Huawei officially launches EMUI 9.0 beta for 9 phones

-

Huawei officially announced the launch of the beta program for EMUI 9.0, based on Android Pie. The company took it to Twitter to say which devices will be the first to receive an update to the latest version of the platform.

The list includes six Huawei and three Honor phones, all powered by the Kirin 970 chipset, since the Kirin 980-powered Mate 20 series smartphones already run the EMUI 9.0 out of the box. Here's the full list of first-wave phones:

The early adopter list is limited to 5,000 users per phone. To join the program, you have to upgrade the Beta Tester app to its latest version 8.0.2.81. Once you're in the team, tap Services and then Upgrade Early Adoption. The beta users are required to return some feedback about the new features and design.

Huawei already said what to expect of EMUI 9.0 across all its devices - a "simple, enjoyable, and consistent" user experience including GPU Turbo 2.0, Password vault and optimized app launch. There are also the features Google introduced with the arrival of Android Pie - Adaptive Battery, Adaptive Brightness, Digital Wellbeing (or as Huawei calls it - Android Dashboard) and AI suggestions in the app menu.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

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

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail.

Libratone Q Adapt USB-C earphones review: Pricey, but for good reason

-
Image
It's sad, but the headphone jack is being included on fewer and fewer phones every year. Ever since Apple started the trend of relying on one connector with the iPhone 7, Google, HTC, Motorola, and more companies have all released flagship devices without the 3.5mm jack that all of us knew and loved. Without the headphone jack, people basically have three options for personal audio: dongles, Bluetooth headphones, and USB-C headphones. Dongles look cheap and out-of-place, they're a pain to move around, and they're easy to lose. Bluetooth headphones can be a pain to pair and must be charged fairly often. So if you don't particularly fancy either of those, you're left with one choice: headphones with a USB Type-C connector. That's where the Libratone Q Adapt USB-C earphones come in. I've been using a pair for several weeks now, and I'm ready to share my thoughts. Here's the short answer: they're good. Design and build quality The Q A
