Google recently banned Huawei from Android and all its services like Gmail, YouTube and more after US government listed Huawei under something known as the Entity List. With the ban in place, the company will be unable to provide Google services to the customers, which is really important especially outside the Chinese market.
Though the ban has not yet come to an end, the US government decided to delay the process by 90 days, starting today. During this time, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer will be able to purchase American-products and also maintain existing networks in the US. Further, the company will also be able to provide Android updates for Huawei and Honor handsets during the 90 day time period.
With the ban being lifted for the time period, the Android license is also back. This means that Huawei can still work with Google in order to bring updates for their existing handsets. The time period is also enough for the company to work on Android Q updates for their existing flagship devices and we really hope the company makes the most out of their time.

However, the company cannot come up with a new smartphone during this period. Since the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro have already received licences before the ban, they can be launched today. Notably, the smartphones are launching in India on June 11. While the future might be safe for the Mate X as well, we don't see any other devices coming in anytime soon.
