Today is Amazon Prime Day, the biggest sales event for the online retailer each year.  As part of the sale, Huawei has lowered the prices on virtually all of their Android phones and Wear OS by Google smartwatches.  And in some cases, the savings are huge.

·         $300 off the Huawei Mate 10 Pro smartphone – $499

·         $30 off the Huawei Mate SE smartphone – $219

·         $80 off the Huawei Watch 2 Sports – $219

·         $80 off the Huawei Watch 2 Classic  – $289

·         $20 off the Huawei Band 2 – $49

Keep in mind that Prime Day started at 3:00 pm Eastern today, or Noon Pacific for those on the West coast.  Things will sell out very quick – they always do – so if you are wanting to pick up one of these great deals, do it sooner rather than later.

The Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro have a significant bug fixing update rolling out in the manufacture’s home country, China.  The update brings a number of bug fixes and stability improvements to both devices.  The update to EMUI, the company’s Android Oreo build, is version 8.0.0.127 (SP1C00) and it is the same for both devices.

From an optimization perspective, there are seven improvements noted in the release notes for the build.

• Optimizes Camera and the Navigation dock.
• Optimizes the Beauty feature by adding special touches based on the genders of the photographed subjects.
• Optimizes the accessibility of the Navigation dock, which can now be used in Ultra power saving mode and the notification panel.
• Optimizes the system power consumption by controlling the consumption of third-party apps
• Simplifies the operation of the status bar (tapping on it to return to the call screen is supported).
• Increases the speed of grabbing WeChat lucky money.
• Enjoy being faster than the rest even when in the same network environment.

One of the more anticipated final phone releases of 2017 happens on October 16th.  That is when we will see the Huawei Mate 10 and P11 be released.  There are a lot of rumors floating about on both devices, especially the Mate 10, but it looks like two of these rumors are firming up.

First, Huawei is going to be putting a lot of emphasis on AI in their Android build for the Mate 10, EMUI 6, with a teaser video on Twitter suggesting that the phone will “see”, “think” and “learn” as it is used.

Huawei has been working on their AI for a while now and it is improving.  In the Mate 10 however, it could be their biggest leap yet.
