In the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, tech is playing a role in how we can prevent the spread. However, if you own a recently-released Huawei smartphone that lacks Google apps, you also won’t get access to the powerful coronavirus contact tracing API that Google and Apple have been working on.
Huawei’s past couple of major releases have lacked a huge selling point — Google apps. That’s a result of the ongoing situation with the US and, now, Huawei is building out its AppGallery store to fill the gap with one of its latest big additions potentially able to fill the place of Google Maps.
Smartphone cameras are getting ridiculously good which means, generally, that OEMs don’t have to lie or exaggerate how good their cameras are. Huawei, though, has been caught red-handed again using an expensive DSLR camera to exaggerate the quality of its smartphone, this time with the Huawei P40 Pro.
The latest update for the fanatic Huawei Watch GT2 is now bringing the SpO2 blood oxygen measuring feature to the LiteOS-powered smartwatch.
Due to the US government adding Huawei to the Entity List, the Chinese smartphone maker has been unable to use Google apps on its smartphones. As a result, Huawei has been building out its “AppGallery” store for devices like the P40 Pro, but Huawei still wants Google apps in that store.
Huawei has made itself a pretty big force in the wearables thanks to its Watch GT models, and now alongside the P40 series launch, there’s a new version. The Huawei Watch GT 2e delivers a more sporty design, some new health features, and more.
Huawei just launched its P40 series of smartphones and, as expected, it ships without any Google services. That includes the loss of Google Assistant, so Huawei created its own voice assistant by the name of “Celia,” with the unintended consequence of also waking nearby iPhones.
Huawei has finally unveiled the follow-up to the P30 Pro, with the P40 Pro focusing again on the camera setup but will rely heavily on the firm’s homegrown AppGallery.
Huawei has officially launched the flagship P40 Pro and P40 Pro+, with the devices offering stacked spec sheets and some interesting new camera hardware improvements.
We’re just a couple of days from the official launch of the Huawei P40 series and details keep coming out. Today, a huge Huawei P40 leak from WinFuture shows off several images of the P40 and P40 Pro, as well as confirming pricing and, unfortunately, the continued lack of Google apps.
Huawei is set to officially unveil its P40 series of smartphones this week, but that’s not stopping details from coming out. Over the weekend, another Huawei P40 Pro leak detailed several specs and features.
One of the biggest issues facing Huawei devices at present is undoubtedly the lack of Google Play Store access. Huawei has plenty of roadblocks to overcome but is now testing “AppSearch” in an attempt to get you popular Play Store apps without needing direct access.
Even with a distinct lack of availability, the Huawei Mate X is now receiving the stable EMUI 10 update on the folding smartphone.
Huawei is gearing up to launch the P40 series smartphones in just over seven days, and will also launch a refreshed and updated Watch GT 2e alongside the flagship smartphones.
Huawei has been operating for the past three months on a “general license” that gives it the ability to continue limited work with some US companies. As Huawei is still on the US Entity List and that license has just expired, the US Government has confirmed a 90-day extension that will prevent a full ban on the company.
The challenges facing Google in the wearables arena won’t instantly be solved by the recent acquiring of Fitbit, but after claiming 6% of the market share in 2019, at least it now some sort of “foothold” in the wearable space.
The Huawei P40 Pro will face an uphill struggle to gain momentum outside of China but is set for a March 26th launch in Paris.
This time last year, Huawei was passing Apple and well on its way to compete with Samsung to be the number one smartphone manufacturer on the planet. Due to its inclusion on the US Entity List for the past several months, though, Huawei has a pretty bleak outlook on 2020, expecting a huge drop in smartphone sales for 2020.
Heavy sanctions apparently can’t stop Huawei, after the firm claimed that its own AppGallery is now the world’s third-largest online app store with over 400 million active monthly users.
The Huawei MatePad Pro 5G bears an uncanny resemblance to one of Apple’s finest products. At a time when “good” Android tablets are shockingly few and far between, could this be the answer many of you have been waiting for? We’ve gone hands-on to find out.
Huawei has officially unveiled its second-generation Mate Xs foldable and MatePad Pro 5G tablet at a closed-door launch event in Barcelona.
At MWC 2019, Huawei unveiled the Huawei Mate X, a folding device that felt like the complete opposite of the Samsung Galaxy Fold. A lot has changed since then, but the Huawei Mate Xs has been unveiled to hopefully — and potentially — pick up where the original left off.
Last May, the US government placed Huawei on an export blacklist that impacted its working relationship with Google. New Android devices from the Chinese company could not be certified to run Gmail, Maps, or the Play Store. Ahead of upcoming Huawei devices, Google has issued a lengthy consumer-facing statement about the situation, as well as an advisory to not sideload its Android apps.
The US government shows no signs of softening its stance with Huawei and is now claiming that the Chinese firm has a backdoor to its mobile cell networks used by law enforcement around the world.
