Huawei is holding a press conference at IFA on September 1, but the Mate 9 reportedly won't become official at that point. Still, a successor to the Mate 8 from 2015 is clearly in the works already at the Chinese company, even if it does unveil it later in the year.

Moto 360 Sport is now just £129 in the UK, £90 less than usual

The fitness-focused (at least through its design) Moto 360 Sport smartwatch that was unveiled last year alongside the second generation Moto 360 is now a lot cheaper in the UK. The Moto 360 Sport normally retails for £219 if you choose to buy it straight from Motorola's online store. However, you can currently grab one for only £129, thus saving a cool £90 in the process. All you need to do is go to this page, add it to your cart, and then apply the promo codes UKHOT164 and UKWELCOME10. You need to use both, so it's handy that Motorola lets you add them one by one when you're viewing your...
