News & Reviews:   Huawei smartphone

Smartphones can do so many things these days and HUAWEI goes out of its way to make it more so. Here are some smart and easy ways to utilise everyday apps on your HUAWEI device.

For those unaware, Huawei is hosting a Super Brand Day on its website and Lazada today. But if you are too busy for some online shopping today, you can still do it next week! Yup, Huawei Malaysia has confirmed that there's another Super Brand Day on 27 July 2021.

It's been more than a year now since we heard about HongMeng OS (or also known as HarmonyOS). Up until now, it was speculated to be the replacement for Huawei's smartphones lineup but nothing really happened and it was revealed to be made more for the company's ecosystem instead. But recently, Huawei Consumer Business Software President Wang Chengju revealed that HongMeng OS 2.0 is expected to be released in December 2020.

While there were some rumours that Huawei could launch smartphones with the HarmonyOS later this year, that no longer seems to be the case. Huawei's in-house operating system for smartphones has been in development for a few years, but it's probably still not ready yet.

It seems that Huawei may be preparing something even more premium than their Ascend P7 smartphone as images have leaked of an all-metal Huawei smartphone. The shiny metal back panel clearly shows the Huawei logo and an opening under the camera which appears to be for a fingerprint scanner or rear control of some sort. While this metal mystery Huawei smartphone is still unnamed, tech specs look to be very impressive as it may use the company's octa-core Kirin 920 processor, which has shown performance on par with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 and 805. It will also feature an ARM MAli T628 GPU, dual-channel DDR3 800MHz RAM memory, LTE connectivity and a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution screen along with a 32MP camera sensor. No news yet on Malaysia release dates or pricing but we expect it to come around September 2014 for $600 (RM1965) or so.
