HUAWEI MATE 20 PRO REVIEW: THE BEST AMERICA CAN’T GET e last year, Huawei was laboring behind the scenes to secure its first carrier deal in the United States for its freshly unveiled Mate 10 Pro flagship phone. The plan was that Huawei would re-announce the device at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, with AT&T as its star partner. Except, at the very last moment, pressure from the US government convinced AT&T to  pull out of the deal , leaving Huawei  embarrassed and frustrated . Things got worse a month later, when the FBI, CIA, and NSA collectively warned US citizens off  Huawei phones, arguing they pose a security and privacy risk due to the company’s ties to the Chinese government. Whether you invest faith in the unproven allegations against Huawei or not, the fact is you won’t be able to buy the company’s new  Mate 20 Pro   at all  in the United States, not even unlocked.

The other key feature is interchangeable dual batteries. The thought here is that if you're working on-site somewhere, you can fill...

Android’s new multitasking is terrible and should be changed back   I’ve been using the Google Pixel 3 XL since its launch two weeks ago, and I wholeheartedly agree with  our review ’s conclusion that the Pixel 3 offers the best Android experience right now. But there’s one aspect of that Android experience that I can’t abide, and no, it’s not the gargantuan notch. It’s the appallingly bad new multitasking system, which is mandatory on this year’s Pixel generation, foregoing the option of the old familiar Android button trio as we had with the Pixel 2 on the same Android 9 Pie OS. On its surface, Google’s new approach to switching between apps looks a whole lot like the one Apple introduced with the iPhone X. It relies on swipes and shares two of the same fundamental gestures: one swipe up from the bottom of the screen brings up the multitasking overview, while lateral swipes across the bottom navigation bar flip between apps.
