Huawei didn’t announce any new phones at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, but they used the gathering to bring their latest and greatest smartphones to date to US soil.

Consumers in Asia and Europe are already familiar with the new Huawei Mate 10 series, but Americans are yet to get hold of the premium devices officially. No need to import through international online stores anymore, because the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Porsche Design Mate 10 will be available in the US on February 18.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro will be available through major electronics retailers including Best Buy, Amazon, Microsoft, Newegg, and B&H, with pre-orders starting on February 4. It’ll be sold unlocked for US$ 799 in midnight blue, titanium gray, and mocha brown colors.

Porsche Design Huawei Mate 10

As for the Porsche Design Mate 10, it will be sold for US$ 1,225 through Amazon, Best Buy, and Microsoft stores. Porsche Design Stores in the US will also carry the phone by the end of February. The special edition of the Mate 10 is more expensive than the Apple iPhone X, but has exclusive customizations and a luxurious diamond black color. Its aesthetic is in line with other Porsche Design products, too.

Both Mate 10 phones support GSM networks in the US like AT&T, T-Mobile, Cricket, MetroPCS, Simple Mobile, and Tracfone.

The future of smart appliances is upon us.

LG has not only dared to venture into connected kitchen technology, they’ve taken it a step further with their newest smart appliances. We got to see all this at CES.

The InstaView ThinQ is the fridge of the future. It’s equipped with the smart voice assistant Alexa which means you will be able to talk to it — the better to figure out what you want to eat! Not only that, it will suggest recipes depending on what food items you have stored. The best part is that it can be connected to your phone and all your other smart appliances for a seamless everyday home experience.
