UK sacks Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson over Huawei leaks

[ad_1] To be fair, it’s the fact that Williamson released any confidential information that got him fired. In a letter to Williamson, May wrote that she needs to be able to trust the people in her cabinet so that she can have frank, private conversations. May also revealed that she was concerned with the way […]

CIA claims Huawei is funded by Chinese state security

[ad_1] A Huawei spokeperson declined to comment on the claims in a statement to The Times, saying they were “unsubstantiated allegations backed up by zero evidence from anonymous sources.” There have been reasons to be cautious. A UK oversight board pointed out potential security risks in Huawei’s equipment, such as an old operating system that […]

Google and Huawei will pay Nexus 6P owners for battery woes

[ad_1] This isn’t the first such lawsuit in recent memory. As The Verge pointed out, LG faced a similar lawsuit after multiple phone models (including the Nexus 5X) suffered from their own boot loop troubles. In January 2018, it paid $425 (or $700 via rebate) per person for the fault. While incidents like this are […]

UN says US fears over Huawei’s 5G are politically motivated

[ad_1] “I would encourage Huawei to be given equal opportunities to bid for business, and during the operational process, if you find anything wrong, then you can charge them and accuse them,” Zhao said, according to Reuters. “But if we don’t have anything then to put them on the blacklist — I think this is […]

Huawei is working on a series of stylish smart glasses

[ad_1] But that doesn’t matter much, because the family of frames looks pretty good. The lack of cameras also means it, to some extent, sidesteps a lot of privacy concerns. There’s still an awful lot of technology inside the frames, however, which betrays how simple these early renders appear. You’ll be able to answer calls […]

Huawei’s new wireless headphones plug into your phone to charge

[ad_1] First up, they’re not truly wireless — Huawei launched the AirPod-baiting FreePods last year, and… we didn’t hear anything about them after that. The FreeLaces, going on first impressions alone, seem a more intriguing option for audio on the go. There are no slender wires, instead, a chunky orange (or black) band contains controls, […]

Huawei unveiled the P30 Pro smartphone a touch early

[ad_1] There are some interesting new details, too. The P30 Pro (and P30 to a lesser extent) will have improved low-light capability, making them better for night shooting. They’ll also pack a so-called dual-view video mode. That will show two of the four cameras at the same time in split-screen, letting you see both a […]

Huawei is suing the US government

[ad_1] It also accused the US government of hacking its servers and stealing emails, while smearing the company without any evidence, and blocking its ability to compete in 5G technology around the world. Huawei’s ire is focused on Section 889 of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). That section targeted it by name to […]

The wearable market is (still) booming

[ad_1] Numbers released by the International Data Corporation show 31.4 percent growth in the wearable market (or 59.3 million units) in the fourth quarter of 2018. While Q4 numbers are inflated by holiday sales, there’s no denying wearables’ increased popularity. For the entire year, 172.2 million devices shipped; that’s up 27.5 percent over 2017. It’s […]
