Huawei Watch 2 has a sporty look, leaked press renders reveal
It's an open secret that Huawei will unveil a new smartwatch this Sunday in Barcelona at its pre-Mobile World Congress event where we'll also see the P10 and P10 Plus smartphones becoming official. That is because even a company official has basically confirmed this. However, we've heard very little about the upcoming wearable up until this point, which is pretty unusual for the leak-filled mobile world nowadays. A report from January claimed it would sport cellular data connectivity and a "sportier" look than the original Huawei Watch from 2015. Well, that's been very much confirmed today...
LG G6 to be released on March 10, Samsung Galaxy S8 confirmed for April 21

Xiaomi recruited Wang Feng to star in the trailer of its upcoming chipset, Pinecone. Yes, a trailer for a chipset - Xiaomi is sparing no expense to drive up the hype. Anyway, Feng is a two-time World Memory Champion and he shows off his skills by memorizing and then recalling 100 groups of numbers (each group consisting of several digits) He even wrote them down in the correct order! This is certainly an impressive feat and as fine a way of teasing a chipset as we could think of.
