Huawei commits to 24 months of software updates

Taylor Wimberly of Huawei Device USA has chimed in on Google+ to announce the company's plan to commit to a 2-year time frame of software updates. Starting this year, the company will provide new customers with access to new features for up to 24 months after device purchase.
Wimberly added that updates during the first year will be more frequent with new features coming out at least once every 3 months.
Since Android has been undergoing some security hurdles, Wimberly noted that software updates related to bug fixes and security will be provided in a timely manner.
The Huawei Honor 8 is the company's latest phone and we'll keep an eye on it to see if Huawei sticks to its promise.

Image
Garmin has announced a new fitness tracker for children aged four to nine, and it's called the Vivofit Jr. Along with its functions as an activity tracker, Garmin also boasts it as a motivator since its aim is to help inactive kids create new and healthy habits. The Vivofit Jr. has a one-year of battery life, as well as water resistance, sleep monitoring and step counting. It also comes in a bunch of interesting looking designs. Garmin bundles the activity tracker with a free app, which is compatible with iOS and Android. It has a "mobile adventure trail", which helps the child move about for a 60-minute daily goal. The color options you see above are digi camo, real flower and broken lava but plain black and purple strike will also be available. The Garmin Vivofit Jr. costs $80 and will be available in Target and Best Buy in the US. Source

Nvidia Launches GameStream, Adds Shield Button-Mapping

Image
Shield updated to Android 4.3. If you're an owner of Nvidia's portable Shield gaming console, there's some fairly hefty announcements coming your way today. As IGN previously reported from an event in Montreal , GameStream--beaming compatible PC games from your GTX-ready rig to the Shield--has officially left beta. And on the Android side, the Shield's library of mobile games has expanded considerably. After its launch, the Shield was only compatible with a particular list of Android games. But starting today, Nvidia has launched the Shield Gamepad Mapper, allowing nearly any Android title to be converted to Shield's controller inputs. Nvidia will release button mapping profiles on a weekly basis via over-the-air updates, but it's also possible to set your own configurations and share them with friends. IGN's review of the Nvidia Shield did take some contention with the--then beta--streaming of PC games to the portable unit. After spendin...

Is Killzone: Mercenary the Vita's First Great Multiplayer Shooter?

Image
Closed beta offers an early glimpse of the game's multiplayer suite. In the year and a half since PS Vita launched, owners have been clamoring for a capable first-person shooter experience. Initially, it seemed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Declassified or Resistance: Burning Skies would fill that void, but as critics and fans of the franchise would soon discover, they did anything but. Now, as Killzone: Mercenary kicks off its multiplayer beta ahead of its September launch, has the PS Vita's first exceptional shooter arrived? With 8-player multiplayer matches and both deathmatch and objective-based modes, Mercenary shares common DNA with Burning Skies and Declassified, but the similarities more or less end there. Harnessing the power of a modified version of the Killzone 3 engine, Mercenary is a significant graphical leap forward for the ...

HTC 10 shows its face again, black version pictured

Image
HTC 10 is going official on April 12 but we know pretty much everything there is to know about company's next big thing. We know the design is a hybrid between the One M9 and One A9, we know about its Quad HD AMOLED screen and Snapdragon 820 chip, the possibility of a Snapdragon 652 model, its rumored retail price at €740, even the reported April 15 as a lunch date. HTC has begun a marketing campaign with teasers over the social networks, but the leaks are quite more revealing than HTC's hints. Today's leak show the black flavor of the HTC 10 shot next to its silver sibling. We've seen its metal chassis leak already in detail, though, and this gloomy shot only shows yet another view of the black version. Fingers crossed HTC did manage to keep something from leaking and will surprise us on April 12. Source • Via
