Huawei Watch Review: I Love This Snazzy Piece, But Not That Price

Smartwatches, wristables, wearables — we’re getting a shitload of them this fall. As far as function is concerned, many of them will be carbon copies. What sets wearable winners like the Huawei Watch apart is the luxe aesthetic of blingy jewelry. But that gold/silver-plated premium comes at a hefty price that might disillusion some would-be…

Huawei Mate S Hands-On: Force Touch is Great, But With One Big Problem

You’ve got to hand it to Huawei. Just a week out from Apple’s iPhone 6S launch, it’s revealed the Mate S, which has almost certainly stolen a bit of the Apple phone’s thunder by including its iOS rival’s expected lead feature. The Force Touch control exclusive to the top-of-the-line 128GB Mate S is of course…

Huawei Mate S Brings Force Touch Navigation to Android

Anything Apple can do, Huawei can do — or at least it’s going to try. With it’s new flagship, the 5.5-inch Mate S, it’s bringing the exact same Force Touch technology seen in the Apple Watch to a phone for the first time. But Huawei has some ideas of its own, too. From “hard pressing”…

The Huawei Watch Is Luxury-Class But a Bit Too Bulky

While Android makers like LG, Motorola, and ASUS, are working on their second-gen smartwatches, Huawei is finally getting around to the first. Previously announced back in Barcelona this spring, the Huawei Watch is finally ready to conquer wrists. And it’s a good start—with room for improvement. Smartwatches have a pretty different design direction from smartphones…

Huawei’s $800 Gold Android Wear Smartwatch Works With the iPhone

We know that next week at IFA we’ll get at least one new smartwatch in the Samsung Galaxy Gear S2, but if this Amazon pre-order page is legit (why wouldn’t be) Huawei is about to drop brashest Android Wear concept we’ve seen yet. There are a number of notable facts on this pre-order page linked…

Leaked Pics of Huawei’s Rumored Nexus Show Off One Bizarre-Looking Phone

Until now, the 5.7-inch Nexus smartphone by Huawei has only been a collection of well-founded rumors and hearsay. But new leaked images are finally putting a face to the name, and it’s a little weird-looking. Google’s annual round of Nexus phones, which usually launch around the end of October, tend to be made by all…

This Phone’s Claim to Fame Is An Indestructible Selfie Periscope

We’re only a few weeks out from IFA, but if you were hoping for a preview of this year’s most eccentric devices, Chinese company Huawei has you covered. This is our very first peek at the new Honor 7i, where a flippable, selfie-ready camera takes center stage. Or the world’s fanciest high tech phone projectile.…

That Rumored Huawei Nexus Smartphone Sounds Pretty Amazing, Actually

We started hearing whispers about two months ago that Google would pull a first with its smartphones and tap Chinese company Huawei to churn out its new Nexus device. And now, with the familiar late-October release date for Nexuses approaching, rumors are starting to reach critical mass. Technology is filled with all kinds of rumors…

Huawei TalkBand B2: Half Fitness Band, Half Earpiece, All Bizarre

Huawei is betting (again) on wearables—who’s not! And alongside its new Android Wear watch, the Chinese company has something much weirder: the TalkBand B2. The TalkBand B2 is the successor of the TalkBand B1, with a 0.73 PMOLED touchscreen. Built on a metal dock instead of plastic or rubber, the TalkBand B2 comes in two…

Huawei’s Android Wear Watch Is Handsome, But Still Too Bulky

Huawei is launching not one but three wearables this year at Mobile World Congress, and the new Android Wear-powered Huawei Watch is the most interesting of the trio. The Huawei Watch is nice but also, well, just another Android Wear watch, and to me it’s as bulky as almost every other smartwatch out there—with a…

Huawei Already Revealed Its First Android Watch

All the cool kids are peddling Android wearables these days, and it looks like Huawei is no exception: in advance of the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it looks like the Chinese phone giant has revealed its upcoming watch in an (accidental?) ad. First spotted by Android Central, the ad gives it the original…

Huawei, Once Accused of Spying, Has Been Hacked by NSA Since 2009

Chinese electronics manufacturer Huawei decided to withdraw from U.S. business last year amid accusations that it built backdoors into American government and business systems. But while the U.S. government was publicly accusing the company of espionage, the NSA had already established its own backdoors into Huawei’s networks, say Der Spiegel and The New York Times.…

Having proudly claimed the first Android-Windows Phone dual-boot phones would arrive by spring, Huawei is now backpedalling—saying they won’t happen after all. Sound familiar?

Huawei Says It’s Launching a 4G Phone in the U.S. (Don’t Count On It)

Meet the Ascend Mate 2, a big ass 6.1-inch 4G phone from Chinese purveyor of cheap phones, Huawei. Company exec Richard Yu said the device is actually getting a U.S. release on AT&T. We’re just not exactly convinced. Now, absent a confirmation from AT&T, we’re a skeptical here. Especially considering Huawei has recently said it…

Accused of Spying, Huawei CEO Says Company Is “Exiting the US Market”

It looks like China’s Huawei, the world’s largest telecommunications equipment maker, is sick and tired of the United States accusing it of cyberspying. In an interview with the French press, the company’s founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei said they’re throwing in the towel stateside. Ren did not mince his words. “If Huawei gets in the…

This SD Card Is Hiding a Mobile Hotspot Inside

The last thing you want to do after buying yourself a sleek, ultra-slim laptop is muck up its lovely form factor with an ungainly mobile WiFi hotspot hanging off a USB port. So taking inspiration from the Eye-Fi, Huawei has cooked up its own SD card that’s gutted to make room for a nano SIM…

Huawei Ascend P6: The World’s Skinniest Phone Is a Metal-Clad Beauty

Huawei has just unveiled the Ascend P6 Android smartphone at a crowded event in London. At 6.1mm thick, it’s the slimmest smartphone in the world.

The New Smartphone War: 7 Apple and Samsung Challengers

You might call it a lack of ambition. Or you could just call it being very pragmatic. At a recent roundtable with reporters in Tokyo, the head of Sony’s mobile business professed his desire to be the No. 3 player in smartphones behind Apple and Samsung. BlackBerry’s CEO said the same thing heading up to…

Huawei Claims It Has the World’s Fastest 4G Phone—But Who Really Cares?

Huawei could add a waffle-maker to its Ascend P2, and I doubt even that would be enough to pull people over to its side of the phone stores. Unlike the Ascend D2 unveiled at CES, there’s no 3,000mAh battery lurking here (you’ll have to “make do” with a 2420 one), but there’s a CAT 4LTE…
