Mobile phone spy on Honor View 30 Pro

Maps was last updated on May 16, Google Docs on May 7. The severity of the restrictions imposed on Huawei make it impossible to recommend buying a Huawei or Honor phone at present. Huawei and Honor released a joint statement that, while understandably vague, tries to placate owners a little.

The company confirmed it will continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products. This includes those that have been sold and those in stock in shops. The timing is particularly uncomfortable for sister brand Honor, which plans to launch a high-end phone on Tuesday May An Honor representative told us the launch will still go ahead, but in what form it will present the phone is hard to fathom, given the impact of this ruling. Huawei had some idea these measures would arrive, though.

According to Bloomberg , the company has a three-month stockpile of components, which are also affected by the ban. Some Huawei phones use Qualcomm processors, for example. Its laptops use Intel processors. They use ARM-designed components. A report from suggests Huawei was, or is, developing a proprietary alternative to Android.

Samsung tried with the Bada and Tizen mobile operating systems, but today you will only find Tizen in Samsung wearables like the Galaxy Watch. In this case, Huawei will supply the app store, and its phones' software services, but continue to use Android as the root of the system.

This gives Huawei phones a very different, and less palatable, outlook. It is the number two global smartphone manufacturer according to IDC, second only to Samsung. Talks over 5G infrastructure have further inflamed these tensions. These fears are not groundless, as it is believed Chinese companies like Huawei cannot operate without significant state interaction or interference.

However, claims that Huawei employees are all state actors do seem thoroughly overcooked, too. They may be made in China, but they are US products. Blame honesty.

Other examples of what Google Lens can do include being able to take a picture of the SSID sticker on the back of a Wi-Fi router, after which your phone will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network without you needing to do anything else. Yep, no more crawling under the cupboard in order to read out the password whilst typing it in your phone. Now, with Google Lens, you can literally point and shoot.

Google Lens will recognise restaurants, clubs, cafes, and bars, too, presenting you with a pop-up window showing reviews, address details and opening times. It's the ability to recognise everyday objects that's impressive.

It will recognise a hand and suggest the thumbs up emoji, which is a bit of fun, but point it at a drink, and it will try and figure out what it is. We tested this functionality with a glass of white wine. It didn't suggest white wine to us, but it did suggest a whole range of other alcoholic drinks, letting you then tap through to see what they are, how to make them, and so on. That shows that, while Lens is fast and clever, it's not always accurate.

Google has a standalone app on Android for Google Lens if you want to get straight into the features. You can access Google Lens through a whole range of other methods, as detailed below. The experience is similar whichever approach you take; tapping the Lens icon in Google Assistant takes you through to the same view you get directly in the Lens app.

Within Google Assistant you'll see a Google Lens icon in the bottom right-hand corner. You can tap it and point your smartphone camera at, for instance, show times outside a cinema or a gig venue's information board. You'll will then be presented with a number of suggestions in the viewfinder, such as hear some songs from the artist picked up from the information board, get tickets for the event through TicketMaster, or add the event to your calendar.

Using Lens to get information without having to write it down is handy; you'll be able to call numbers, for example, without having to remember them or manually type them. Within Google Photos, Google Lens can identify buildings or landmarks, for instance, presenting users with directions and opening hours for them. It will also be able to present information on a famous work of art.

Maybe it will solve the debate of whether the Mona Lisa is smiling or not.

When browsing your pictures in Google Photos, you'll see the Google Lens icon in the bottom of the window. Tapping on the icon will see the scanning dots appearing on you picture and then Google will serve up suggestions. In some Android phones, including the Pixel and others, Google Lens has been been directly added to the device's own camera app.

It might be in the 'More' section, but will differ depending on manufacturer and user interface. If you're an Android device user, you can access the app. However, there are some exceptions, such as the banned-from-Google-Services phones such as the Huawei Mate 30 Pro - so it's worth checking on Google Play to see if you can get it.
