Huawei has had the EMUI 10 available on Beta for several devices for a while now, last week it was reported that the stable version was being rolled out in China including the Huawei P30, Huawei P30 Pro, HONOR 20, HONOR 20 Pro, HONOR V20 and HONOR Magic 2. This would be followed in late November…
The Huawei P30 Pro was released two weeks ago in Paris, and I have been using it as my primary phone since. As usual with the P range this phone focussing on the camera, with considerable improvements from the P20 Pro, or the 5-month old Mate 20 Pro. In particular, this phone introduces a new…
The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S10 series is the start of an influx of flagship phones for 2019 that will be using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9820 system on chip. Since October, Huawei has sat comfortably knowing they have one of, if not the best phone on the market with the Mate 20 Pro,…
With the imminent UK/EU launch of the Honor View 20 the obvious comparison to be made is the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. With Honor being a sub-brand of Huawei, it will be the second phone to feature the HiSilicon Kirin 980, which for now, is the best system on chip available on a phone. They…
While Razer was not the first company to release an Android gaming phone, they have fuelled a new trend towards gaming orientated smartphones. With the mobile market stagnating manufactures are keen to find new ways to increase demand in a saturated market. The sales numbers of the original Razer phone last year are unknown, but…
I have found Huawei to be one of the better companies for rolling out software updates, though admittedly with the increase in the number of Android One phones they are not quite as quick as other companies such as Nokia or OnePlus. Huawei has been running a beta program for these devices for a while now and…
**Updated on 03/11/2018** Last week Huawei launched the Mate 20 series, and since then I have been using this as my daily driver. Rather than do multiple posts I am doing one main review which I will update as and when changes need to be made. Specification The Mate 20 series has landed with multiple…
Huawei has a pretty crazy release cycle, far exceeding other major players in the mobile industry such as Samsung, Apple and Sony. While Samsung has a biannual release cycle for their flagship models, the Galaxy and Note range are sufficiently different to justify it, with the note being large, more expensive and more business/pro focussed. Looking at…
Even though October is such a busy month with phone launches, Huawei has managed to maintain the hype for its latest flagship, and deservedly so too. The newly announced Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are likely contenders for best phones of the year. At this point, thanks to weeks of leaks and rumours there…
As usual, running up to a major announcement of a flagship smartphone, there is a barrage of leaks and rumours. The pas day has ramped things up considerably following an Israeli publication sharing promotional materials. These things are not 100% confirmed but based on all the other rumours they appear to be quite believable. We already knew…
The Huawei Mate 20 Lite was announced at IFA 2018 a few weeks ago and is now available for consumers to buy. Most tech enthusiasts are holding out for the full Mate 20 version as well as the Pro model that will be launch on the 16th of October. However, priced at £379 the Mate…
I previously compared the three flagship system on chips from Huawei, Qualcomm and Samsung against each other and at the time, on paper, the Kirin 970 was fractionally behind the other 2 SoCs, which was due to the Kirin 970 being announced 6 months prior. Now the tables have turned and the HiSilicon Kirin 980 is the newest chip…
