
Here we can see applications and games that Huawei which are selected with the best scores by thematic collections, for example. The image we see a comparison with the iPhone App Store.
Section Category
this section is very similar to Google Play or App Store. We see filters by the genre of the application, cars, communication, sports, food and drink... Within the Games category we will also have classified applications.
Main Section
In it we will be able to see the applications that have more downloads in the store.
Management Section
This section allows us to analyze the device to see what APK files we have installed, locate them, install them when we want to free up space used.
Me Section
Here we have all the information about our user, such as comments, purchase history and wish list.
As for the operation of the store, when you start it the App will make certain recommendations that it considers that may be of interest to us. As for the order in which the applications are presented, according to Huawei, it is based on factors such as popularity, number of installations, search history, ratings, comments, etc.
For the download process of the apps, unlike the Google Apple stores, you do not need to have a Huawei ID, nor be registered, to be able to do so.
Regarding the income of the companies that publish in the AppGallery, the percentage that falls on the store itself is more or less 30%, similar to the Google or Apple stores, unless particular agreements that modify this amount. The main problem we can find in AppGallery is that all the most popular applications and games are in it. Little by little companies are betting on the new store but at the moment we only have a small representation of the applications that exist in the official Google and Apple stores. In its favor say that the number of available applications is growing by leaps and bounds.
