New phones and tablets of this week With high profile announcements – we had an Apple phone, two new OnePlus flagships, three devices from Honor, flip-phone from LG and a renamed Honor midranger. There were even Bluetooth earphones – here’s a quick summary, in case you missed any of the launches.

First, we’re starting with the Apple iPhone SE (2020) – this name is so influential, we were hearing rumors about a second SE pretty much since the first one was announced in 2016 (how the time flies). But despite the name this is essentially an iPhone 8 with its TouchID home button and classic fat bezels. However, there’s the latest A13 Bionic chipset inside and improved rear camera. With its price tag of $399/€480/£419 it might well become the best-selling smartphone of 2020 despite its somewhat dated looks.

The new phones and tablets of the week
OnePlus revealed two new phones on Tuesday – the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The Pro brings Snapdragon 865, a 48MP main camera with a huge sensor, a 120Hz display, IP rating and wireless charging, but also drops the elevating front camera for a punch hole and halves the base storage. We also are yet to see how its starting price of $899/€899 will go down with OnePlus faithfuls.

The new phones and tablets of the week
Honor held a massive two-hour event on Wednesday, where we saw three phones and a new chipset. The Honor 30 comes with Kirin 985 that is just like the Kirin 990, but with slightly downclocked CPU. The Honor 30 Pro, and especially the Honor 30 Pro+, were the stars of the show with an attractive design and state of the art cameras – a large sensor 40MP main unit for the Pro, a 50MP snapper with the huge IMX700 imager for the Pro+.

The new phones and tablets of the week
While the event was taking place in China, the global department of the Huawei subsidiary also had something to cheer for – the launch of the Honor 20E in Italy. The mid-ranger will hardly get the geeks’ pulse racing, but might be a great deal to the right crowd.

The new phones and tablets of the week
Customers in Finland saw on Friday the arrival of the Honor 9X Lite, sportin a 48MP camera, Kirin 710 chipset and running Android Pie with Google services.

Samsung finally launched the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite – an oft leaked tablet with a 10.4” screen, S-Pen support and 7,040 mAh battery.

The new phones and tablets of the week
LG introduced an actual flip phone with a T9 keyboard – the LG Folder 2. It costs around $160 and comes with one camera on the back, which has an SOS Key right next to it.

The new phones and tablets of the week
Finally we come to the Oppo Ace2, which launched on Monday. Offering attractive design, unprecedented charging speeds and a powerful Snapdragon 865 chipset the phone is looking like a very solid package. Sadly, we are unlikely to see it outside of China for the time being.

Huawei P40 Pro sheds more light on Huawei’s ability to manufacture smartphones with exceptionally great cameras, well-designed chassis, and top-notch hardware performance. However, the absence of Google services is going to make purchase decisions a big NO for many.

6.58-inch OLED Display, 1200 x 2640 Pixels (441 PPI)
Android 10.0 (AOSP + HMS); EMUI 10.1
HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G (7 nm+) Processor
8GB RAM

50MP + 12MP + 40MP + TOF Quad Rear Camera
32MP + TOF Dual Front Camera
Fingerprint Reader (Under Display)
40W Fast Charge
Non-Removable Li-Po 4200 mAh Battery
Design and Display
The Huawei P40 Pro features a new chassis design, a bit far off from what we saw on the Huawei P30 Pro. This design is geared towards giving enthusiasts a new feel aesthetically.

Its build comprises of materials that place it in the flagship spot. You have got glass on the rear, glass upfront and an aluminum frame. It also has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. Huawei claims it can be dunked in 1.5m of water up to 30 mins.



On the rear, it sports a squared camera bump that houses four cameras and a camera flash. Below this camera bump is the Huawei moniker, which indicates its a Huawei smartphone.

Upfront we have a 6.58-inch OLED display showcasing Huawei efforts to eliminate the side bezels. It leaves with a curved display giving you an infinity pool vibe.

This display is home to appears to be one of the biggest camera cut-outs on any smartphone. This camera cut-out is home to dual front-facing cameras

The Cameras
Year in year out, the cameras on Huawei flagship devices has remained one of their biggest and most discussed features. The reason behind this fact isn’t far fetched.

Huawei has continuously shown the world that its a top player in the smartphone photography game. They have so far created one of the best cameras on a mobile phone.

The Huawei P40 Pro continues the trend, offering camera hardware that is an upgrade over its predecessor. It features a quad-camera system on the rear and a dual-camera system for selfies.

