According to the information coming from Weibo tipster Classmateguan, Huawei Nova 11 has started testing with a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ chipset.

That’s not it, the tipster shared a render, which is photoshopped but reflects the intentions of the tipster to highlight key factors of the upcoming Nova devices.

According to the image, Huawei Nova 11 Pro could adopt a new pill shape hole punch design placed on the center head of the smartphone. As for now, Huawei has not used such a display design in smartphones.

This design went popular after it was originated in iPhone 14 series and later introduced in various Chinese devices. The wide punch hole is likely to use a dual camera system, one for selfies and another for the depth of field. Also, it could be utilized in the Pro model rather than the standard.

The phone is using flagship Snapdragon 8+ fully unlocked at high frequency, which could contribute to power consumption. Compared to this, Huawei Nova 10 series went on with Snapdragon 778 for Pro and non-Pro variants.

Furthermore, the camera desing has been rearranged, there is a large ring placed on the top, consisting of a main camera. It was followed by two cameras vertically including a periscope camera. To be mentioned, the camera design is cylindrical similar to the Nova 10 lineup.

As a new phone, Huawei will bring up XMAGE imaging technology with Nova 11 devices.

Huawei Nova 20 series:

Ahead of this, tipsters and past reports predicted the phone to be Huawei Nova 20 series but the company has not made any official announcement on this matter, we’ll keep you posted on this matter.

Recently, China’s intellectual property office published a patent with application number CN115700841A and it has the title “Detection Method and Electronic Equipment”, which was applied on August 31, 2021.

Looking into the technical details, this technology uses an ultraviolet camera and an RGB camera, which collect UV-mapped images and color tones respectively. Then it matches the first area in the recognized ultraviolet image to the color image to improve the user experience.

That’s not it, there’s a visual representation of the entire scenario that showcases the camera can catch ultraviolet images from different angles and combines the information to process inside a dedicated application.

The app then improves the accuracy of the input and provides a refined result and guidance for the user. This is similar to a makeup app, you just need to open the sunscreen app, then tap on the shutter button and then the camera will do the rest of the work.

Once proceed the Huawei UV camera feature will tell you about the facial statics and may also highlight the area that needs sunscreen to protect the face from harmful sun rays.

Such features are a breakthrough for the smartphone industry but it would require you to manually record the facial data. Also, it would require additional camera hardware alongside the selfie camera.

To be mentioned, it would be interesting if the tech could be included in the face lock and show the statics on the lock screen.

According to the Geekbench listing, the Huawei smartphone model MNA-AL00 on Geekbench achieved 551 single-core scores and 2312 multi-core scores. The phone has an octa-core processor with 4 cores running 1.8GHz and the other four at 2.40GHz.

Furthermore, the listing says that the MNA-AL00 has Adreno 642L GPU, which is used in Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset.

The Huawei phone is tested with 8GB of RAM and interestingly, it is coupled with Android 13, which is a rare use of the software. Because Huawei is likely to use HarmonyOS 3.1 in the Huawei P60 lineup and it’s possible that the latest open-source library in the software has been updated, while HarmonyOS 3.0 had Android 12.

Identity:

Earlier last month, the Huawei P60 series visited China’s Telecommunication Equipment’s Network Access Management (TENAA) with models MNA-AL00 and LNA-AL00. It was predicted that these two could be the standard P60 and the Pro version respectively.

So, is the above-mentioned Geekbench model is standard Huawei P60? Probably. Why? because last year, Huawei launched a new P50 series model – P50E and it featured Snapdragon 778.

Moreover, the Huawei P60 series is also reported to come with a P60E model, given the fact that MNA-AL00 also uses the same processor, it is possible to come as Huawei P60E and not the standard version. However, we don’t have any confirmation on this matter.

Huawei P60 series:

Past information reveals that the Huawei P60 series will come with a brand-new imaging system, XMAGE. Other than that, the camera will bring a new design. Aside from these, Huawei could use the latest hardware and software features.

The report suggests that the Huawei P60 series will launch in March but we are waiting for an official confirmation.

Google Play Store 34.0.13 is currently in the expansion stage for Android devices and it may take some to reach all of the users.

Purchase approval:

Earlier this week, Google added a new parent control feature to Play Store that will allow parents to add purchase approval for their children.

