Huawei P20, P20 Lite, and P20 Pro press renders leak

Ahead of Huawei's grand unveiling event that takes place on March 27, Evan Blass (better known as @evleaks) has decided to give the company's entire P20 family the leaked press render treatment. The images show iPhone X-inspired screen notches on all three models. The P20 and P20 Lite get dual rear cameras, while the P20 Pro will have the much rumored (and teased) triple shooter setup on its back. Huawei P20 Pro All of the phones' rear cameras are aligned vertically on the left, a move that once again seems inspired by Apple's latest top of the line smartphone. Oddly though, a...

Vodafone UK confirms it will carry Huawei P20, P20 Lite, and P20 Pro

We received a message from Vodafone UK confirming that the carrier will carry three upcoming variants of the yet-to-be announced Huawei P20: the P20, P20 Lite, and P20 Pro.

OnePlus 6 will have a 19:9 screen with a notch, prototype scores 276,510 in AnTuTu

The notched screen a la iPhone X is the latest trend (don't call it a fad) in the Android world, one which has been picking up steam disturbingly fast. And according to a new leak, the upcoming OnePlus 6 will go with the flow and come with a notch of its own. This development was first revealed in a leaked live image from last month, which also tells us that it will be incredibly hard to tell the OnePlus 6 and the Oppo R15 apart. The shared design isn't surprising, given past antics and the fact that both Oppo and OnePlus are owned by BBK Electronics. Anyway, the OnePlus 6 is to have a...

Android P isn't officially coming to the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, and Pixel C

Following the release of the first Android P Developer Preview today, you may have wondered why the only devices you can install it on are the original Pixel and Pixel XL, as well as the Pixel 2 and 2 XL. It's simple: Google isn't brining Android P to its earlier devices, including the Huawei-made Nexus 6P, the LG-made Nexus 5X, and the Pixel C tablet. The Nexus 6P and 5X launched in 2015, and before the second-generation Pixels Google's promise has been to deliver non-security software updates for two years since release.

Android P Developer Preview 1 is here with notch support, indoor positioning, better messaging notifications

Today Google has outed the first Developer Preview of Android P. You can install this on a Pixel smartphone if you flash a system image, but you should only do that if you're a developer wanting to test your app against the upcoming release (or aren't using your main phone). That's because Google counts Android P DP1 as an alpha, which means many things may break and you're bound to encounter loads of bugs. At this stage, Android P brings with it OS-level support for the dreaded screen notch that's starting to invade the non-Apple smartphone world. You also get indoor positioning via Wi-Fi...
