The month of October is packed with new smartphone releases, and one to look forward to is the Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. We’ve already seen some leaks of the company’s upcoming releases, but today a new set of leaks has revealed new details and even a new product.
The Huawei Y9 is one of a number of devices from the Chinese brand that is aimed directly at the more affordable end of the market. There are definitely some compromises that help this phone get into wallet-friendly territory, but overall it’s a pretty decent option for an Android phone under $250.
Even though Huawei’s second lineup of Wear OS smartwatches wasn’t as big of a hit as the first generation, the company isn’t done with smartwatches just yet according to a new interview…
Huawei’s IFA 2018 hasn’t resulted in too many hardware announcements, but as we look forward to the debut of the Mate 20 series in October, Huawei has just launched some new color options for its popular P20 family.
Yet more announcements from IFA arrive on our lap, with Huawei announcing its mid-range Mate 20 Lite sometime before the official Mate 20 announcement — which is set to be revealed this October. This relatively affordable entry-level device will go on sale for £379 this September in the UK and selected European markets.

Most Android flagships today pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset, but Huawei might be the new king of the hill. Today at IFA 2018, Huawei unveiled its in-house Kirin 980 chipset and it packs a huge punch.
Advertising can often be deceptive, and it’s no different for smartphones. Once in a while, someone gets caught trying to play tricks in smartphone ads, and Huawei has done this multiple times. Recently, an ad for the Nova 3i was given a bit more context, and the result is pretty embarrassing for Huawei.
There are a few ongoing trends in the smartphone industry nowadays, and Huawei’s P20 family embraced pretty much all of them. Now, with its upcoming Huawei Mate 20, the company seems to be bucking a lot of those trends with a refined approach…

Huawei makes some great smartphones, but the company’s software has been an issue for a while. Especially for developers, these devices have caused a lot of headaches. This week, popular app VLC media player has decided to blacklist Huawei smartphones due to how those devices affect the app.
Huawei’s Android smartphones don’t lack when it comes to performance, and with an upcoming update, the company is promising even better performance on over a dozen of its devices.
Chinese smartphone companies have been under a lot of scrutiny this year by the US government, and Huawei has seen massive blows to its plans in the States because of that. Now, the US government is apparently pressuring Google to “reconsider” its relationship with the company.
Android tablets are supposed to be dead, right? Google sure seemed to think so, but if you’re still in the market for a slate running on Android, Huawei has good news for you – the MediaPad M5 series is coming to the US starting today.
Huawei may be struggling to gain any traction in the United States, but worldwide, it’s still one of the biggest smartphone makers on the market. That’s for good reason, too, as the company makes some fantastic devices. This year, the company’s first big flagships are the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro.
While Huawei’s smartphones are usually far from perfect, these devices had some notable advantages from the moment they were announced. Now, I’ve spent a few weeks with the P20 Pro in my pocket, so let’s take a closer look at it…
While the Executive Branch is warming up to Chinese companies like ZTE following the reversal of an export ban, Congress is continuing to scrutinize US companies working with China. The legislative body is now particularly focusing on a Google and Huawei partnership announced in January to push RCS adoption.
Most OEMs are pretty bad about supporting their software in the long run, but Huawei does do a pretty solid job of giving its users options. For a while now, the company has given its customers the option to request a code to unlock their device’s bootloader, but now, that program is coming to an end.
Wear OS has a new name, but it hasn’t seen a ton of new hardware lately. One of the more complete options for a while now has been the Huawei Watch 2, and today we’re getting some details on a new version of that device.
Smartphone market leader Samsung saw its market share fall 2.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of this year, reports IDC, despite launching its flagship S9 and S9+ handsets earlier than usual.
IDC does, however, note that the bulk of S9/S9+ sales will fall into Q2 …
It’s no secret that the US government is not a fan of Huawei or ZTE. Now, after disputes with both companies, the Pentagon has banned retail stores within US military bases from selling Huawei or ZTE phones after the Department of Defense stated that they could serve as a security risk.
Chinese Android OEMs have had a really tough year. Huawei was basically kicked out of the United States, while ZTE lost access to US exports. Troubles like these have been around for a few years now, and according to a new report, it seems that Huawei has been preparing for the worst case scenario.
Huawei has faced an enormous number of roadblocks as it has tried to enter the US market, especially in the past few months. Now, the company is apparently under investigation by the US Justice Department.
Huwaei’s big play to enter the US market has been going on for quite some time, but the company hasn’t seen a ton of success so far. For 2018, that turned into a trainwreck with carriers and political pressure making matters worse and worse for the company’s plans. Despite all that, though, Huawei says it isn’t giving up on the States.
