Review: Great look, excellent battery, music and calls

We got a chance to get one of the Huawei Watch GT 2 classic edition and so far, had more than half of a day to spend with the watch. Here are some of the first impression of the design, specs, and overall features.

BT 5.0, Kirin A1 chipset

Huawei has launched its second-generation GT watch simply called Huawei Watch GT 2 powered by Kirin A1 chipset promising two weeks battery and always-on screen.

All major European markets too

A Huawei UK spokesperson has confirmed Fudzilla that the Mate 30 Pro and Mate 30 will be available in the UK market from etailers, retailers as well as carriers. All major eight markets who carried Huawei P30 Pro will be carrying the new phones.

No Google Services but Huawei has its own

The official Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro are out and, as expected, this is one of the best camera phones around, if not the best. As previously reported, Kirin 990 4G version of the phone is shipping with EMUI 10 based on Android 10 open source without Google Play services and this will be a big deal for most consumers.

First 7T series in India September 26

OnePlus has officially confirmed that the OnePlus 7T series will launch in London on October 10 at 5 PM local time. The company is emphasizing that the new product will end up with 90 Hz display smoother than ever.

Video Coding For Machines (VCM) Standard

Cisco research, back in 2018, pointed out that Machine-to-Machine applications will represent the greatest usage of internet video traffic over the next four years. This is what poked the interest of many companies and researchers and was an important topic of the 127th MPEG Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, in July of 2019, regarding the need for standardization.

Adaptive intelligent world

Last year was the first time that Xilinx held a massive Xilinx Developers forum, and on October 1 and 2, the company plans the annual event over again. Victor Peng, President, and Chief Executive Officer is expected to give us an update on adaptable intelligent world vision.

2nd gen 7nm, new architecture

Apple’s new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max come with A13 bionic, the second-generation 7nm process manufactured SoC.

It is all about the 7nm and die-area

Wafers are very expensive, especially for the 7nm leading-edge process, and 10nm is not cheap either. If you need to use a device in a battery-operated environment, then power consumption plays a critical role. But Qualcomm thinks that 5G deployment is happening much faster than was the case with 4G and wants to expand the reach to the Snapdragon 700 and even 600 series.

Kirin 990 4G is significantly smaller

The Kirin 990 5G was finally announced by CEO Richard Yu today and it is a 10.3 billion transistor three CPU cluster SoC with an integrated 5G. Future phones, including the Mate 30 Pro 5G will use it. A Huawei executive confirmed to Fudzilla  that the 4G version of the chip is not merely the same SoC with 5G bit disabled.
