According to the market research company Counterpoint Research, Huawei just overtook Apple and became second largest smartphone company worldwide. Ouchies, Apple… this was caused by particulary good sales of Huawei phones in June and July. Still, Apple may very well regain its 2nd best position soon, as iPhone 8 is set to release on September 12th.What do you think about that development? Good, bad? Just a momentary hiccup for Apple, or beginning of the new reign of Huawei? Let us ...

Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group, has recently announced that Huawei Mate 10 series phones will be revealed on October 16th. Reveal will take place on a special event in Munich, Germany. During the announcement, Mr. Yu has confirmed that the phones will be using Kirin 970, Huawei’s latest top-of-the-line CPU. He also stated that Mate 10’s will be Huawei’s first full-display phones. Seeing how 99% of full-display promises turn out false, this probably means we can hope for a phone with existing, if thin, bezels.Mate 10 series has also been rumoured ...

P9 Lite Mini is a mid-range version of the recently released Huawei P9 smartphone. While the phone was not officially revealed, perhaps because Huawei did not consider it big enough deal, leaked info states that at least one Hungarian retailer will start selling it sometime late August. Which probably means tomorrow, or the day after. Phone’s price will be an affordable €190. We have no information about P9 Lite Mini becoming available in other European countries, but it would be weird for it to be just a Hungarian release, so we will most probably see it available outside ...

Not only a picture, but also a confirmation of the October 16th as a date of reveal. The picture shows the rear side of the phone, along with a little ”beyond the galaxy” jab at a certain smartphone producer. That is very little, but more info will probably start leaking any day now.That is all. Tweet Vote on HN ...

… and not much more, honestly. Mate 10’s official video focuses on the device’s camera capabilities. We have not learned all that much about these, too. What we do know for sure is that the phone will possess a dual camera setup, colour 12mpx + monochromatic 20mpx, that will support sharp 2x zoom and chosing the point of softening. Everything listed below is based on leaks and rumours:– 6.1′ display, QHD,– f/1.8 aperture,– 6GB RAM, 64GB ROM, microSD card slot,– Kirin 970 CPU, 8-core,– Mali G71MP12 GPU,– 4000mAh battery.We will ...

CEO of Huawei believes that Mate 10 will be the main competition of the upcoming iPhone 8 smartphone. We will see whether or not this will be true; right now though we can get an idea of whether or not will one be prettier than the other.The picture above comes from a chinese website Weibo. It shows us a bezel-less phone with rear that may be made from a brushed aluminium. On this rear, both main camera and fingerprint scanner are parched in the same vertical line. This sounds all pretty nifty, but do remember that renders can lie. There have been many cases where a product, smartphone or ...

Turns out that Huawei Mate 10 will be revealed to us on October 16th, Reveal is said to take place during an expose event in Monachium. Fancy. Mate 10 will not be revealed alone, though – it will have company in the form of Huawei Mate 10 Lite. We do not know how exacly will Lite differ from its brother, but it can be assumed that it will have lower specs and smaller display. Their price will differ greatly as well, which may be a good thing – $1110 for Mate 10 is quite steep, but $560 for Mate 10 Lite is a much more acceptable price*.*prices given are based on a rumour and may ...

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. I am ...

Two slightly different models have just made it through the United States Federal Communications Commission. Devices, numbered BAC-L03 and BAC-L23, will differ in the number of SIM cards supported, with L03 supporting one card and L23 supporting two. Similiarity of the devices’ numbers to BAC-AL00, which is Huawei Nova 2 Plus’ model number in China, leads us to believe that these may be the US versions of the smartphone. If that turns out to be true, Americans can look forward to getting a Huawei phone with 5.5′, 1920 x 1080p display, Snapdragon 625 CPU and a 3340mAh ...
