Huawei P20 and P20 Pro have passed DxOMark tests, smacks down the competition

Huawei is doing it, brah. Its two newest phones, P20 and P20 Pro, have just made it to the DxOMark benchmark and oh boy, both of them just trumped the competition. Samsung Galaxy S9+? Ten points below P20 Pro. iPhone 8 and X? Even further behind. The moral of the story is, at least as far as DxOMark is concerned, that Huawei wins and all other phonemakers should feel bad. US customers, with that country’s ban on Huawei products, probably already do.P20 and P20 Pro still have not appeared in stores. Depending on the country you are in, you might get some pretty sweet bonuses if you ...

BestBuy will not be selling Huawei phones in the US anymore

US government continues cracking on Huawei. AT&T and Verizon have already been told not to offer Huawei devices for sale due to the potential risk of national security breach (basically Huawei using its phones to spy on American citizens for China). Now it has told the same to BestBuy, and the retailer listened. While it still sells Huawei phones at the moment, BestBuy will not replenish its inventory with new units, and will cease selling them altogether in a few weeks. You can still get one from Amazon, Newegg and Microsoft Stores, but it might only be a matter of time before these ...

Leaked sample pictures by Huawei P20

The above are three leaked pictures that have been said to be made by the upcoming Huawei P20 smartphone. Other than the look at a nice chick and the hilarious position she is standing in in the first one, the pictures portray P20’s impressive camera capabilities. Pictures are sharp and brightly coloured, made by – at least according to phone’s leaked specification – a 12mpx camera in 2960 x 3952p resolution. As rumours go, P20’s camera is also supposed to be equipped with some kind of extra AI capabilities like item recognition and such. ...

Huawei P9 and P9 Plus to receive Android 8.0 Oreo update soon

In a bit of an unexpected turn, Huawei’s P9 and P9 Plus smartphones have been said to soon have their operating systems updated to 8.0 Oreo. The turn is unexpected because both phones are now two years old and Huawei has so far been quiet on updating their OS’. Now, though, there is an (unofficial) word on one of Huawei’s officials saying that, indeed, P9 and P9 Plus will receive the abovementioned update in the near future. No exact date has been given, but people wiser than me believe that ”future” means ”sometime this year”. Good, I ...

Judging by the picture, smartphone will also have an 18:9 aspect ratio, rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and a 3.5mm headphone jack (yaay).The device should be officially announced by Huawei soon.
