Huawei Technologies Co., a Chinese multinational communications technology company, has announced that mobile phone users will be able to download Bitcoin (BTC) wallets on new Huawei devices starting Friday, Bloomberg reported May 10.

Huawei is releasing BTC.com’s Bitcoin wallet in its AppGallery app store, which will be pre-installed on all new Huawei smartphones, according to Alejandro de la Torre, vice president of business operations at BTC.com. It will reportedly be the first digital currency app offered on Huawei devices.

Access to apps like BTC.com’s is limited in China as the government blocks Android’s Google Play Store and some parts of Apple’s App Store. While Chinese authorities shut down cryptocurrency exchanges and banned initial coin offerings, people can still own cryptocurrencies. De la Torre told Bloomberg:

Afaik this pre-installed app is a bitcoin cash (BCH) one and not a bitcoin (BTC) one, so people need to pay attention for this part.

I've read this news, and there are not mentioned about Bitcoin Cash, only Bitcoin.

Great news, especially for owners of smartphones of this brand) It turns out that this brand due to the introduction of blockchain technologies can be very successful  to compete with Apple.

I read another article mentioning Bitcoin cash that's why I asked people to pay attention.
However, while taking a look on the playstore, i found this :

Code:

The Bitcoin.com wallet is a simple and powerful full featured Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin Core (BTC) wallet that allows you to send and receive either currency with anyone anywhere in the world. It supports both single and multisignature wallets as well as English, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and Portuguese. It is based on the open source Copay wallet made by Bitpay.

Taking into account that there are over 150 million users of Huawei smartphones this is a great news indeed. The very fact that a Bitcoin wallet will be pre-installed on all new Huawei smartphones means that we can expect a huge breakthrough in terms of Bitcoin adoption because of this step made by Huawei Technologies.
