Huawei FreeBuds 3 expected to come to Canada

Huawei might be bringing its latest wireless earbuds here. MobileSyrup reported spotting the Huawei FreeBuds 3 in the Government of Canada's Radio Equipment List, suggesting that the audio accessory will be making its way here. The FreeBuds 3 were approved by the government just this January 20.

The Huawei FreeBuds 3 comes with Kirin A1 Bluetooth processor and needs your phone to run on EMUI 10 or above to work. Each earbud comes with a 30mAh battery, and its case comes with a 410mAh power cell. It supports both wired and wireless charging.

Huawei P40 and P40 Pro first renders surface

We know that the Huawei P40 series will be coming in March 2020, with the launch rumoured to be happening in Paris, France. Now, we get our first look at the standard Huawei P40 and P40 Pro, which the company's CEO Richard Yu has said will feature a "never-before-seen" design. But from these renders, the phones look like they bear some resemblance to devices already out on the market. 

Leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks on Twitter), together with 91Mobiles, shared renders of the two devices. But they didn't mention where these designs came from. So, we must remind you to take them with a grain of salt. The renders also seem to be on the dark side, so we see more of a silhouette of the phones.

Huawei P40 series tipped for a March 2020 launch

While the flagship Huawei P40 will get a "never-before-seen" design, rumour has it that the Huawei P40 Lite will look like the just-launched Huawei Nova 6 SE pictured above

Huawei will reportedly launch its next flagship, the Huawei P40, in March 2020 in Paris, France. We don't have an exact date yet, but Frandroid reports that the phone will not come with Google Play Services. In its place, Huawei Mobile Services will be available. The change means you won't be able to download apps from the Play Store. But the phone will still launch with Android 10-based EMUI, just like when the P30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro launched. Of course, the lack of Google Play Services might put a damper in sales on this side of the world.

Huawei CEO Richard Yu said the Huawei P40 series will have a "never-before-seen" design, better picture quality, improved performance, and boosted AI. Admittedly, this is a promise that we come to expect from new flagships from any company, but we want to see how Huawei delivers. And if at this point, the US will finally lift its ban on Huawei. 

Huawei starts rolling out Android 10-based EMUI 10 to the Mate 20 Pro

While the new Huawei Mate 30 series doesn't come with Google services due to the company's ban from the US, its older models are still getting updated. Last year's end of the year flagship, Mate 20 Pro, is starting to get EMUI 10, which is based on Android 10. The said handset was expected to get the beta version of EMUI 10 in late September, so it makes sense that a stable version of the operating system is coming out now. However, the rollout seems to be in stages, so it hasn't shown up for users here yet. You should keep your eye out for the update to make its way to you soon, though. It's sized at 4.4GB with the build number "10.0.0.136."
