Huawei Mate 10 comes with QHD screen, F/1.6 dual Leica camera

-
The Huawei Mate 10 builds on the impressive legacy of last year’s model. It maintains a classic 16:9 screen, but this time it’s sharper thanks to its QHD resolution – 1,440 x 2,560px. This pushes the pixel density up to 499ppi as the diagonal measures the same as before, 5.9”. Huawei did enable HDR10 support for a superior viewing experience.



The new Leica dual camera also marks a massive improvement over the outgoing model with its super bright f/1.6 aperture, which will let much more light in than the old f/2.2 aperture. The camera maintains its assistants – OIS, Laser and Phase detection AF.


The dual camera on the back has a 12MP color sensor + 20MP black & white sensor. It offers AI-enhanced 2x digital zoom and can record 4K video. The selfie camera sticks to 8MP.

The chipset is also new – the Kirin 970 is built on an efficient 10nm process and its NPU will accelerate machine learning tasks. This spans anything from language translation to scene recognition for the camera. The new Mali-G72 MP12 GPU brings the additional performance to feed the new higher resolution screen.

Huawei’s software, EMUI, has been updated to version 8.0, which matches its Android base – Oreo. The software can connect to a DisplayPort monitor for a desktop-like experience. When you’re on the go, you can split the 5.9” screen for two apps to share.


The Huawei Mate 10 comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, which you can expand via a microSD card (the phone has a hybrid dual SIM slot).

Fans of battery longevity will be pleased to hear about the 4,000mAh capacity, which you can top up quickly with the TÜV Safety Certified Huawei SuperCharge – 20 minutes of charging is all you need to get you through the day.



The Mate 10 lacks full water sealing and only comes with IP53 rating, so if you want a phone to take to the poolside the 10 Pro might be a better choice. The regular Mate 10 does feature a 3.5mm audio jack, though, unlike its sibling.


The Huawei Mate 10 will launch later this month in several markets for €700.

Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates

-

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your ...

The Nokia 3310 is back, but it's not exactly a pretty sight

Just like the rumor-vine predicted, HMD didn't skip on the opportunity to ride the nostalgia wave and reincarnate the legendary Nokia 3310 for a second go on the 2017 mobile scene. We are sure opinions will be polarized on the EUR 49 feature-phone, but that definitely fits into the whole idea. Whether you find it unsightly, or enjoy its colorful and playful looks, the new 3310 will definitely get fans talking, even if not necessarily buying. Again, as far as design goes, you will just have to judge for yourself. The new 3310 measure only 115.6 x 51 x 12.8 mm and is plastic all around. HMD claims it did the best it can to recreate the original 3310 rounded shape and silhouette. The rounded buttons on the retro keypad definitely hit home. However, the 2.4-inch QVGA display and the curved and polarized layer on top, do look a bit off. So do the buttons on the front.
