Huawei will stop making low-end smartphones, see why.

2017-08-01T11:07:00.000+01:00

Huawei is the third largest phone manufacturer behind Apple and Samsung, it is also dominating the Chinese market with it amazing device.

However, the company have decided to stop producing low-end device but to concentrate on mid-range and high-end smartphones.

The decision is part of their restructuring strategy to boost sales since the company doesn't make enough profit from low-end smartphones.

Base on the statement made by Huawei's CEO Richard Yu

"We are giving up the very low-end devices because the margin in this is extremely low, and it’s not making enough profit for us. The priority is Europe, China, and Japan, where the economy is healthy and people are able to consume them"

Huawei are not the only manufacturer's that have come up with such decision, other OME like HTC, LG and Blackberry have stop offering sales of low-end smartphones as a result of low profit.

Huawei appears to be ambitious, the company has target to sell 150 million units of it device,and breaking into the north America to compete with top brands like Apple and Samsung.

The company will be unveiling the Huawei Mate 10 which is another premium device to compete with the likes of Samsung galaxy 8 and IPhone 8.

Richard Yu also said “The Mate 10, which has much longer battery life with a full-screen display, quicker changing speed, better photographing capability and many other features that will help us compete with Apple.”

What's you're take on this since there are people who can't afford premium device due to it high cost? However, there are still Huawie low-end device in the market for now, though when the stock runs out that will be the end.

Anyway, you have nothing to worry about, there are other low-end smartphones you can get, the likes of Tecno, infinix, gionee and itel still produces low-end device on a daily basis.

Google stop it's Google instant search feature-See it reason

2017-07-30T21:27:00.001+01:00

Google is eliminating it instant search feature on desktop Web search, the search features which automatically suggest related search when you type in a query was introduced in 2010 under Marissa Mayer, the former company’s vice president of search and user experience.

Let me explain how the instant search works, Google search is the feature that shows you the search queries of what it thinks you want to type, it populates related and unrelated search results as suggestions.

Google adds panic button in Android to fight malware.

However, Google have decide to stop the feature since more than half of Google search happens on phone, and instant search don't appear on mobile screen.

This is what Google have to say concerning their decision.

"We launched Google Instant back in 2010 with the goal to provide users with the information they need as quickly as possible, even as they typed their searches on desktop devices. Since then, many more of our searches happen on mobile, with very different input and interaction and screen constraints. With this in mind, we have decided to remove Google Instant, so we can focus on ways to make Search even faster and more fluid on all devices".

There have always been an option for users to turn of instant search, now it will be eliminated to make good search experience across desktop and mobile.

When you type in a search query, you will only see search suggestions that shows in a standard drop-down menu.

No pages will load on the background, you will have to click enter to for the results to be shown.

The instant search feature have been very useful, it makes you get results faster though it also pop up unrelated search results.
