The Honor View 20 features a 48MP camera and a cut-out front-camera
This week Huawei subsidiary Honor announced the Honor View 20, the successor to last year’s View 10 (which we didn’t get here), and it looks even better. One might even say, “infinitely better”.

When to expect the first 5G-enabled devices in South Africa
Before you get too excited, it’s safe to say that 5G is still quite a way off for South Africa. The problem is two fold. First, in order to roll out commercial 5G services mobile network operators need access to the radio frequency spectrum 5G requires. The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) is responsible for making that happen, but is bogged down in arguments about how ...[Read More]

Huawei is looking to launch augmented reality glasses in the next couple of years
Huawei has done something that Stuff wasn’t expecting to happen in 2018 — they’ve made perhaps the best phone of the year but that’s apparently not good enough for the Chinese company. After storming the lines manned by Samsung and Apple, Huawei has set its sights a little further afield. What would you say to augmented reality glasses made by Huawei? Hopefully you’re...[Read More]
The debate about whether an algorithm will replace your job is becoming more pertinent
Most of the conversations about artificial intelligence (AI) seem to be focussed on the potential job losses this new form of automation will result in. Some 800-million people could lose their jobs by 2030 according to the figures from a study by the McKinsey Global Institute last December, which also predicted AI will affect 800 various job types and occupations in 46 countries. That’s 20%...[Read More]
Apple better worry – Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro costs R19,000, pre-orders open tomorrow
Apple unveiled more smartphones than usual for 2018 but the price… oh, the price is the thing.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro vs Huawei P20 Pro: The weigh-in
How can Huawei top the brilliant P20 Pro? By bringing in a new Mate, it seems. It’s too early to know for sure, but the freshly revealed Huawei Mate 20 Pro looks to be leaps and bounds better than last year’s great — but now somewhat dated-looking — Mate 10 Pro. It’s also packing a dazzling new design along with loads of top-end tech and unique features. Of course, the P20 ...[Read More]

Here’s what we know about the Huawei Watch GT – thanks to Huawei’s own website
It’s hard keeping secrets in an age where everyone has a video camera and a microphone in their front pocket, and when all the information you could ever need (and a whole lot more that you never will) lives inside that same device. Huawei learned that the hard way this weekend when the company prematurely published info concerning their upcoming smartwatch, the Watch GT. All of the specific...[Read More]
