News & Reviews:   huawei rumours

Previously, there was a wild rumour circulating online that Huawei would be getting 5G chipsets from Qualcomm. It's best to take news such as this with a pinch of salt and Huawei just debunked it entirely.

Update: Previously, Huawei took down the teaser video about the livestream event but it's now confirmed - 2 June 2021 @ 8 PM, Malaysia Time

At the moment, Samsung is the only one that's selling foldable phones commercially around the world but Huawei might be able to join that race soon. It has been reported by Digitimes that the company is planning to launch three new foldable devices in the second half of 2021. Huawei is also known for the Mate X series but let's see what else we can expect.

Generally, Huawei would usually showcase their latest P series smartphones in March during the Mobile World Congress show. But it seems that the company is delaying that until the end of April (at least according to a staff member) with two events - one on 22 April and the other on 27th.

Huawei just can't seem to catch a break these days. First, it was the US government disallowing their devices to feature Google Mobile Services, then banning their affiliated companies and partners to receive tech components. Now, it's Sony's turn to suspend their camera supplies to Huawei.

As many of you already know, the US government is not in good terms with Huawei and more countries also stepping away from the Chinese tech company. Back in early August, the US government had banned 38 Huawei affiliated companies and now it seems that some Chinese companies have stopped doing business with them. 

As per tradition, Huawei would always introduce their latest Kirin chipset at the IFA event annually. For this upcoming IFA 2020 event on 3 September, it was previously reported that the Kirin 1000 would be the next chipset but that could be no longer the case. Thanks to a new report, the company could unveil the Kirin 9000 chipset for the Huawei Mate 40 series.

Last month, we reported that Huawei could be developing their own desktop PC thanks to the leaked render images online. While we only got to see one part of the whole thing, the monitor alongside a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard have appeared online. It was spotted on the official Huawei developer website and the name is called Qingyun W510.

For four years and counting, Huawei is known for coming up with a wide variety of rear camera designs. So what's new this time? Well, it seems that Huawei could offer another crazy rear camera design with a mini secondary display.

In a bid to transition into a self-contained ecosystem, one of the platforms Huawei has been working on is a search engine. Originally called Huawei Search, the platform went into beta back in March 2020 but is now officially available in Malaysia and has been renamed to Petal Search.
