4 things I think about the Huawei Mate 40.
This is the big hardware play for Huawei in 2020 and I was hoping the Mate 40 would be the first HarmonyOS device. It isn’t, unfortunately.

The problem with Huawei.
Huawei is going to try and separate you from a lot of money for the pleasure of owning a shiny new P40, but what do you get in return?
Huawei plays its Google free cards
Bringing TomTom on board as the maps and navigation provider is the most clear indication yet of Huawei’s Google-free future.
Harmony is not (yet) on song
Huawei’s new operating system is trying to sneeze against thunder, but it just might turn Harmony OS into a storm-calming symphony.
This is why I love technology
Jony Ive leaving Apple on the eve of the Walkman’s 40th birthday gives surprising clarity to the importance of personal devices.
Don’t panic about your Huawei device
Your shiny new Huawei P30, Matebook X and Mate 20 Pro is still fine and will be for the immediate future. But Huawei are in serious trouble, unfortunately.
Huawei lost its Android license, what happens now?
Don’t panic. Google severed ties with Huawei after the Chinese firm was blacklisted by the US government, but it isn’t as bad as it seems.
Cheap phones sell well
Google’s latest budget Pixel 3a will do well because it is cheap without being cheap. It isn’t coming to South Africa, though.
The wearable market is open again
Read this before buying your next fitness tracker: Huawei Health got approved by Discovery Vitality. This changes everything.
