Speaking to the Associated Press, consumer CEO Richard Yu confirmed the various rumors of a launch happening next year. The Huawei Mate 10 will be its flagship device, with the official announcement occuring at CES in Las Vegas next month.

Announced in October, the flagship is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 970 processor with 4/6GB of RAM and 64/128GBGB of storage. The Mate 10 features a 5.9-inch 2560 x 1440 LCD display at 16:9 with a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot.

Meanwhile, the Mate 10 Pro jumps to a 6-inch OLED panel, but only at 1080p resolution. It drops the headphone jack and microSD card slot, but gains IP67 dust and water resistance in the process.

This Android Oreo device touts AI-smarts with a dedicated co-processor that especially aids the camera. Both devices feature a dual-lens with a 12MP standard and 20MP monochrome sensor on the rear.

Current rumors suggest that the phone will be available from AT&T and Verizon, with Yu noting availability from multiple carriers. Given the flagship nature of the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, the report notes that the phones will be “competitively priced.”

However, Huawei, will be competing on performance and not cost, with Yu adding, “We are not a cheap, low-cost company.”

During the interview, Yu also addressed security concerns, nothing how “We are a company that really cares about cybersecurity and privacy protection. We do a lot better than the other vendors.” In the U.S., Huawei is not able to supply infrastructure components, like networking gear, due to security threats.

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

17 features and tricks to help you get started with Spotify

-

Spotify is one of the world's most popular music streaming services, with 157 million active users ( as of December 2017 ) and over 35 million songs. Originally born in Sweden, it quickly gained popularity as it expanded outside of its home country. Frankly, it's hard to believe that Spotify hit U.S. shores almost seven years ago. For many who were accustomed to mainstays at the time like Pandora and iHeartRadio, Spotify represented something different. And to some of us, its disparity to those other services was off-putting. I was one of those people who was initially excited about it, then quickly became frustrated with it when I tried to use it like Pandora, which was my go-to back then. Fast forward to the very recent past and I decided to give Spotify another try — at the behest of Artem, no less. When I sat down to figure out how to best utilize it, I wanted to learn how to not only get going, but how to use Spotify to the best of its abilities in both the free
