New leaked image for the Huawei Mate 10 Pro surfaces

The leaks for the upcoming Huawei flagship phones just keep coming. This time we get a pretty good look at what the Mate 10 Pro is going to look like, courtesy of reliable leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks). As we know, there are supposedly three different versions of the Mate 10: the standard Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, and Mate 10 Lite. We know “true” artificial intelligence is going to be at the heart of the new devices as Huawei just released last week a short promo highlighting the AI capabilities that come with their new processor built into the Mate 10.

We get more details from Blass about the Mate 10 Pro and a high-resolution render of the device to come with it. It shows an edge-to-edge display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a dual-camera 12- and 20-megapixel camera setup at the rear and an 8-megapixel front camera. There seems to be three different colors of the device: dark blue, black, and brown. A lighter band runs around the camera sensors and according to Blass, this look seems to be polarizing his followers. Whether these images are true or not, we don’t have to wait too long to see these new devices as Huawei is set to unveil them on October 16th.

Garmin vivofit jr. 2 reaches out to the kids with Disney-themed design

Garmin wants to help keep your children active with its newest wearable. The Garmin vivofit jr. 2 features Disney-themed designs that’ll surely appeal to any kid, they have one for Minnie Mouse, Captain America, Avengers, Star Wars First Order, BB-8, and The Resistance. The wearable is designed to track your child’s activity and it encourages them to be active for at least 60 minutes a day. It’s built to be worn 24/7 and promises a one-year (or longer) battery life. Its coloured display is fairly simplistic so the kids can understand what’s being shown on the screen.

The vivofit jr. 2 displays things like the number of steps taken, time and date, and that move bar to remind them to be active. It also shows how long they’ve been active as well as some information on their sleep. And since it incentivizes them to move, new adventures will be unlocked when your child stays active. There will be things like step icon characters, too. One of the challenges your kid can engage in is the Toe-to-Toe step challenge, which they can do with nearby friends who own the fitness band. Parents can track your kid’s progress through a free companion app and even assign chores and send reminders through the band. The Garmin vivofit jr. 2 retails for US$99.99 (around CA$125) with each band retailing for US$29.99 (around CA$38).
