This seems like a major achievement for the company which has been hit by a ban by the United States, barring the company from using any technology from the US-based firms. That’s the reason Mate 30 series comes without support for Google apps and services.

While the lack of support isn’t a big deal for the Chinese market given that most Android phones in the region comes without support for Google Play services, access to Google apps and services is vital in other regions.

Despite the lack of access to Google, the company has started the international expansion of the Huawei Mate 30 series smartphones and is now being sold in some regions of Europe and in Malaysia.

He Gang has not revealed anything related to the sales forecast of the Huawei Mate X smartphone. He said that at this stage, the company is hoping to learn and understand the customer experience with the foldable smartphones.

For those who are unaware, Huawei has finally released its much-awaited Mate X foldable smartphone in China which will go on sale from 15th November. The Kirin 990 SoC powered variant of the Mate X will be launched in March next year.

Samsung Galaxy S10 starts getting update to fix fingerprint recognition issue

By

-

Oct 24, 2019

A story emerged last week that the Galaxy S10 fingerprint can be unlocked by an unregistered fingerprint when a sub-standard screen protector was attached. The story rattled the headlines when it emerged last week. Apparently, the issue also affected the Galaxy Note 10 series.

Samsung promised to push a fix for the issue soon and that is already happening. The update is said to be hitting Galaxy S10 and Note 10 units in South Korea. We expect a global rollout to happen pretty soon.

The software flaw was first reported by a British woman whose Galaxy S10 unit was successfully unlocked by her husband’s thumbprint after fixing a cheap screen protector on the device. The lady had bought a £2.70 gel screen protector on eBay and then noticed her left thumbprint, which was not registered could also unlock the phone. Both of her husband’s thumbs could also unlock the phone. The same scenario played out when the screen protector was added to another relative’s phone which we believe is also a Galaxy S10.

The scanner sends ultrasounds to detect 3D ridges of fingerprints in order to recognise users. Samsung explained the problem by noting that the ultrasonic fingerprint was mistakenly “recognizing 3-dimensional patterns appearing on certain silicone screen protecting cases as users’ fingerprints.”
