And IMO it will be difficult to install it.
Boyue did not include Google Play Store, etc., in the T63 that I bought some time ago. So, not surprising that it would not be on this new device.

Although many Android apps can be sideloaded onto this device (I assume), one would have to root this new device to install Play Store & other Google apps. Rooting itself may be easy or difficult. Then, once the device is rooted, installing Google apps is its own challenge!

In time, someone may figure all this out on the Likebook Mars and post how to do it.

I'm tempted by the Mars, but I'm trying to be good. I've spent too much money on what I already have!
