Android update for huawei mate 8 Continue In a world where AI is at the forefront of innovation, is it finally time for a smartphone with AI at its core? Huawei seems to think so, and the company's upcoming Mate 10 phone is doing just that. This is the first smartphone powered by the Kirin 970, which comes with a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) for AI. Don't miss out: Huawei Mate 10 follows this year's flagship trend, with the first FullView huawei display. It's essentially a branding term for the narrower frames that both devices have, although their displays vary in quality and resolution. The Mate 10 has a 5.9-inch liquid crystal display with a more traditional side ratio of 16:9, while the Mate 10 Pro has a 6.0-inch Full HD AMOLED panel with a side ratio of 18:9. Both screens also support HDR 10, using apps such as YouTube and Netflix, which already display HDR content on smartphones. The fingerprint sensor is located in the back of the Mate 10 Pro, as are previous Huawei devices. On the usual Mate 10, Huawei squeezed the sensor into a small bezel under the display. The design of the Mate 10 series hasn't changed much from last year's Mate 9, but the framing reduction allows for a much smaller overall footprint. Both the Mate 10 and 10 Pro feel smaller than their display sizes would suggest, although the thin curves at the back offer an improved hand feel, especially for the regular Mate 10.Both devices are powered by Kirin 970, which is the star of the show. Announced at IFA 2017 last month - and a worthy winner of our Best of IFA award - Huawei's latest processor is the first that is designed with AI in mind. Using its custom NPU, Huawei says that the Kirin 970 will apply AI to the world around you. This is the first time you've seen it in camera scene modes. When using the camera and pointing it at the object, the NPU recognizes the type of object and adjusts the image accordingly in real time, during capture and after processing. We found that the function works very well, especially when noticing food, plants or flowers in the scene. The icon in the bottom corner helps signal which type of scene is recognized. What about the cameras in the back? Both devices continue Huawei's partnership with Leica and come with next-generation dual cameras. The main sensor is a 12-MP RGB sensor with OIS and a secondary camera 20 MP monochrome sensor. The LG V30 may have been the first smartphone camera with aperture f/1.6, but the Mate 10 is the first that aperture on both lenses. Huawei says it allows it to let in 90% more light than previous Mate smartphones. Like previous Huawei devices, they have a range of modes, including portrait mode, a wide aperture mode that allows you to change the aperture before or after shooting, and several modes dedicated to low-light photography. Hybrid scaling feature additional data provided by a large monochrome sensor and used for no loss.

They also have a number of significant differences. The standard Mate 10 comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage, while the Mate 10 Pro has 4/6GB of RAM and 64/128GB of storage. It is important to note that the Mate 10 Pro does not have a microSD card slot, while the standard Mate 10 does. The Mate 10 Pro offers IP67 dust and waterproofness, providing durability that was missing from Huawei's previous flagship devices, although the Mate 10 does not. The differences do not stop there. The standard Mate 10 features a 3.5mm audio connector, along with a 1Gbps data speed support thanks to the LTE Cat 16. Meanwhile, the Mate 10 Pro doesn't have a headphone jack and uses USB Type-C digital sound with an adapter in the box. The Mate 10 Pro also comes with 4X4MIMO, 256-AM and 3CC CA support, which means it is the first smartphone to support data speeds of up to 1.2Gbps. Both devices are powered by a 4000 mAh battery and support Huawei SuperCharge, which Huawei says can charge batteries of up to 58% in 30 minutes. The EMUI huawei interface is often the most polarizing feature on Huawei smartphones, although last year's EMUI 5 interface offered a welcome step in the right direction. This year Huawei jumped right on the EMUI 8 to coincide with Android 8.0 Oreo and developed parts of its interface with the AI-first approach in mind. The benefits of AI are mostly visible during day-to-day use, which means we'll have to wait for our full review in order to really test these features out. However, Huawei says that the NPU allows it to understand and respond to the context of the user's actions and provide recommendations to help. When reading the book, NPU will remind users to turn on the Eye Comfort mode.) Or, when taking a business card, the NPU will offer to scan the details in the phone book. Huawei has also made several changes to take full advantage of the big screen. Both devices have the option of a floating navigation dock that can be moved anywhere on the screen to facilitate navigation. It uses the same gestures found on the Porsche Design Mate 9 last year, with one tap to return, a long press to return home, and swipes left or right to activate the latest app menu. It's a bit confusing at first, but if you prefer to have traditional keys on the screen, they're also available. Huawei also announced that they were working with Microsoft to develop Bing Translator on top Kirin. The Translator app will be pre-loaded on Mate 10 and will allow you to translate text as well as use the camera to translate objects and signs in real time using the help of Since not all developers see the need to develop directly on Kirin, there is also support for apps that use google TensorFlow Lite and Facebook Caffe2 frameworks, to route these queries through the NPU. Huawei is also trying to appeal to business users with the addition of a single-label projection mode that allows you to use your smartphone as a PC. Using the USB Type-C to HDMI cable, Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro offer a dock-free version where the screen can either mirror or extend the smartphone display. When you dock, calls and other sensitive content coming to your phone will not be shared on the big screen. To control the PC-like experience, you can connect the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse - as both devices support dual Bluetooth connections - or you can use your smartphone display as a keyboard and mouse. The Huawei Mate 10 will be available in black, Moca Brown, Champagne Gold, and Rose Gold. The Mate 10 Pro will be available in Midnight Blue, Mocha Brown, Titanium Gray and Pink Gold. Price and availability information has not yet been announced. In general, Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro offer an interesting insight into the evolution of Huawei's smartphone portfolio. Both are big improvements compared to last year's Mate 9, but the question remains whether the AI-first approach is enough to appeal to users. In a year when every smartphone manufacturer has brought its best, Huawei's efforts certainly make them a contender. The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro are two very similar devices, but a few differences between them mean that it can be difficult to install, which is actually a real flagship. According to a new report by The Wall Street Journal, the demolition of the Huawei Mate 30 shows that the device does not contain the equipment that originated in the United States. The Huawei ban explicitly states that Huawei can no longer do business with any U.S. firms. This tearful suggests that Huawei is fully capable of developing smartphones without buying any U.S. hardware. However, the equipment is not everything. Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro do not have access to Google apps, which is probably the biggest reason why the device still does not have a full global release. In addition, although smartphone hardware does not originate from the United States, many of the technologies included in the phone require licenses with U.S. companies in order to be sold. Huawei still has no way to get around these issues. However, the fact that a company can produce a phone of the highest caliber without any U.S. equipment is certainly remarkable.

According to two anonymous sources, Trump Is Trump If it's true, it's going to put Huawei in an even more difficult situation than it is now. However, this news is very peculiar, as it turned out that the U.S. government is tightening the ban without increasing its powers. For example, the US has issued Microsoft a license to work with Huawei again, suggesting that other companies - perhaps even Google - could be next.
