It's unfortunate that Huawei smartphones will stop receiving Google services update after 19 August 2019. But all hope is not lost yet, as Google has allowed the Huawei Mate 20 Pro to be part of Android Q beta program and that's not all - Huawei just recently made an announcement on its Huawei Mobile UK Twitter page that the P30 series will also have Android Q access.

Apple recently came out with a voluntary recall notice for older 15-inch MacBook Pro units sold between September 2015 and February 2017 that may be prone to overheating.

As per tradition, Apple always releases a new iPhone every September and according to tech.sina.com from China, they claimed that the next Apple event will be held on 12 September 2019, while PhoneArena.com says either 10 or 11 September (#closeenough) to showcase the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Plus and iPhone 11R as the new successors.

IceUniverse has recently tweeted on his Twitter account stating that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, is expected to come equipped with up to 3 variable aperture modes such as f/1.5, f/1.8, and f/2.4. To the uninitiated, a lower value f-number will allow more light into the sensor, providing a brighter image while resulting in shallower focus which blurs out the background of the subject. A higher f-number value, on the other hand, allows less light into the sensor but provides a longer focal length that lets more of the scene, including the subject remain in focus.

Vivo has posted a short video on their Weibo account, showcasing their new 120W Super FlashCharge technology and its charging capabilities.

Which is pretty quick, especially when you compare the average charging time for a typical smartphone.

Ever since the US government banned Huawei and set off the trade war with China, Chinese authorities are actually considering making their own entity list which includes Apple, Dell and HP in retaliation for their actions.