Its rear camera system comprises a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, a 40MP ultrawide camera and a time of flight sensor which helps in getting depth information.

The rear camera system may not completely match that of the Samsung Galaxy S20 ultra, but it’s a worthy contender. With this camera setup, you can shoot photos with 50x zoom, photos in Panorama and HDR photos.For video record, it has support for 4k video up to 60fps, 1080p video up to 960fps and 720p video up to 7680fps, which means you are up for some super slow-mo video recording.



selfies, the Huawei P40 Pro makes use of a dual-camera setup housing a 32MP primary camera and an IR TOF 3D camera for depth information and biometrics.

Hardware and Software
The Huawei P40 Pro and last year’s Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G share spec sheet that appears to be a bit similar. The highlight is the fact that both smartphones run the Hi-Silicon 990 Processor.

Bear in mind that the Hi-Silicon Kirin 990 5G processor is more of a Snapdragon 855 contender, you would have to wait for the Mate 40 Pro to get a processor that matches the 2020 Snapdragon 865 Processor.

Other features powering the performance of this smartphone are 8GB of RAM, storage options beginning from 128GB and maxing at 512GB. It supports Micro-SD storage expansion up to 256GB, which in my opinion is mediocre and less befitting for a flagship device.

You also get a non-removable 4200 mAh Li-Po battery. To ensure fast charge, this Android phone supports 40W wired fast charge, 27W wireless fast charge, and 27W fast reverse wireless charge.

On the software side, the Huawei P40 Pro runs EMUI 10.1 on top of the Android 10.0 operating system. Please bear in mind that despite running an Android operating system, you won’t be having Google service. Google Play Store, Google Play services and others are absent here.

Connectivity
The Huawei P40 Pro features a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type C port (3.1), dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1 and NFC.

Internet connectivity on the Huawei P40 Pro is capped at sub-6GHz 5G. This means you will be able to stream and download with 5G speeds when you are in an area with 5G reception.

Huawei P40 Pro Price and Availability
The price of the Huawei P40 Pro is around $1,080, which is about 396,360 Naira, 114,312 Kenyan shillings, and 6,291 Ghana Cedi.

The Huawei P40 Pro was announced on March 26 and is expected to go on sale April 7.

Samsung Galaxy S20 series has recently had an interesting track record regarding Android security updates, which have at times come out before Google had a chance to release them for its Pixels.

The situation is the same this time around. The Galaxy S20 family is now receiving an update that includes the April 2020 security patch level. So far the rollout is happening in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with Korean units set to receive it very soon


Aside from the new security fixes, the new software also packs some general camera improvements. The build number is G98x0ZHU1ATCT, where “x” is to be a different digit according to which of the three S20 iterations you have.

Since the models sold in this part of Asia are different than the ones that are up for grabs in other markets, like Europe and the US, keep in mind that the updates they receive may be different to those in other places. So while the April security patch will probably make it to every S20 out there pretty soon, this specific update may not. About a week ago, international models already received an update to fix camera issues, for example.

Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo, and other major companies have increased the prices of their devices, with the changes coming into effect starting today, April 1. Although it sounds like a joke, it is actually true – the Indian government increased the Goods & Services Tax (GST) from 12% to 18%, and combined with the weak currency, made manufacturers rethink their pricing policy


Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo increase phone prices in India
Xiaomi sent out a press release, announcing that it has “no option other than to increase prices” since it is operating on less than 5% profit margin. The new prices will be effective immediately.

Oppo sent out an updated price list to retailers. All phones, from the affordable Oppo A1k to the latest Oppo Reno3 Pro are more expensive – the change is between INR500 ($6) and INR2,000 ($25). For example, the Reno3 Pro was introduced at INR29,990 (currently equal to less than $400, at the time of launch was more like $415), but will now cost INR31,990 ($420).


Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo increase phone prices in India
Apple’s whole lineup also got more expensive by around 5%. There is a change all the way from the iPhone 7 with 32 GB to the iPhone 11 Pro Max with 512 GB storage. The most popular Apple phone for 2019, the iPhone 11, now costs INR68,300 ($900), instead of INR64,900 ($850).

Although the new prices are announced today, users cannot go to the store and purchase a phone with the total lockdown of the country. They also can’t buy it online and get it delivered, since the post services are delivering only essentials, and that’s what retailers are selling
