US to ease Huawei trade restrictions with heavy caveats
The Trump administration is giving some clarity to the Huawei ban and how they will ease it. US Commerce Secretary just said they will issue licenses to products that are not a threat to the US. They did say that Huawei is still on the entity list and doesn’t change the scope of items requiring licenses. We still don’t know if they can use Android but Intel and Qualcomm have been silently rooting for the government to ease the ban as they state that smartphones and laptops servers are not security issues. Huawei spent $11B in American equipment last year.
[Update: Note 10+] Galaxy Note 10 renders show off gradient color variant in our best look yet
We have new renders that look very official of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 provided by WinFuture that show off the color variants. We have a Prism Silver that looks a lot like the P20 Pro’s gradient along with the usual black variant. This is the regular Note 10 which is why it lacks the extra camera lens. SamMobile sources also tell us that the 5G variant of the Note 10’s storage will start at 256GB and go up all the way to 1TB, the 1TB will have 12GB of RAM.
Story of the day:
Nintendo Switch Lite is a smaller, cheaper Switch built exclusively for handheld play
Nintendo just announced the Nintendo Switch Lite, which should make many of you happy if you’re looking for the Nintendo Switch experience on a budget, but there’s a catch. See, usually Lite versions of a product are just less powerful devices that provide the same experience or slightly watered down. This one does not. Think of the Switch Lite as more of a DS or GameBoy that can play Nintendo Switch games.
○ That means this is a handheld only device, so it won’t come with a hub in the box and you can’t just buy one and connect it to your TV. That won’t work.
○ Technically you can play all existing games, but Nintendo made so much emphasis on games having to mention that they support handheld mode, that it does make us think there might be games that won’t work with it in the future.
○ The Joy-cons are also built-in, so do not break them. I’ve already replaced a pair on my switch. Still they do bring improvements in better directional controls as an alterative to the joy sticks.
○ This means the controls don’t have vibration or motion support, but you can pair a standard set of joycons with it, obviously sold separately.
○ Really the only benefit over a standard Switch is improved battery life thanks to a better chip placement
Color options will be yellow, gray and turquoise, and expect a launch in September for $199.
