Honor’s EU President talks about differentiating from Huawei, Magic OS 7, and their upcoming foldable

When Huawei sold off its sub-brand Honor in late 2020 to a consortium of buyers, it was welcome news to many phone fans. Not only did it mean that we get a new independent player in the smartphone scene, but there were hopes that Honor devices would regain access to Google Mobile Services, which had been stripped from all devices under the Huawei umbrella since mid-2019. And that was exactly what happened: Honor re-made its global debut in the summer of 2021 with the Magic 3 series, with a big marketing push about being an independent brand and having full Google support to boot.

Since then, Honor has released several more devices to the international market, with the latest, the Honor 70, getting a headline spot to open the IFA trade show in Berlin. “On the IFA stage for the first time since independence,” read the first sentence of the sub-title in the official Honor press release.

Honor and the Huawei influence

But there’s an elephant in the room: so far, despite proudly flaunting its independence, all of Honor’s devices, including and especially the smartphones, have looked and felt very similar to Huawei devices. What gives?

Honor’s EU President, Tony Ran.

The answer, according to Honor’s EU President Tony Ran, is that Honor simply hasn’t been independent long enough.

“Yes, at this moment there are similarities in terms of design and user interface between [Honor and Huawei devices]. The process to develop a product, from initial design to reaching store shelves, could take two to three years,” says Ran during a media roundtable session in Berlin. “We are changing, but not as fast as you guys may expect.”

Honor’s Chief Marketing Officer of Europe, Clement Wong, chimes in: “Internally, we care more than anyone to make our products stand out from not just Huawei, but other vendors. But it’s a step-by-step process — to differentiate from a hardware perspective, it takes time due to the supply chain logistics and R&D investments required to build a new product.”

Magic OS 7.0

In fact, Wong promises the first sign of differentiation will come soon via the upcoming Magic OS 7.0 software that will launch in Q4 this year. “Magic OS 7.0 is a big leap from previous Honor software, it will look and feel totally different from Huawei devices.”

It is unknown currently if Magic OS 7.0 will launch alongside new hardware, but it is very likely, given Honor’s push to re-establish itself as a global consumer tech player after US sanctions had previously crippled the brand’s overseas growth. According to Ran and Wong, Honor hopes to make Europe the company’s “second home market,” behind, obviously, China.

This strategy will involve continuing to build relationships with carriers across Europe. “We already have major connections with [many] major European and UK carriers,” says Ran. “But there are some carriers that are a little conservative in choosing a new partner like us, so it’s a step-by-step process, and we’re working to establish our network partners.”

Unlike Huawei’s consumer boss Richard Yu, who is notorious for making boisterous claims, Honor’s leaders seem to have more realistic, grounded targets. “We know it’s not going to happen overnight,” says Ran of establishing Honor as a major player in Europe. “It may be a five to ten-year process, but we’re committed to the goal of making Honor as big a name in Europe as we are in China.”

Ran says Honor may open physical stores around Europe like it already has in its home market of China, and some Asian regions like Singapore and Malaysia.

One more thing Honor hopes to do now that it is no longer just a “sub-brand” is to finally establish itself as a premium brand. “Previously, we were somewhat limited in what markets we could pursue,” says Wong. “We can now pursue products in the flagship space.”

Competing globally with foldables

The company had already started with the Honor Magic 4 Pro, which checks all the boxes a flagship phone should. But to stand out from the market, Honor will have to launch something new and different — and it’s coming. In Q1 of 2022, Honor will launch a new foldable phone that will sell outside of China. Unless other brands like Oppo or Google beat Honor to it later this year, Honor’s upcoming foldable will be the first large foldable phone with full GMS access to launch internationally, thus finally giving Samsung some much-needed global competition in the foldable space.

“We are ultimately a product company, and the best way to communicate with consumers is via products,” says Ran. “The most important direction of Honor is still to invest in, and build products.”

T-Mobile is expanding its home internet service to 64 new cities

A little over a year after its launch, T-Mobile’s 5G home internet service has been doing quite well. In April 2022, it reported over one million subscribers, and more recently, it launched its Internet Freedom strategy to make it even easier to shop for broadband home internet service. Best of all, it is affordable, costing considerably less than traditional broadband internet providers. Today, the wireless carrier has announced that it is expanding to offer its service in 64 new cities and towns across six states.

T-Mobile home internet service will now be available in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. While not all areas will have service, the carrier states that this new expansion will provide internet to nine million eligible homes. T-Mobile’s 5G home internet service is built on the wireless carrier’s 5G network. That means you will get fast and reliable coverage. As mentioned before, the internet service is quite affordable, costing just $50 per month when enrolled in AutoPay. If the customer is already a T-Mobile Magenta Max subscriber, the plan will be discounted to $30 per month, which is a great price for internet service.

