Huawei adopts the unique selling point of Samsung smartphones

Image
Samsung has apparently decided to phase out the Note series. For Huawei, this is probably a reason to adopt this unique selling point of the competition and now develop a V-Pencil. Huawei plans V-Pencil for foldable smartphone Samsung has not officially discontinued the Note series, but everything points to exactly that. The S Pen is now available for normal smartphones like the Galaxy S21 Ultra and folding phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 3 (for testing). However, Samsung has not presented a Galaxy Note 21 Ultra. Huawei also wants to adopt the new direction. A trademark application now reveals that Huawei has the "V-Pencil" protected (source: LetsGoDigital). It was only recently announced that Huawei is planning a "Mate V". It is said to be a foldable smartphone that is offered as a cheap alternative to the Mate X. This should change a lot visually and go in the direction of the clamshell cell phone , similar to the Motorola RAZR or Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. With ...

{Disarmed} Honor 50: That should cost the model in Germany

Image
End of October Honor will restart in Europe venture . The Honor 50 should help, a premium midranger. Unlike the former parent company Huawei, Honor is allowed to use 5G processors - and also the Google services and apps. And that's exactly what should make the restart much easier. Now the first prices of the Honor 50 for Europe and Germany have appeared. Accordingly, the Honor 50 will probably be at least EUR 499.00 in Europe. Not exactly cheap, especially if it is the smaller of the two model variants. Because the model with 256 GB of memory should cost a Hunni more, i.e. EUR 599.00.

Honor succeeds in breaking free: Huawei s legacy has been shaken off

Image
The times are rosy for Honor. The former Huawei subsidiary was sold in order to be able to conquer the smartphone market again. This is exactly what will work, because one of the biggest disadvantages has officially been removed. New Honor smartphone with Google apps confirmed Many Huawei and Honor fans have been waiting for this day. The upcoming Honor 50, which will also be presented in Germany in a few weeks, will be equipped with Google apps and services. This has now been officially confirmed on Twitter by a press representative.

After the presentation of the Magic 3 series, we asked Honor whether Google services were supported. You weren't sure yourself , but you haven't brought the smartphone to Europe either. The Honor 50, on the other hand, will be present...

Huawei is switching and replacing the core of the smartphones

Image
Huawei wants to continue building smartphones, but has to come up with something due to the difficulties in obtaining chips. New smartphones that will come onto the market in the coming months will therefore have a different processor than what is otherwise used from Huawei devices. Huawei is increasingly relying on Qualcomm chips If you bought a Huawei smartphone in the past, you also got a Kirin processor with it. Huawei developed the chips themselves and adapted them to the smartphones' own needs. The US sanctions mean that this is hardly possible any more. Huawei does not get enough components to manufacture the chips itself and therefore has to switch. Most of the new smartphones that Huawei will bring to the market will therefore be equipped with a Qualcomm chip (source: GizChina). Since Huawei is not allowed to use 5G technology, Qualcomm had to specially rebuild its own processors. Huawei will receive high-end and mid-range chips with 4G modems from Qualcomm that no o...

{Disarmed} Get ready for the first new Honor smartphone with Google Apps

Image
Honor has been an independent brand for almost 1 year. Nevertheless, you can still see many similarities to the former mother - Huawei. For example in the design of the Honor 50, which clearly bears Huawei lines. Doesn't have to be bad. And at the end of October it should finally be time, Honor will present the Honor 50 as the first own GMS smartphone worldwide. For some time it has also been known when it will start. The Honor 50 is even listed in the German Honor store, but you can't buy it yet. A price is also still missing, which should then be mentioned at the release event. And Honor with Google services, that could turn out to be a success story again. It is not yet a flagship, that should be the Honor mijia 3, which will probably also come to us. But the specifications of the Honor 50 are not bad to start with, if the price is right. The Honor 50 is powered by the Snapdragon 778G and the phone has a 108 MP camera and a 4,300 mAh battery, supports a 66W fast c...

{Disarmed} Huawei HarmonyOS 3.0 is said to be the fastest operating system

Image
Allegedly HarmonyOS will be presented by Huawei in October. There is no exact date, but it is assumed that Huawei will present its latest version of the operating system at the Huawei Developer Conference Together at the end of the month. Huawei is working tirelessly to improve its new HarmonyOS mobile operating system. Since its announcement at HDC 2020, the Chinese technology manufacturer has been adding new functions over and over again. HarmonyOS 2.0 is now available on many Huawei and Honor smartphones in China. But the successor has already been announced. It is not yet known which new features Huawei will introduce in HarmonyOS 3.0. But already now it is said that it will be faster than MIUI 13 from Xiaomi, which will probably be presented at the end of the year. So Huawei is continuing to work on making software and hardware run better together, a path that has been promising at Apple for years. So far, HarmonyOS is only available on smartphones in China. It is not ye...

