Rumours about Hudawi p20 and p20 plus

Huawei P20 and it will come in three versions (at least). And the top model of the three will sport a notch, similar to the iPhone X. Its screen bezels are nearly non-existent, all except the bottom one are razor thin. The fingerprint reader is on the back, below the camera (more on that in a second). And the top bezel features a notch to accommodate the earpiece, selfie camera and sensors. Huawei has already demoed its own FaceID-like tech (that will be better than Apple’s, company officials say). That’s not visible on the schematic though and there doesn’t seem to be much room, but who knows. Schematics: Huawei P20 • Huawei P20 Plus • Huawei P20 Pro Anyway, back to the camera – or should we say  the triple camera . It’s positioned vertically and it runs down the middle of the phone. On the Huawei P20 and P20 Plus the camera is in a different position – off to the left on the Plus and rotated 90° on the vanilla model. Both have a fingerprint reader on the (thin) bottom b

Amazon echo review

Amazon has been vocal about improving Alexa and it’s now a vital and voracious part of the smart home puzzle. This is both a blessing and a curse for Amazon. Initially Alexa was only available through the devices the company made but now it’s omnipresent, with many a speaker manufacturer allowed to use the voice AI - the most high-profile recently being the  Sonos One Design and features The new Amazon Echo continues Amazon’s crusade of making voice the future of the operating system, bolstering Alexa’s skillset and wrapping all of this up in a much nicer chassis - an interchangeable one at that. The new-look Echo is smaller and wider than its predecessor, which means it’s a lot more steadier on its feet. While we always felt that an accidental nudge would topple the original Echo over, the new Echo’s sturdier footprint means that it isn’t going anywhere. Its look does mean that it’s less sci-fi and more in keeping with the current crop of smart speaker

Honor view 10

While parent company and brand Huawei typically deals in the premium space, the Honor brand represents value-for-money made affordable by intelligent distribution strategies. The latest offering from Honor is the View10, which is the current top-end smartphone from the company in India. With top-end specifications and features, the Rs 29,999. Honor View10 takes on the current affordable flagship champion the OnePlus 5T head on. Here s our review. Great design When it comes to design and build, the Honor View10 checks all the right boxes. The phone sports a metal back, and the blue color of our review unit looks absolutely fantastic. The matte finish and slim profile make this a phone that definitely stands out in a crowd. And while the significantly-protruding dual-camera setup looks interesting, it s a bit scary when the phone rests on the camera lenses. The front of the phone has the 18:9 aspect ratio 6-inch full-HD+ IPS LCD screen. While most phones with the stretched scre

New trends of CES 2018 ON TECHNOLOGY:SMART SPEAKERs

Whereas before there about 100 companies and no one knew who to rally behind,” Dells’s Azor said, commenting on what he expects to stand out at CES. In addition, LG will show off its ThinQ Speaker, LG’s first premium AI speak

Android oreo updates roll out in mi A1 in xiaomi

Since early December, Xiaomi's been seeking individuals to participate in a beta of Android Oreo for the Mi A1. News broke later in the month that Oreo for the phone introduced fast-charging, but there was still no timeframe as to when it'd be available for all. However, as a treat for ringing in the new year, Xiaomi's announced that Oreo is officially rolling out to all Mi A1 units. Xiaomi will push Oreo to the Mi A1 in batches, so if you don't have an OTA update quite yet, it should arrive on your handset within a couple days. In addition to the previously mentioned fast charging, Oreo for the Mi A1 adds picture-in-picture, notification dots, Google's Autofill API, improved battery/performance, and everything else that we've come to love with Android's latest.
