It looks like the final version of Android is coming real soon—tomorrow, to be exact. Canadian carriers Rogers and Telus leaked on their support forums information that the Pixel phones will be getting the latest version of Android on September 3rd. Both have since taken out this info, but the release of Android 10 is imminent. The final beta for Android 10 was released a month ago. Google said at that time that the public rollout was "just a few weeks away." Plus, Google's Pixel phones usually get first dibs on the latest version of Android. This newest version of Android might be hitting more smartphones in a timely fashion as over two dozen phone manufacturers were rolling out beta versions of the operating system.

Huawei will launch the Mate 30 series on September 19th

We get the official word now. Huawei's next flagship series is going to launch on September 19th. And the biggest question hanging over it is what operating system the Mate 30 series will run. The company teased the upcoming event with a short video on Twitter. It'll be launched in Munich, Germany, with the tagline "Rethink Possibilities." The company certainly has to rethink possibilities because it's still banned from doing businesses with US companies—including its software provider Google. We wait to see how Huawei will respond to this considerable limitation.

Tesla makes Model 3's interiors 100% leather-free

Tesla just announced that the Model 3's interiors are now entirely leather-free. The automaker has been pressured by entities like PETA to make its cars vegan. The company has already shifted all its seat options to the "Tesla Synthetic Material," which isn't animal-sourced. But the Model 3 wasn't completely vegan because its steering wheel was still made with leather. Now, the company upgraded the steering wheel cover to the same synthetic leather option, which makes its interior "100% leather-free."

The Tesla Synthetic Material used for the steering wheel cover was available as options for the Model S and Model X. But this wasn't the case for the Model 3. Tesla introduced this synthetic material back in 2016 as the "ultra white" option. And it was proven to be popular with Tesla owners. Now, with the upcoming Model Y compact SUV, Elon Musk said at a shareholder meeting that the said vehicle would be vegan from the start.

Once this feature gets polished, you won't need to have a local copy of Windows 10 to reinstall it. The latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build Fast Ring version has a "download Windows" option available when you want to reset your PC. Similar to what Macs can do for years, this feature will let you use your broadband connection to get a fresh install from the cloud. There won't be a need for a backup partition or thumb drive to reset your machine. The caveat is that it'll wipe your existing apps as well as your data if you choose to "remove everything."

This feature will prove handy when your version of Windows isn't working as it should. But you must remember that right now this is still a pre-release software version. You might want to wait until the final version is released before you attempt to reinstall Windows from the cloud.
