This has to be the longest entrance queue I’ve stood in for some time
Made it past reg, and into the event!
Starting with a bit of music…
Utterly packed here
And we start!
Richard is onstage
No messing, straight in
Once more the WiFi is too poor to get all these photos up.
So far
3D scan with skeletal reconstruction is insane. Watching this teddy bear run around on stage was too much.
Android P!
Not sure about their gesture implementation just yet though
Calorie calculator
Miracast for PC mode!
Leaving the cables behind theme continues. 1000 photos transferrable in 2 mins (where PC supports it…)
Bob is biggin’ up Pie
World first depth aware face unlock in an Android device. Face unlock can be used anywhere fingerprint Auth is used today (app purchases, so on)
We have 2019 signature devices
Of course they’re AER
There’s a statistics-based growing perception that AER devices are more secure than iOS?!
In summary… (struggling to focus)
Well of course there’s a Porsche design… Mate 20 RS
Huawei are properly pushing the boat out this year, particularly with the Pro.
Reverse wireless charging and in-display fingerprint caught my attention, but I’m sure the camera setup will deliver awesome results, the AI tools offered some cool tricks both on photos and videos, and if the performance is near what they’re suggesting it’ll blow the competition out of the water
WHAT
Mate 20 X
I need one of these running Android One.
“the best mobile gaming machine”
Comparing it with the Nintendo switch
Comes in blue and silver
Every time I think he’s finished…
Hopefully again it lives up. My current Huawei watch is dog slow.
This could well offer feasible sleep monitoring, given normally watches need to be charged too often (typically overnight). 2 weeks of life could help to get a good metric without planning charges around it.
Off to demo!
Look who I found!
Martin @ Google
Markus @ MobileIron
What a lovely surprise!
I also got a bit of hands on with the X:
And after a bit of party:
It’s time to head home with my phone expertly disguised:
Thanks for the invite Huawei!
