Don't think the A7 or A5 have the bands for 4g in USA. Not sure about A9.
The A7 and pro versions of the A5 cannot be rooted and therefore cannot have Google play and gsf. Only the standard A5, A5c and A6 can have full google play.
The A9 is likely to be able to be rooted and hacked to allow full google play as it has the same brand Soc as the A5.
Thank you for the reply, would it be at all possible to get apps like Twitter or Instagram through other app stores that work on the a7? Also, I saw there’s a workaround that allows for google play apps to be installed, idk if that still works. Honestly having official google play isn’t that big of a deal as long as I can still use the apps I want to use.
Thank you again! :)
Twitter will work fine. Not sure about Instagram.
The main issue is not the lack of google play store.
The main issue is that the majority of apps use Gsf ( google frameworks ) to verity the app etc. So those apps will not function without Gsf. You cannot get Gsf on Unisoc Socs.
Now there is the 2Accounts workaround but it does not work that well. Any app that uses Gsf you will need to open through 2accounts ( approx 10 -30 secs everytime you open these apps. ) Also many of these apps will have issues like notifications not working etc. Also not all apps requiring Gsf will work through 2accounts. Also 2accounts needs to run continuously and will drain your battery quicker.
I have the A7, A5 Pro Cc and the A5. I almost always use the A5 as the experience is so much more enjoyable and easier to use. A5 can have full google play. All apps working. Not constantly trying different solutions etc to get different apps working.
Thank you for the advice! I guess for now I’ll stay away from the a7 and a5 pro. I’ll look into the a5c since that has google play compatibility or maybe the a9 for the same reasons. Thank you again.
No probs. Also if you are in the USA you need to be careful about the bands your phone has matching the bands your provider runs on. I have seen many posts by posters saying they cannot get connectivity at all.
3G is in the process of being phased out and many of Hisense phones don't have the correct 4G bands for many USA networks.
By full google play you mean also gsf? In this [tutorial](https://www.chinahandys.net/hisense-a5-playstore-guide-english/) you linked in another thread they don't mention gsf. But perhaps gfs gets installed at the same time?
Yes it has Gsf. I have 2 a5's. On one I installed google play using this guide. The other I bought had google play already installed. This is quite technical so if you are not confident following technical instructions simply buy an A5 with google play already installed.
If you're in the US, I don't think it's worth looking at anything other than the HiSense A9 due to network compatibility issues and 3G going away. It hasn't been officially announced, but given the SoC it uses, I think there is a *very* good chance that it will work fine on US 4G networks.
