Huawei

Huawei has unveiled a new Mate series of flagship phones, brimming with the latest mobile technology – but without access to the Play Store.

For well over a decade Huawei has been accused by governments around the world of working with Chinese national spy agencies. But what evidence is there to back up these serious claims, and what are the global repercussions of this new US Huawei ban recently announced by US President Donald Trump?​

The Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro are the latest mid-range phones with flagship aspirations to hit the market, unveiled at a press event today. A sub-brand of Huawei, Honor's mission is to find the perfect balance between price and performance – and these two new handsets may just have found it.

It's been a busy year for phone launches already, and after the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S10 phones, the Sony Xperia 1, the folding Huawei Mate X and others, we've got two more flagship handsets to tell you about: the Huawei P30 and the Huawei P30 Pro.

​If you strip the smartwatch back to its most basic functions in pursuit of an exceptional battery life what might that look like? This is the fine line Huawei is walking with its Watch GT, but does it get the balance right?

The folding smartphone may have finally arrived during Mobile World Congress this week with the unveiling of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold and Huawei’s Mate X. So what do these two bendable blowers stand for exactly?

We knew foldable phones would be one of the smartphone trends of 2019, but we're now starting to see the actual devices appear: days after Samsung took the wrappers off its Galaxy Fold phone, Huawei has been showing off its own foldable Mate X handset at Mobile World Congress 2019.

You might have heard that one of the smartphone trends of 2019 is going to be foldable phones, devices with displays you can actually bend in half. What you might not realize is just how many of these devices are on the way – so we're listing all the phones currently in the pipeline here.

​Most people will agree that phone conversations are more awkward than face-to-face chats, since you can't gauge the other person's mood by seeing their facial expressions. This is a constant challenge for the blind, which is why Huawei has developed the "face-reading" Facing Emotions app.

First came the rectangular notch, and now we have the much smaller hole punch notch. The Nova 4 from Huawei is one of the first smartphones sporting such a display, but it's unlikely to be the last, with handsets from Samsung, Xiaomi​, and others likely to follow the trend in 2019.

Huawei's latest bid to take on the might of Apple, Samsung and Google has arrived in the form of the Huawei Mate 20 and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro: two powerhouse phones packing premium specs, some new AI and photography smarts, and a triple-lens camera setup on the back.

There's no place better in the world than Photokina if you want to completely drown yourself in the equipment, culture and business of photography. We spent a couple of days putting together this giant gallery to give you a sense of what the world's biggest camera nerd expo is all about.
