If this price is true, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite might sell like hotcakes to those who’ve always wanted a Galaxy Note!

An affordable Galaxy Note

The Galaxy Note 10 Lite will still run Samsung’s ecosystem of apps like Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, and Samsung Knox. It will be available in three colors: Aura Glow, Aura Black, and Aura Red.

When Samsung showcased the Galaxy A51 and A71, it was only a matter of time before it went on sale. As Samsung is preparing for its Unpacked event, it looks like the Galaxy A71 will make some noise too.

GadgetMatch was tipped by a Matchketeer from a reputable store in the Philippines. Expectedly, the Galaxy A71 will go on sale in February, priced at PhP 22,990 (US$ 451). Surprisingly, it follows its predecessor’s launch price.

Following BLACKPINK’s appearance in Jakarta where Samsung showcased the Galaxy A51 and A71, it looks like Samsung Philippines is going after the same direction. The Galaxy A71 might launch locally and start pre-order during the Awesome event!

Awesome screen, awesome camera, long-lasting battery life

Samsung’s Galaxy A71 is much-awaited, thanks to its promising awesome screen, awesome camera, and long-lasting battery life. It sports a 6.7-inch FHD Super AMOLED Display, packed with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM with 128GB of internal storage, expandable through a microSD card slot.

We often get asked for recommendations on a capable laptop but one that fits the budget for most people who are just getting started with their careers. Budget constraints make it a tough question but it appears Huawei has an answer with the Matebook D 15″.

Entry-level laptops do exist, but rarely do they come in the form factor and look that you get with the huawei matebook d 15″. As the name suggests, it has a 15.6-inch 16:9 IPS LCD 1080p display with an 87 percent screen-to-body ratio. That display is also TUV Rheinland certified for low blue light emission making it easy on the eyes.

Speaking of being easy on the eyes, one look and you would think this laptop is beyond your budget. It’s very reminiscent of a certain expensive line of laptops from another brand.

Like those laptops, its power button also has a fingerprint sensor. This makes authentication and turning the device on a seamless single motion. It also has this nifty features that’s almost a requirement with laptop these days — a recessing webcam. It sits alongside the function keys and the camera stays hidden when not in use.

Powered by AMD Ryzen

inside the Huawei Matebook D 15 is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor along with up to 8gb of ram. That means this laptop has enough juice to run multiple apps at the same time like a browser with multiple tabs open, spreadsheets, word documents. There’s also the AMD Radeon Vega 8 for graphics support, perfect for your photo editing projects.

You can get things done with several apps running in the background without worrying that the laptop will slow down or heat up. The laptop includes a new version of the Huawei Shark Fin fan for better cooling. For storage, the Matebook D 15″ may be configured with a combination of SSD and hard disk options.

To juice it up, the laptop comes with a 65W USB-C charger. If you also own a Huawei smartphone, you can charge it using this power bring. It’s smart enough to know when to stop drawing power to avoid overcharging.

Other than the obvious USB-C port you also get one USB-A 3.0 port, two USB-A 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The laptop has two digital speakers and integrated digital microphones if you don’t have a device to plug in that jack.

Speaking of having a Huawei phone, the Matebook D 15″ comes with Huawei Share. The feature lets you sync your phone screen to the laptop and lends you access to all the phone’s apps and functions without needing to touch your phone. Neat!

Pricing and availability

The Huawei Matebook D 15″ comes in Space Grey . It retails for PhP 37,990. Pre-order period is from February 8 to 14, 2020. Those who pre-order will also get a hold of PhP 9,990 worth of freebies including a Huawei T3 8″ tablet, a Huawei Bluetooth mouse, and a Huawei backpack.