Furthermore, there are no additional costs for equipment, taxes, or other fees. Also, since it runs off of T-Mobile’s 5G network, there is no installation required. You simply plug in and set up a wireless gateway, and that’s it. If you are currently locked into a contract with another internet service provider, T-Mobile will even pay for termination fees. If you’re uncertain, the wireless carrier even offers a free trial of its service for 15 days. If it doesn’t work for you, you can cancel without any money coming out of your pocket. If interested, you can head to the T-Mobile website or head to the source for the full list of newly supported cities.

A new leak shows off Insta360’s X3 camera with large touchscreen display

Insta360 is scheduled to announce a new product in a couple of days. While there aren’t many hints on its website, a new leak has apparently given away the details of the announcement. If the leak is accurate, Insta360 will announce a successor to its One X2 360 camera dubbed the Insta360 X3.

Insta360 X3

According to WinFuture, the upcoming Insta360 X3 will feature roughly the same design as its predecessor, but the design will look a bit more streamlined. The one obvious major difference is its large vertical screen which measures in at 2.29-inches. Previous models opted for a circular display that was considerably smaller when compared to the new device. Despite this new look, apparently, the new model will still have a top-end recording resolution of 5.7K. But, there could be improvements when filming with a single sensor, going from 1440p to 4K resolution.

Additionally, the source states that images can now be captured up to 72MP, and time-lapses can be filmed in 8K resolution. As for other features, it looks like the Insta360 X3 will offer a similar feature to GoPro’s HindSight. The feature records constantly but only captures videos to the SD card when the shutter button is pressed. This allows users never to miss a moment no matter what. In addition, there should also be improvements to data transfer speeds by up to 50 percent, thanks to improvements in Wi-Fi technology.

    Insta360 - ONE X2 360 Degree Digital Video Camera

    Unfortunately, most of the meat of this leak lies within the images, as there are very few details about the actual specifications of the device. Once the details are revealed, it will be interesting to see how its latest camera compares to other devices in its lineup. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too long as the announcement is set for September 8. Although there wasn’t pricing for the United States, the leak stated that pricing for the European market should come in at €539.99.

      The Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL receive one final update

      The end has finally come for the Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. Although official support for both devices ended back in May, Google stated that it would offer one additional security update for the phones that was scheduled for July. But, the update would never arrive. Thankfully, Google has included the Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL in the latest September Security update. So now, Pixel 3a owners can get one final security update.

      If you’re excited or curious, you can now get the update over the air (OTA). You should be prompted, but if not, head into the Settings menu, then go to System Update, and finally check for an update. If it hasn’t arrived on your mobile device, be patient, as it is currently rolling out. The September update will bring the devices to software version number SP2A.220505.008. While the update might be surprising, this isn’t the first time this has happened. Back in June, the phones got a surprise update that didn’t offer any security updates but reportedly delivered bug fixes. However, the update enabled VoLTE roaming on the handsets. This roaming capability would apply to carriers in the United States and other regions.

      The Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL had a decent run, as they were first released back in May 2019. The announcement would occur several months after the release of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. The Pixel 3a devices were the first mid-range offerings from Google, delivering great features at an affordable price. The smartphones packed a mid-range SoC and still featured the same abilities as its flagship siblings, like taking excellent photos. The phones could even utilize features like Night Sight, enhanced zoom capabilities, and more. Despite the Pixel 3a ending its run, the new Pixel 6a will continue to carry its torch, offering a powerful and affordable smartphone experience.

      Android 13 Custom ROM List: Unofficially update your Android smartphone!

      Android 13 is making the rounds everywhere now. If you have a recent-ish Google Pixel smartphone, you should already have your taste of the latest iteration of Android. This update to Android may be considered incremental in nature, but that in no way diminishes the improvements it brings to the table. Nonetheless, unless you have a supported Google Pixel device or one of the few non-Google smartphones with a “Developer Preview” program, there’s a very good chance that you will have to wait for a few months to have your OEM send across the latest dessert onto your phone.

      This is where XDA’s developer community comes in — groups of talented individuals working together to achieve the common cause of getting the latest Android onto devices before the OEM can, and in many cases, because the OEM can’t.

      With a large number of official as well as unofficial builds of Android 13-based custom ROMs popping up, we felt it would be a good idea to create an index of devices that have Android 13 ports available for them. Do note that these are aftermarket builds and some will very likely contain bugs. Please read the first few posts of each linked thread so you know the current status of the build before flashing it on your phone.

      Note: In this article, we will only be providing a link to the first Android 13 custom ROM that we come across for a particular device in our forums. This does not serve as an endorsement of that particular build, nor are we suggesting that the work of others should be ignored. We are limiting what we link to in order to prevent this article from becoming too lengthy. Please visit the XDA forums for your device to see if there are other, possibly more complete, builds available.
