Huawei Mate 30E Pro makes quiet debut with Kirin 990E chipset

Huawei had a big day today, announcing the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro+, and Porsche Design Mate 40 RS. As it turns out, however, those four just weren't enough, and so the company quietly unveiled a fifth phone in its home market, China.

This is the Huawei Mate 30E Pro, which is now up for reservation in the country. It's basically identical to the Mate 30 Pro from last year, save for one difference: the new model is powered by a new chipset, the Kirin 990E. This is itself an improved version of the Kirin 990 that made its debut in the Mate 30 Pro.

The Kirin 990E in the Mate 30E Pro still has two Cortex-A76 performance cores clocked at up to 2.86 GHz, but the other six cores get a boost. The additional pair of A76s now go up to 2.36 GHz (up from 2.09 GHz), while the four Cortex-A55s are clocked at 1.95 GHz (up from 1.86 GHz). On the GPU side, we still get a Mali-G76, but with two less cores - it's an MP14 in the 990E, whereas the 990 had an MP16. The Kirin 990E is fabbed on a 7nm+ process.

The Mate 30E Pro will launch running EMUI 11, which is still based on Android 10 like EMUI 10 which is what the Mate 30 Pro ran on day one. The new phone is expected to become available in China on November 1. It will get vegan leather orange and green color versions on top of the glass-clad black, Space Silver, Cosmic Purple, and Emerald Green.

Samsung Galaxy S10e

  The Samsung Galaxy S10e has almost everything its bigger siblings do, in a more hand-friendly form factor at a lower price. It even one-ups the more expensive Galaxy   phones   with a better-located fingerprint sensor and a more case-friendly form factor. At $749.99, it's a perfect staging area to wait for the   5G   revolution coming in the next two years, and our first Editors' Choice flagship phone for 2019. Samsung's trio of S10 models offer similar performance, with different physical sizes and prices. The S10e starts at $749. The "regular"  S10  costs $899, with a bigger, curved screen, and a 2x zoom camera. Finally, the large  Galaxy S10+  starts at $999 and adds a second camera (for depth) on the front. The S10e isn't actually that much smaller than the S10. It measures  5.6 by 2.8 by 0.3 inches, while the S10 is  5.9 by 2.8 by 0.3 inches. The S10+, meanwhile, measures  6.2 by 2.9 by 0.3 inches. I generally find phones over 2.8 inches wide to require

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

  The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the most flexible, powerful Android productivity tool available, with spectacular connectivity, long battery life, a fantastic stylus, and a gigantic screen. It's also a do-over. Samsung's huge, luxurious slab of Qualcomm's finest chips and the latest Gorilla Glass, is what the  Galaxy S20 Ultra  should have been. Where the S20 Ultra stumbled in the camera department, the Note 20 Ultra features a laser autofocus module that fixes its predecessors failures, making it the  phone  to turn to for reliable super-zoom. My only real hesitation here is the Note's top-of-the-line $1,299 starting price, which feels out of touch with our pandemic-ravaged economy. Design: You Already Know It's Big The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is very large. At 6.49 by 3.04 by 0.32 inches (HWD), it's noticeably taller and ever so slightly wider than the  Galaxy Note 10+  (6.39 by 3.04 by 0.31 inches). It isn't wider than the  iPhone 11 Pro Max  (6.20 by 3.06 by

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G Review

Image
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is everything you need, and nothing else. Samsung pared down its flagship S20 series to a more palatable $699.99 price, and the result is a value-minded standard-bearer to properly face up against the forthcoming  iPhone 12  line. With fast performance, solid cameras, and often substantial discounts at major wireless providers, the S20 FE 5G becomes our default  Android phone  recommendation for 2020, as well as our Editors' Choice. So Many Options, So Much Time Samsung has a ton of phones out right now, but the two you should keep in mind are the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the  Galaxy Note 20 Ultra  ($1,299). These two models offer flagship and super-flagship performance; the S20 FE will satisfy most people, while the Note 20 Ultra adds an even better screen, an S Pen stylus, and the best phone camera we've tested. ADVERTISEMENT They're also a reset from Samsung's strategy earlier this year. While we recommended the $1,199  Galaxy S20+  as our Edito
