Huawei Mate 50 Pro to Launch in Europe on September 26

Last week, Huawei debuted the Huawei Mate 50 series in China. The latest flagships from the company were unveiled a day ahead of the Apple iPhone 14 lineup. Now, the once world’s largest smartphone brand has confirmed to bring one of its newly announced premium handsets to Europe.

Huawei has sent media invites in Germany for the debut of the Huawei Mate 50 Pro and Huawei Nova 10 in the country. These two phones will be announced on September 26.

Though the company only lists two products in the invite, tipster @RODENT950 suggests that EMUI 13 could also be presented alongside them. For the unaware, Huawei smartphones and tablets outside China still run EMUI though it has switched to HarmonyOS in China.

EMUI 12 based on Android 11 was announced in late August 2021. Hence, the company could announce EMUI 13 later this month. Unfortunately, it is not known whether it will bring an upgrade to the underlying Android version. But what we know for sure is that it will lack GMS (Google Mobile Services).

Huawei is known for introducing similar products in multiple European markets at the same time. Hence, there’s a chance that these two handsets could be announced in other countries neighboring Germany. But unfortunately, we do not have the confirmation for the same at the moment.

Either way, apart from EMUI 13, we know everything about Huawei Mate 50 Pro and Huawei Nova 10 as they are already official. We just have to wait until September 26 to learn about their price and availability in Europe.

Back in July, Realme began testing Realme UI 3.0 open beta builds for the Realme 9 5G. Now, the brand has finally released the Android 12-based stable build for the device for regular users.

The Realme UI 3.0 stable update rollout will be released to Realme 9 5G users in batches, and to be eligible for the update, users will have to make sure that they are on the firmware version RMX3388_11.A.06 / RMX3388_11.A.07.

As usual, the update will be rolling out in badges, so it might take a few days before the update is made available on all devices. Realme has also listed some common issues that might occur after the update that the users will need to be mindful of. You can check them out below.

Common issues

a. After the upgrade, it may take a longer time to boot for the first time, especially if there are many third-party applications on your phone.

b. After the upgrade, in order to improve the system’s operation efficiency and eliminate potential safety risks, the system will perform a series of actions such as application adaptation, background optimization, and security scanning. So, the system will occupy more CPU, memory, and other resources, which may cause slight hanging and faster power consumption.

The new update will bring a new UI design to the device along with new features and increased performance and efficiency. Cameras will also get a few new options, and gaming will be smoother with more stable frame rates and less battery consumption.

Samsung Galaxy S series smartphones could come without physical buttons

Samsung remains the world’s leading smartphone manufacturer, and the company’s Galaxy S-series devices remain one of the most premium offerings from the brand. But, it’s been ages since we have seen any major design changes in the Galaxy S-series lineup.

Now, it appears that the South Korean giant is planning to take a leap of faith and pull an Apple on its customers by removing an important feature of a smartphone. As per the latest report, the Galaxy S-series smartphones could come without any physical buttons.

The report claims that the Samsung Galaxy S-series smartphone without any type of physical buttons could get launched as soon as 2025, which means that the Galaxy S25 series could be the first with such a major change.

It remains to be seen how the company plans to add functionalities of the volume rocker keys and the power button. There should also be an option to forcefully shut down or restart the phone if needed. If Samsung is planning to remove physical buttons, it must have thought about these and may already have solutions for them.

In the recent past, Apple removed the Escape key from the keyboard when it introduced the Touch Bar on the laptop. However, the company eventually caved in after a major backlash and re-introduced the physical Escape key button.

HTC also tried doing something similar, but the company did not completely remove the physical buttons. For the HTC U12+, the buttons on the device weren’t mechanical buttons; however, the user feedback wasn’t good, and it was one of the worst parts of the phone.
