Huawei has announced that the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro will come with 2 new color schemes being the Morpho Aurora as well as the Pearl White.

Ending on 16 September 2018, fans and customers can take part in the contest through their Facebook page and website to win exclusive holiday getaway packages or devices such as the Huawei P20 and Nova 3.

We already know that Huawei will be appearing at the upcoming IFA 2018 event in Germany, where they will be showcasing the new Kirin 980 but that's not the only thing the company is going to do. According to new sources, they are also going to reveal two new P20 Pro colour models.

While GPU Turbo has arrived for the Honor Play, a new schedule has appeared indicating that the Huawei P20, Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei Mate 10, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Huawei Nova 3 and Huawei Nova 3i could be getting their GPU Turbo updates in August 2018.

What is the best smartphone? This is a question that is still in debate after so many years but maybe with the recent announcement from European Image and Sound Association (EISA), they just named the Huawei P20 Pro as the best smartphone of 2018. Okay, to be more accurate - EISA Best Smartphone 2018-2019. This is the sixth consecutive year that Huawei has been recognized by the EISA.

Huawei teases that the upcoming Huawei Mate 20 Pro will be coming with a larger battery than its predecessor. According to the image courtesy of pocket-link.com, the battery of the upcoming Huawei device will be larger than 4000mAh. Paired up with the upcoming Huawei In-house processor, the HiSilicone Kirin 980 chipset featuring the Neural Processing Unit, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro will see a huge improvement in terms of battery life, comfortably pushing the usage per charge to more than a or two day assuming my theories are correct.

Based on reports from IDC, SA, Canalys and Counterpoint, Huawei has toppled Apple as the second ranked global smartphone brand for Q2 of 2018. The IDC report in particular shows a 40.9% growth year-over-year for this Q2 of 2018 from Q2 of 2017 for a market share of 15.8% up from 11% and total shipment of 54 million smartphones.