HarmonyOS: Huawei even supplies ancient smartphones

Image
Huawei continues to expand. Not only newer smartphones are supplied with HarmonyOS, but also very old Android devices that have actually not received any updates for a long time. New life is breathed into them, so to speak. But this also has a small disadvantage. Huawei distributes HarmonyOS for old smartphones When it announced HarmonyOS 2.0, Huawei said that older smartphones would also receive the new operating system. Now the day has come. The Chinese company has announced that several Huawei smartphones that are almost five years old will be given a second chance with HarmonyOS. The following smartphones are now receiving the new operating system: Huawei Mate 9 Huawei Mate 9 Pro Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design Huawei P10 Huawei P10 Plus Huawei Enjoy 9 Plus Huawei Nova 3 There are real classics like the Huawei Mate 9, which I tested myself in November 2016. At that time the world was still okay for Huawei and you could tell from smartphone to smartphone how much better the compan...

{Disarmed} Most Huawei smartphones will use Snapdragon chips in the 1st half of 2022

Image
Huawei has recently started using Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips for its smartphones. And that shouldn't change in the first half of 2022 either, when it is expected that most Huawei smartphones will use Snapdragon chips. The reason is simple, your own Kirin chips are running out. The Huawei P50 series is also available with the Snapdragon 888 and the Nova 9 series also has a Qualcomm processor on board with the Snapdragon 778G. In both models, however, only one 4G chip of the respective SoC is used. Because Huawei is only allowed to use 4G processors due to the ban imposed by the USA. Most of Huawei's smartphones will continue to use Snapdragon chips for the first half of next year. Because the Kirin chips, including the 4G versions of the Kirin 9000 processor, are now out of stock. Since Huawei cannot have any more produced, you have to rely on other chips. And thus Huawei is likely to feel the effects of the global chip crisis. Because Qualcomm is already produci...

First Huawei, now Honor: smartphone manufacturer lands on US hit list

Image
The US ban brought Huawei to its knees. The Chinese company can basically no longer build modern smartphones. The sales figures have slipped into the basement. The same fate now threatens the former subsidiary Honor. However, the US government is not yet fully resolved. After Huawei: Honor threatens US ban Because of the US ban, Huawei spun off and sold Honor. For some time now, the former subsidiary of Huawei has been working completely independently and supposedly no longer has anything to do with Huawei. This is to ensure that Honor will be equipped with US technologies again in future smartphones and can also access Google services and apps. According to the Washington Post (via The Verge) , a thunderstorm is brewing . Parts of the US government want to blacklist Honor quickly so that the company cannot develop completely. However, not all MPs want to support this approach. It is very undecided whether Honor is also on the blacklist. US President Joe Biden is sticking to Donal...

{Disarmed} Huawei: USA is targeting network equipment in Europe again

Image
Even after four rounds of US sanctions, the US seems to be targeting Huawei and the ZTE infrastructure in Europe again and creating new difficulties for the Chinese manufacturer. A recently introduced bill against Chinese technology manufacturers in the Senate was signed by other senators. Ted Lieu, a Democratic MP from California, and Brad Schneider from Illinois are showing their approval of the latest Senate bill, according to a report by SCMP. Together with 30 other members, both have joined the Transatlantic Telecommunications Security Act. It gives the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) special powers to review projects from Central and Eastern Europe, including regions such as Austria, Greece, Ukraine and Moldova. The bill states: "The United States has national security and economic interests in assisting Central and Eastern European countries. They will work to improve the security of their communications networks by reducing reliance on cove...

This also includes the "impossible" smartphone, which Samsung and LG have already had a hard time with. Honor is developing a retractable smartphone Foldable smartphones have now arrived in our everyday lives and are no longer a major feature. After three generations, Samsung has now got the hang of it and with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 is even more successful than expected. The next big thing is retractable smartphones. These are devices that look like a normal smartphone, also in terms of size and thickness, but where the display can be enlarged by a pull-out mechanism . Samsung wants to try it, LG built it but never launched it and now it's Honor's turn. Honor's patent, which has now emerged, basically describes the same idea for a roll-out smartphone that Huawei had some time ago: The whole design of the smartphone is ...

Sony tackles Huawei: Chinese manufacturer ignored warning

Image
Sony is certain that Huawei is violating the trademark rights of the Japanese group. Accordingly, a lawsuit has now been filed. Meanwhile, Huawei is trying to secure more trademark rights to wipe out Sony. It's about smartwatches and a legendary game. Sony is suing Huawei over GT smartwatches Huawei has been exposed to many processes in the company's history. Now Sony wants to enforce its trademark rights to "GT". A few years ago, the Japanese company asked Huawei not to equip its smartwatches with the addition "GT". Huawei didn't care and so the GT-Watches came onto the market. Sony, however, is of the opinion that the "GT" belongs to the company, as it is used as the abbreviation of the cult game "Gran Turismo" (source: LetsGoDigital). Huawei does not want to face the lawsuit without a fight, but has even applied for naming rights in England for a Watch GT3, GT5, GT8 and GT10 . The company wants to further expand its GT line of...
