Huawei MateBook X ProFor better and worse, the MateBook X Pro hasn't changed a lot since Huawei released the original model in 2018. It's still a great laptop, provided you can put up with its quirks. Igor Bonifacic / Android Authority
A newer version of this device is available. The Matebook X Pro (2020) was superseded by the Huawei MateBook X Pro (2021). You can find out more in our Huawei MateBook X Pro (2021) review.
LG V30 review: A photography and videography dream
Reviews
We had the opportunity to use the LG V30 for several days ahead of its launch in Berlin this week, and one question we wanted to answer during this time was “How good is the V30 compared to the LG G6?”
Is the V30 LG’s real 2017 flagship? Is it worth shelling out for the V30 if you already own the relatively new LG G6?
The camera is a really important part of any flagship, so let’s take a look at how this one stacks up.
Photo improvements A new image sensor processor The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus come with a new image sensor processor to help with multi-frame image processing.
The processor reduces noise by taking 12 photos at once. It then batches these into groups of four, grabbing all the details it can and keeping one composite from each group.
Acer Chromebook Spin 311The Acer Chromebook Spin 311 is a fine little machine. It's not a top performer, but it's not setting out to be. It delivers on its promise of solid everyday performance and killer battery life. If you need something simple to use around the house or give the kids, the Spin 311 makes a lot of sense. The Acer Chromebook Spin 311 is a minimalist machine meant for students and those with lightweight, everyday computing needs.

TL;DR
A new report claims Google is developing an in-house, Google-branded smartwatch, which could debut next year. The smartwatch would offer basic fitness tracking and day-long battery life and would compete with the Apple Watch. The Google watch is not to be confused with Fitbit’s Wear OS smartwatch, which was teased at Google I/O 2021. It’s almost laughable how many Google Pixel Watch rumors there’ve been over the years.
Google’s recent Pixel 4 release has divided the tech community thanks to the company’s controversial decisions. The device’s lack of an ultra-wide camera, the diminutive battery size, and the relatively high price have all made for a bumpy launch.
Although, saying that, whose launch has been watertight this year? That got me thinking — how’s the Pixel 4’s predecessor doing after 12 months? Is the Pixel 3 XL still worth buying, or should you instead opt for one of the many great-value smartphones on the market today?
In this post, which will be updated regularly, we take a closer look at the latest rumors surrounding the upcoming HTC U12.
Last year’s HTC U11 was a great smartphone, but it was no match for Samsung’s mighty Galaxy S8 or Google’s Pixel 2. Its dated design and lack of a dual-camera setup were just a couple reasons why it didn’t grab a lot of attention.
HTC is gearing up to announce its successor, likely called the U12 or U12 Plus (more on that later).
