Mate 20 Pro beats Huawei’s pre-order sales record in Western Europe by 40%

-

Huawei launched its new flagship, the Mate 20 Pro, at an event in London on October 16th, and it seems that the Mate 10 Pro's successor is breaking pre-order records in Western Europe. Huawei's Consumer Business Group (CBG) has announced that the Mate 20 Pro, with its trio of rear cameras, OLED display, and Kirin 980 processor, has beaten previous records for pre-order sales by an impressive 40%. 

The 40% uptick in preorders means that the Mate 20 Pro has overtaken the impressive P20 Pro in the number of pre-orders placed during the first ten days after being launched. While Huawei hasn't revealed specific numbers, the 40% increase is a big number to consider.

Besides the fact that the Mate 20 Pro is a phone filled with high-tech features, Huawei has also upped its game concerning preorder promotions such as the one in the UK that saw the device bundled with a wireless charger as well as the company's new smartwatch, the Watch GT. This means that people who placed an order got an additional £250 worth of value, which is nothing to be sneezed at.

We are in the midst of finishing up our review of the Mate 20 Pro, but in the meantime, have you placed a pre-order for Huawei's newest blockbuster smartphone? If so, let us know about your experience.

China suggests President Trump switch to Huawei phones after wiretapping accusations

He's been an Android fan ever since owning an HTC Hero, with the Dell Streak being his first phablet. He currently carries a Pixel 2 XL, Huawei P20 Pro, and a Huawei MediaPad M5 (8.4) in his pockets and thinks nothing of lugging a 17-inch laptop around in his backpack. When not immersed in the world of Android and gadgets, he's an avid sports fan, and like all South Africans, he loves a good Braai (BBQ).

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

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. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster. And because add-ons work the same across web and Android, you only need to install them once to access them on all of your devices. Click the settings wheel on the top right of your inbox and then "Get add-ons" to get started. We made Gmail Add-ons available in developer p

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

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
