Richard Yu, Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO, has recently been interviewed by the media company Bloomberg. Mr Yu was not only kind enough to officially confirm the Mate 10 smartphone, but also shared his (official) opinion about the phone. When asked to comment on the Huawei Mate 10, Yu said that he believes that Mate 10 will be more than a competition for the upcoming iPhone 8. Among the pros of Huawei device, Yu listed a large, long-life and fast-charging battery, full screen display and improved cameras.It is not much, I know, but it is all you Huawei fans have at the moment.

Unlocked BlackBerry KEYone is now out of stock in Canada
Canadians seem to have jumped the carrier-free like KEYone like… like something someone likes very much, because it has only been a few days since they became available at Canadian Walmarts and stores are already out. Now comes the part of the news where I am supposed to sugarcoat the shortness of the subject by telling you the story of BlackBerry KEYone but no, I will pass. I will just say that the exact date of a new shipment coming to Canada is unfortunately not known but bound to be soon. KEYone’s current price in Canada is CAD ...
Sony Xperia XZ1 spotted on Geekbench
Device with a model number G8341, which most believe to be Sony Xperia XZ1, has hit the Internet again, this time via Geekbench. It confirms what we already knew about the phone, namely the 4GB of RAM and Snapdragon 835 CPU. We are still not sure whether the phone’s OS will be Android 7.1 or, as was rumoured before, Android O. If other sources of info are to be believed, G8341 will sport 5.2′ screen that displays 1080p resolution and a price tag of $860. Tweet Vote on ...
Google Instant Search is dead
Hurray! Or not, if you like it. I am the one writing this article, though, and I utterly hated Instant Search, so deal with it. Again, hurray!Introduced to Google in 2010, Instant Search is a feature that you all know, even if not by name. You know how, when typing something into a Google Search Engine, suggestions used to appear under the text window, changing depending on what you type further on? That was the Instant Search. Spearheaded by Marissa Mayer, vice president of search and user experience back in the day, Instant Search’s point was to save the user’s time by ...
Chinese government forces its muslim minority to use spyware
It seems that China believes all of its Uyghur muslim minority to be possible terrorists. Chinese government have just passed a bill which forces all the Uyghurs – denizens of the north-western province Xinjiang – to install an official spyware application on their mobile devices. Putting technical details aside, that app’s job will be to feed the government with much of the owner’s private information – all of his or her WeChat history, their Weibo activities and more. If someone tries not to install the app, they will be facing a ten days of lock-up (and ...
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Emperor, or Note 8 might get a special edition
News comes from an anonymous South Korean leakser. According to her or him, Samsung will release a smartphone called Note 8 Emperor. This will be an improved version of normal Note 8, having 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64GB ROM. The news is in no way confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt (somehow I don’t like this phrase). Even if it does come out, it may as well be an Asian-exclusive – after all, Galaxy S8’s special edition was. Tweet Vote on HN ...
Lenovo P2 is OFF sale in the United Kingdom
Lenovo P2, one of (so I heard) UK’s most famous budget phones, is not being sold anymore. P2 was a TechRadar exclusive, and the carrier has recently informed the public that it will not continue selling the device. After being available for half a year for the price of £199.99, only two units of the phone are left in the whole of Great Britain (!). These two units can be bought from Amazon for a much less considerable price of £360.Taking even a budget phone off the shelves after mere six months seems like a rash thing to do. Then again, perhaps it happens more often than I ...

Both devices are already available in the US, but now they will come out to all major carriers in the country. Every model will pick up the same name, too (J3 or J7), because they used to be sold under different names, which created quite some confusion.
