Face unlock is the new hotness and HMD wants in on the action, so "in the coming months" it will add it to its high-ranking phones with an OTA update. The following models will get it: Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8, Nokia 7 plus and Nokia 6.1. Considering the hardware present on these phones - or rather the lack thereof - this will be a pure image recognition system. If implemented well it can be convenient, though it doesn't offer much security (unlike biometric methods).

Xiaomi is all set to announce a new product next week. The information comes courtesy of the Chinese company's own virtual assistant Xiao AI, which revealed July 3 as the date of the announcement. Sadly, the assistant doesn't say anything about the star of the event.

Huawei Nova 3 teaser reveals design similar to P20 Lite

After releasing the P20 Lite as the Nova 3e in a couple of Asian markets, Huawei has started teasing a new device. Dubbed Nova 3, the handset seemingly has a design similar to the P20 Lite on the rear. Sadly, the teaser image doesn't reveal the front of the device, so it's hard to confirm the presence of notch (although rumors of 19:9 display suggest there should be one). What else the rumors say? The phone codenamed "Paris" is expected to be powered by Kirin 710 SoC, and run Android 8.1 Oreo. It is said to go official in July. Via
