We are getting deeper and deeper in to the season of tech since almost every tech giant has been releasing their plans for 2020 line ups.

We saw, Apple releasing their latest flagship with a major addition into the camera division. We saw, Huawei with P30 but with no google services (such a shame) and we saw Samsung re-doing their Galaxy Fold phone.

Moving into the Gaming section, Apple Arcade has been launched and the games look very promising in terms of graphics. See the full article here.

Now into the car tech section, Elon Musk is trying too hard to catch Porsche saying that he will throw a Tesla Model S into Nurburing. Read the article here.

He also installed a charging station into the Track. Well that is the future! 🙂

Huawei confirms Mate 30 will land on September 19th

Huawei has confirmed the launch date for its next flagship phone line. In a short teaser video posted to Twitter, the company says that the upcoming Mate 30 series will be unveiled in Munich, Germany on September 19th. The tagline for the event is “Rethink Possibilities.”

Huawei will indeed have had to rethink the possibilities of its Mate 30 phones — Google toldThe Verge that they won’t be allowed to ship with core Google services on board, as US companies are still banned from doing business with Huawei. We called the Mate 20 Pro “the best phone America can’t get” last year, but it would have been significantly less jealousy-inducing with that caveat.

As such, much of the attention at this launch will be focused on how Huawei manages to work around the Google-shaped hole in its software. The company has already been building out its own Play Store alternative, and is reportedly working on a mapping service API for third-party developers. Huawei also recently revealed its own operating system, HarmonyOS, but has downplayed its potential as an Android replacement for smartphones; the Mate 30 series will still likely be based on open-source Android.

Software aside, Huawei’s recent flagship phones have all had impressive hardware, and the Mate 30 Pro is likely to follow in that tradition. It should make use of the Kirin 990 processor, which Huawei is set to announce this week at the IFA trade show in Berlin. Unverified leaks indicate that the Mate 30 Pro will feature a large circular quad-camera module and a “waterfall” display with extreme curved edges.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro will have two large 40MP sensors on the back

Not only will the Huawei Mate 30 Pro have two 40MP sensors, they will be massive too. The main camera sensor will have 40MP resolution (and a quad RYYB filter) like the P30 Pro but it’s a bigger 1/1.55” type sensor. The second 40MP sensor goes behind the ultra wide-angle lens.

It will be a 1/1.7” sensor – that’s the same size as the P30 Pro main sensor! And as you can see in the image shared by @IceUniverse, both sensors are quite a bit larger than the main sensor that Samsung uses in the Galaxy S10 and Note10.

In fact, Huawei has had the upper hand in terms of sensor size since early 2018 with the Huawei P20 Pro vs. Samsung Galaxy S9+. Here’s a comparison between the main sensors of Huawei and Samsung flagships:

Anyway, the telephoto camera on the Mate 30 Pro is expected to stay at 8MP, basically using the same module as the P30 Pro.

Huawei has trademarked the names â€˜Cine Lens’ and ‘Matrix Camera’, which suggests that the cameras on the Mate 30 family will feature additional upgrades over the P30 phones.
