When the Huawei P30 Pro launched, the keynote talked of the ability to dual record using the fantastic zoom lens setup. That wasn’t available at launch, but via the EMUI 9.1.0.53 update, P30 Pro users can now use the dual-view video recording mode in full.
Ahead of the public release for Android 7.0 Nougat, Huawei has already prepped a beta build for the Huawei P9 which includes the latest version of Android. It’s great to see the company getting an early jump on its software updates, but the big news here is the update to EMUI 5.0 which makes things look just a bit better.
I’ve been using my Honor 5X on and off for about a week now, and my thoughts on the phone pretty much align with what everyone else is saying: The phone’s significance is not that it’s an amazingly great phone, but that it’s yet another inch toward driving down the price of good phones in general.
In the future, a “budget” phone (you know, the $150 Moto Gs of the world) will offer everything that today’s flagships tout. They will be made of metal, they will have fingerprint sensors, they will have more than capable processors, they will have great cameras, and they will have good software.
To me, the Honor 5X is our first peek at such a future. But it’s definitely not without its flaws…
Honor is Huawei’s affordable brand in Europe, and the Honor 7 promises high end design and features, but without the normally associated price tag. It’s all metal, has a full HD display and a fingerprint sensor built in. But it’s not perfect…