According to the information, the feature will allow children to send a purchase request for the family manager account to approve it. Similar to app notification and the parent could then choose whether to approve it or not.

The approval covers paid apps and in-app purchases. Once received, the family manager could tap on the notification to process the payment request. The payment could be made through on-screen payment options as well as Google Play gift cards. In addition, you can check all of the histories in the section.

Real users and bots:

There is input that Google is working on a new way for developers to provide important information to users to detect whether it is run by a bot or a human.

Mishaal Rahman said that Google Play will execute this task by releasing a signal that helps to detect between “likely genuine” and likely non-genuine” traffic based on the presence and volume of Google Play Store activity.

We can simply call it an automated AI based approach to detect activity based on the usage data of a regular Play Store user. However, there’s no official information available from Google on this matter.

Changelog:

There was a change that recently appeared on the Play Store web version, such as the disappearance of the changelog of listed apps.

However, the changelogs are back in their place, as if they were never removed.

The post Google Play Store 34.0.13 version is out for Android appeared first on Huawei Central.

Why are we saying this? Because Huawei has not yet revealed the secret EMUI 13 rollout roadmap, which usually appears in December of each year. This is quite awaited for old Huawei phone users, who want to get this new upgrade.

Still, we don’t have the slightest clue of what Huawei wants to give to its global smartphone users, and actually, the question is “When?”. Meanwhile, Huawei is still running EMUI 12 on smartphones, which was released in 2021.

HarmonyOS 3:

Amid this extended wait for EMUI 13, Huawei is seamlessly conducting HarmonyOS 3 installation in China. The tech maker has already completed installation on old smartphones with a rapid effect.

As of now, there are over 50 Huawei phones already received HarmonyOS 3 operating system in the homeland. While the company keeps on testing this update via beta activity.

It’s good to see that Huawei is providing the latest software build to device users but global smartphones deserve such attention and better treatment.

Others:

If we look at other smartphone makers, despite running on the latest Android beta software,  these companies have already delivered new Android-based software for flagship devices through the OTA method. On the flip side, Huawei flagships are still operating on EMUI 12.

Why it matters?

Because EMUI 13 is currently limited to Huawei Mate 50 Pro and the listed details reveal that EMUI 13 brings a lot of new features to the table. For instance, the large folders now have more functionality such as new layout options. Furthermore, there are improvements to the performance.

Looking at some details, EMUI 13 will debut service widgets for global users, which was available since HarmonyOS 2 release. This EMUI version will also focus on the security and privacy sector of the smartphone.

The post This new year only extended our wait for Huawei EMUI 13 appeared first on Huawei Central.

Early press renders coming from Winfuture shows us the design schematics of the Samsung Galaxy S23 and it’s just a copy-paste design. Yes, it’s an old-age design with a vertical camera arrangement identical to Galaxy S22 Ultra+ a bit from Galaxy S22 standard version.

The rest of the phone remains plane and there are no design changes made to the phone as compared to its predecessor. This is what we can call old age and it seems like this South Korean company is enjoying the full prowess of the supply chain and support of the Android ecosystem.

On the other hand, phone makers such as Huawei are trying their best to craft new and interesting designs for consumers.

The past generation including P20, P30, P40, and P50 are prime examples of these changes in design. Meanwhile, the upcoming P60 series will also have significant changes in appearance for both the rear case and the camera module.

I mean look at the beauty of this smartphone, even after getting attacked by the U.S. Huawei is heavily investing in its R&D on smartphones but Samsung remains quite behind in the race.

What will it offer:

There’s not much to reveal from the specs side but Samsung Galaxy S23 could equip with a 6.1-inch display, followed by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

So, there are some specs on paper, since Samsung’s lazy innovation on processors such as Exynos failed to provide power for the consumers. The phone maker has decided to solely move with Qualcomm.

What Samsung is doing?

As I mentioned above, Samsung is just living in an advantageous position in the smartphone market in the absence of Huawei. The proof of that lies in these renders below.

Yes, it’s an early conclusion because there’s a Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra version. But CAD renders from Onleaks also suggest that Galaxy S23 Ultra will be identical to S22 Ultra.

This kind of tiny details are pointless in my opinion but, because it seemingly matters for a few, here what the updated #Samsung #GalaxyS23Ultra data I just received tells us regarding the device bezels… pic.twitter.com/edZ1G0golu
