Huawei P30 in for review

Huawei had a fabulous event in Paris where the star of the show was the Huawei P30 Pro with plenty of hybrid zoom and other nice features. The vanilla Huawei P30 got some of the spotlight, but its onstage time was rather limited. The phone that some might deter from calling a flagship, actually has plenty of things going for it, especially with its much more aggressive price of €749. The Huawei P30 comes with a 6.1" screen, and you might expect a rather compact device by today's standards. However, due to the chiselled sides, flat panel and thicker bezels in comparison to the Pro,...

Weekly poll: is the Nokia X71 (8.1 Plus) great value for money?

The Nokia X71 was unveiled in China this week and will most likely be available as the Nokia 8.1 Plus globally. It's HMD's first phone with a punch hole selfie camera and its first with a triple camera. Sure, the Nokia 9 PureView has five cameras, but they all have the same focal length so they're used almost exclusively for computational photography. They don't support ultra-wide or telephoto shots natively. This is what makes the X71 interesting - with a 48MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide module and a depth sensor, this could be the Nokia with the most versatile camera setup yet. The...

Apple Watch saves a man's life

Someone posted in the /r/Apple subreddit an interesting story how his Apple Watch saved his life. It appears that the hear rate notification warned him right before things went "nuts". I was laying in bed, enjoying some TV and homemade brisket, when my Apple Watch told me that my heart rate was weird af, and then, told me my heart rate was stupid fast (thank you heart rate alerts) Called ER, when they arrived, they found me in serious trouble. Body went into shock, got rushed to the hospital in a stretcher, and got taken into trauma. I felt totally fine before everything happened,...

Weekly poll results: Huawei P30 Pro is adored, P30 gets overlooked

The rear camera setup on the Huawei P30 Pro takes the best photos of any mobile camera, whether it's shooting in the dark or faraway subjects. And it's this superiority that led to a very positive vote in last week's poll. The triple camera is miles ahead of the competition in terms of telephoto camera and low-light photography, the ultra-wide camera is excellent as well (and it shoots great macros). Any one of these would have been impressive on its own, but to have all three on board means the P30 Pro is the unchallenged photography king. As a flagship phone, however, it's not...

Counterclockwise: naming things is hard, so every new phone is called the "One"

People made many jokes when Microsoft named its third-gen console the "Xbox One". It doesn't make much sense for the third product in the line, but it gets worse - "one" could be the most overused name for a tech product ever. For example, Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service, so is Google One. But don't confuse it with Android One, that's something completely different. And, of course, there is a long list of Android phones named "One". HTC One • OnePlus One • XOLO One • Motorola One Sony Xperia 1 • Realme 1 • Nokia 1 • Microsoft Kin One We didn't...

Android Q will come with native support for 3D Touch-like feature called "deep press"

According to Android Q documentation, the next big Android OS will natively support a feature called "deep press" or also known as Force Touch or 3D Touch in iOS language. By the looks of it, it will be exactly what it sounds - an enhanced functionality tied with a pressure-sensitive screen. So far there have been a couple of custom implementations of the feature, but Android Q will bring native support for it. It's still unknown how it will work and how it will be implemented in this year's Android iteration. We don't even know if additional hardware will be required under the...
