While Huawei was already a smartphone giant, analyst numbers released today show that in the last quarter it sold more smartphones than any company in the world other than Samsung. IDC and Strategy Analytics found that smartphone sales slowed overall…

The rise of almost (but not completely) bezel-less screens have allowed smartphone makers to use larger displays on phones while barely increasing the device’s actual physical size. Nowhere is that, perhaps, more utilized than in this new Honor Note 10 from Huawei’s sub-brand. Leaked to have a large screen, we certainly didn’t expect how large it would be considering its … Continue reading

Huawei is set to launch a new flagship smartphone later this year in the form of the Huawei Mate 20. We’ve heard some rumors about the upcoming phone in the past, but now thanks to the folks at XDA, they’ve managed to get their hands on additional information about the upcoming phone thanks to firmware files obtained by @FunkyHuawei.
So what can we expect from the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro? Assuming the firmware is accurate, the upcoming phones will be powered by Huawei’s Kirin 980 chipset, which apparently will be capable of hitting maximum clock speeds of 2.8GHz. It is also said to be manufactured using the 7nm process which should result in better performance and power efficiency.
The Mate 20 is also rumored to feature a massive 4,200mAh battery which combined with the 7nm chipset should help it to last more than a day. The phone is also said to feature a 6.3-inch AMOLED display but it is unclear if the Mate 20 Pro will feature a similar-sized display or if it could feature a larger screen.
The phones are also rumored to feature 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and will also support wireless charging. There is no mention of the camera, but given that the P20 and P20 Pro differentiated themselves from each other with a triple lens camera (in the P20 Pro), maybe the same can be said for the Mate 20 Pro.
Take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we’ll have the official details in the coming months.

Samsung has confirmed that come 9th of August, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be officially revealed. So the question is with a 9th of August unveiling, when will the phone be actually released? According to a recently spotted poster over in Korea, it seems that the phone could be released on the 24th of August.
The poster in question seems to be put up by retailers who have also revealed some of the pre-order gifts that customers can expect, which includes grip rings, power banks, cases, car chargers, wireless pads, and more. We’re not sure how accurate the 24th of August release date is, but it isn’t that much of a stretch to think that it might be true.
This is because based on previous releases, Samsung typically takes a couple of weeks from the product’s announcement to the product’s release, so barring any unforeseen delays or setback or a change in tradition, the 24th of August seems like a possible release date. Safe to say that you should take this with a grain of salt for now, but like we said the official unveiling is set for the 9th of August which means that we’ll have all the official details in about a week’s time.

Last year Rocket League launched for the Nintendo Switch. However if you’ve yet to get your hands on the game, you might be interested to learn that Psyonix has since announced Rocket League: Ultimate Edition that is expected to make its way onto the Nintendo Switch on the 28th of August.
The game will be priced at $49.99 which you might have noticed costs $10 more than the regular version of the game. However this is the Ultimate Edition which means that it is expected to contain additional items such as various DLC packs for the game, which includes the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Car Pack, the Chaos Run DLC Pack, the DC Super Heroes DLC Pack, the Revenge of the Battle-Cars DLC Pack, the Supersonic Fury DLC Pack, along with Aftershock, Esper, Marauder, Masamune, Proteus, Triton and Vulcan DLC Battle-Cars.
Now you might think that the $10 price hike is because of the bundled content, but according to Psyonix, “As many of you have likely noticed, the MSRP for Rocket League Collector’s Edition is $10 more on Nintendo Switch than the same version on other platforms. As much as we tried to keep the retail price down, the reality of the Switch’s increased cartridge manufacturing costs meant that the MSRP had to be higher as well.”
In any case an extra $10 isn’t too much to ask for given what you’ll be getting, so if you don’t mind the extra $10, then keep an eye out for its release later this month.

The Turing Phone was probably ill-named and ill-fated. Its connection to the English computer scientist can mostly be traced back to the company’s own name and its slight focus on encryption. The Turing Phone, however, focused a lot on its liquidmorphium material and was easily ignored because of its price tag. Now it’s trying again with a yet again oddly-named … Continue reading
