New Huawei teaser claims Mate 10 is not a smartphone

What is it then, you ask? “An intelligent machine.” At least that is what Huawei is claiming its upcoming Mate 10 to be. It makes sense for the company to be pushing the artificial intelligence aspect of its new devices as the new Kirin 970 processor powering the new devices come built with a dedicated neural processing unit for on-device AI capabilities. We will get to hear about this intelligent machine next month when Huawei unveils it at an October 16^th event.

Google app lets you pin three categories to your home screen

If you want easy access to entertainment and sports news as well as restaurants in your area, a new update coming to the Google app version 7.11 or 7.12 beta will make it easier to access these pieces of information right from your home screen. As mentioned the three categories you can pin to your home screen include Dining, Entertainment, and Sports. Tapping on the Dining icon will let you do search for restaurants in your area, while the other two icons will bring you to the respective categories within the app. The update seems to be coming from the server side so you may or may not see this feature immediately.

GoPro outs Hero6 action camera

It might look almost identical to the Hero5 but the new GoPro Hero6 gets an upgrade inside. Slow-motion frames got a significant boost. You can now shoot 4K at 50 frames per second (fps), 2.7K at 120fps, and 1080p at 240fps. Image stabilization has also been improved. GoPro says it also has faster Wi-Fi speeds for file transfer. The Hero6 replaces Wide Dynamic Range with a High Dynamic Range mode. This model also packs in a new GP1 sensor.

According to GoPro CEO Nick Woodman, this lets them offer “improved dynamic range, extensive manual controls, enhanced color reproduction and better lowlight performance.” The Hero6 retails for US$499 (approx. CA$620).
