Huawei won’t back down, promises to deliver Android Q to at least 17 phones
Good news for Huawei phone owners
Here’s yet another news about Huawei. This time around though, it’s a bit of good news for current Huawei phone owners, and maybe even for future buyers. While the future of Huawei is still uncertain at this point because of the trade ban that’s still in effect, the Chinese tech giant has promised to still deliver future Android updates.
Huawei has confirmed that its EMUI 10 builds, which are based on the yet-to-be-final Android Q, are coming to at least 17 of its existing phones. The list includes its current flagships and a few older devices.
Here’s the complete set of devices so far:
- P30 Pro
- P30
- P30 Lite
- Mate 20 Pro
- Mate 20
- Mate 20 X
- Mate 20 X (5G)
- Mate 20 Lite
- Porsche Design Mate 20 RS
- P Smart 2019
- P Smart+ 2019
- P Smart Z
- P20 Pro
- P20
- Mate 10 Pro
- Mate 10
- Porsche Design Mate 10
It’s no secret that — just in case things don’t go well — Huawei has a backup mobile operating system that’ll replace Android. The final name of Huawei’s home-baked OS is yet to be confirmed, but the listing points to Ark OS or Hongmeng OS.

Additionally, Huawei’s sister company, Honor, will also seed out Android Q for its Honor 20 series. Like with Huawei, Honor also uses EMUI for its devices.
A pre-release build of EMUI 10 that’s based on Android Q is already previewed by the people from XDA Developers. More or less, this is what the future of Android looks like on Huawei phones. The interface changes done to EMUI 10 is pretty minimal and it’s not that different from EMUI 9 overall.

Moreover, Huawei has a useful FAQ page for its customers which addresses the concerns about current phones’ status, future, and warranty claims. You may read more about it here.

2026’s The Game Awards will stream live on Disney+
Annually, The Game Awards have become a sort of second Christmas for gamers. Besides a celebration of the past year in the world of videogames, the event hosts trailers for games of the upcoming year and beyond. Though it’s already free on several platforms, viewers can now tune in to Disney+ to watch this year’s Game Awards.
Hosted as always by Geoff Keighley, 2026’s The Game Awards will happen on December 10 at 7:30pm ET. Most of the event will award the best titles of various categories for the year. Several publishers and developers also use the event to announce their upcoming titles. It’s for these reasons that a lot of gamers catch the event every year.
This year, The Game Awards is streaming live on Disney+. This is in addition to its usual platforms including Twitch and YouTube. The Disney+ stream will be available in the United States and select territories internationally.
For now, gamers can also vote on their picks for various categories via the event’s website.
On the other hand, Disney+ has been pushing live events more adamantly. In the Philippines, for example, the platform is the home for live NBA coverage. Though it’s not as strong as Netflix’s gaming push with its assortment of free games, Disney+’s addition of the annual awards show is a worthy go for gamers.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang resigns after scandals
NVIDIA’s week is finally and mercifully coming to an end. After being implicated in two extramarital affairs, now-former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned from his position.
It’s been a terrible week for Huang’s personal life. Last weekend, a bombshell report revealed that Huang engaged in an affair with Alice Huang, who is reportedly involved with Chinese intelligence. Quickly realizing the heaviness of the allegations, the CEO admitted quickly to the affair.
However, barely 24 hours ago, another report revealed that Huang had a second extramarital affair. Though he was clear of any more espionage allegations, his romantic affair of choice was another executive within the company. NVIDIA’s board of directors quickly debated whether Huang should be fired for his actions.
Now, Huang has voluntarily resigned from his position. The former CEO leaves behind his spot at the head of the table since cofounding NVIDIA in 1993.
In his stead, the board of directors have named incumbent CFO Colette Kress as the company’s interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement. Despite her interim role, Kress will continue her duties as CFO.
Additionally, the board has named Harvey C. Jones, a member of board since its founding, as its first chair of the board.
Though the company will leave most of the controversy behind with Huang’s departure, its next chapter is about to begin. Will its new direction maintain the company’s tenuous balance between AI and gaming, or tip the scales towards one segment?

St. Peter reunited people with their deceased loved ones through tech
The new “If Heaven Could Write” campaign generates letters from the imagined perspectives of loved ones.
Grieving can take many forms. Sometimes, it manifests through a desire to hear a loved one again. We look at their old clothing, a gust of wind, or a butterfly, and imagine them talking to us one more time. This year, St. Peter, through the power of technology, gave 11,000 people that chance through its new “If Heaven Could Write” campaign.
During St. Peter Deathcare Week, which ran from October 27 through November 2, the deathcare provider started the “If Heaven Could Write” campaign, an interactive digital experience that offered participants a chance to reunite with their deceased loved ones. It was available in 37 St. Peter Chapels and 76 cemeteries nationwide.
Upon scanning a QR code which took them to a portal, participants answered questions about their loved ones. Then, the portal generates a personal letter from the imagined perspective of the participant’s loved one, giving them one more chance to converse.
Of course, an imagined letter can’t replace someone who passed away. Still, the experience affords us a way to grieve and process the loss. No, the letter isn’t really from your loved one, but you can imagine what they would have said while reading through it. And sometimes, that’s all we need.
Though St. Peter Deathcare Week has already come and gone for the year, those interested can still participate in the campaign through its link.
