Google GMS certification will be mandatory in August

As is known to all, foreign communication operators have always had strict requirements and control over suppliers, and GMS certification is one of the hard indicators. Google has announced a new requirement for android 7.0 GMS certification: starting in August 2017, Google will stop all android devices, regardless of the version, from using Google if they are not GMS certified.

What is GMS certification?

GMS is called Google Mobile Service, or Google Mobile Service, and is currently the most widely used Mobile phone standard. It is not only the core of Google's Android system, but also the driving force of Google's development and promotion of Android. Currently, Search, Search by Voice, Gmail, Contact Sync, Calendar Sync, Talk, Maps, Street View, YouTube, Android Market and other services are available. In short, GME certification is actually Google's patent certification. Only products that have passed the GMS certification have the right to use the Android system and Google's APP normally.

Why GMS certification?

The best user experience is the life of the product and the life of the brand. In order to improve customer satisfaction and ensure that the manufactured android devices have good compatibility and stability, Google means that products without Google GMS certification are not allowed to use the full set of Google mobile services and cannot print the relevant Google android logo. Therefore, GMS certification is the best way for enterprises to enter the market faster, obtain Google authorization and improve customer experience.

If the product does not pass the GMS certification, it will be affected that the product cannot use the logo of Google, cannot legally use the Google mobile service, and will be detained by the customs.
