Here's a first look at Huawei's foldable smartphone

-

The latest statements from Huawei's boss are clear: the company is aiming to overtake Samsung as the world's largest smartphone manufacturer. In 2019, however, the battle will be different than before and Huawei will not only fight on one front. The new battlefield is folding smartphones, and Huawei is not going to back down. Here's the Chinese answer to the South Korean giant!

Huawei's CEO, Richard Yu, has no doubt: "Even without the US market, we will be number one in the world. This is our year." A presumptuous ambition? Maybe, but Huawei has all the cards in order to grow and its progress over the last few last years shows it. But in 2019 things will get harder. First of all, the problems with the US and Canada following the arrest of the CFO of Huawei are just beginning and the market is about to change with the arrival of folding smartphones.

The direct competitor Samsung has already shown a preview of its Galaxy Fold (unofficial name) in the form of a prototype during its conference dedicated to developers but has not allowed anyone to get closer before its official announcement that, according to authoritative sources such as the WSJ, will arrive in the middle of the event of presentation of Galaxy S10 on 20 February next.

Huawei's response will certainly not be long in coming and today, once again thanks to the enormous work done by the LetsGoDigital team, we are able to show you 3D renders of the folding smartphone that will presumably be presented by the Chinese company during a dedicated event at the Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona.

The Huawei device does not look hugely different from the design of the Samsung. However, comparing both 3D renderings we can see that Huawei's smartphone appears slightly thinner and with a slightly different "hinge" than its South Korean counterpart. Subsequently, in this case you can also notice the USB Type-C port on the bottom of the device and two holes in the screen, one dedicated to the camera and the other to the LED flash.

Unfortunately, we do not have further details regarding the technical data sheet and we would also like to point out that the renderings in question are the result of information received from our source or patents previously registered by the Chinese company.

What do you think about Huawei's response to Samsung's folding smartphone? Which would you rather buy?

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.

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 Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

-

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
