The Huawei Mate X7, unveiled yesterday in China, will make its international debut on December 11. Huawei, through an Instagram post, announced that it's hosting a "Flagship Product Launch" in Dubai, UAE, on December 11, where it will introduce the Mate X7 for the international markets. Huawei didn't provide a list of countries receiving the Mate X7, but at the time of writing, Huawei's UAE and Saudi Arabia branches are the only ones promoting the launch on their websites, so it's safe to say these will be the first international markets to get the Mate X7. The Huawei Mate X7 is...
OnePlus has announced the newest member of its mid-range Ace series in China, called the OnePlus Ace 6T. This is also the phone that will eventually be launched as the OnePlus 15R in other markets. The OnePlus Ace 6T will be the first phone to launch with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip. We currently don't know much about this chip, and while it's easy to assume it would be slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, it's not clear where it sits with regard to the previous flagship, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Other features include a 6.7-inch 1.5K resolution 165Hz OLED display...
The Honor 500 series is now officially unveiled in China and it brings a design overhaul that’s got some clear Apple inspiration alongside some key specs upgrades over the Honor 400 models. Honor 500 (left) and Honor 500 Pro (right) The design of the Honor 500 and 500 Pro is clearly inspired by the iPhone Air with a distinct camera visor/plateau on the back. While neither of the new Honor phones is as thin or light as the Air, they do come with some impressive cameras and huge batteries. But speaking of design, both versions of the 500 series feature aluminum frames and glass...

The Honor Magic8 Pro launched in China last month, and is coming soon to the global stage. But we got the rare opportunity to take it for an early spin, so we traveled east straight to the source. The camera system itself has been tweaked slightly, but it isn't overhauled. The main camera is still a 50MP 1/1.3-inch sensor, but its lens is a fixed f/1.6 and no longer an f/1.4-2.0 unit. We can live with that - variable aperture systems in wide-angle phone cameras are more of a gimmick than anything. The lens is also now slightly wider at 23mm compared to 24mm on last year's model. The...

The OnePlus Ace 6 has a larger 7,800mAh battery and 6.82-inch 165Hz display, but the older Snapdragon 8 Elite. Oppo also confirmed that its Find X9 series will be coming to the global stage in "early...
Tariffs have been a major topic in the tech world this year, with the ongoing US-China trade war, but it seems we’ve reached a turning point. President Trump came to an agreement with Xi Jinping to reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from 57% to 47%. In addition, China is suspending its restrictions on US rare-earth mineral imports for one year. This latest development is a breath of fresh air as the Trump administration’s tariffs on Chinese goods reached 145 % at their peak earlier this year. This is certainly good news for Apple, which was one of the companies that suffered the most from...
