We've all heard about Artificial Intelligence (AI) but only few of us know exactly what it means and how does it impact our everyday life. When thinking about AI, many Baby Boomers and X Gens think of the old sci-fi films and scenes where machines come alive and take over the world. But that's just a funny representation how humans used to perceive the unknown. If you remember the old TV show'Beyond 2000', you may recall that their ideas and inventions were outstanding at the time, which only shows the potential of the technology. What is in fact AI and what are the examples we can see on mobile?

The iPhone XR looks to offer most of what made the iPhone XS a knockout for £250 less – but with a colourful body and a slightly larger screen is this the iPhone to buy? With the iPhone XS and XS Max starting at £999 and £1,099 respectively, Apple has room to shoehorn a slightly lower cost, but still expensive, model in underneath. The iPhone XR is that model, but with a slightly larger screen than the 5.8in iPhone XS that's also a little smaller than the 6.5in iPhone XS Max, it offers something subtly different too. The 6.1in LCD is colourful and relatively crisp with excellent viewing angles, but just not quite as brilliant as the OLED displays on the top iPhones or rivals of a similar price. The bezels are also noticeably larger than the other iPhones, making it look a little like an iPhone XS permanently in a case.

Huawei has made really good phones for years, but the Mate 20 Pro is the Chinese firm's first truly cutting-edge device with a triple camera, 3D face unlock and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The Mate series of phones has always delivered one thing above all else – battery life. This year Huawei has gone out of its way to deliver even more. The Mate 20 Pro is the best feeling, most premium device the Chinese firm has made. It's incredibly solid, smooth and well built, but at 189g is still surprisingly light and manageable compared to the 208g iPhone XS Max and 201g Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

AI is the name of the game as new Android-powered machines push the innovation envelope. Last week's launch by Google of its Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones and last night's (16 October) launch by Huawei of its new flagship Mate 20 Pro indicate a rising sophistication among Android phone manufacturers. The style isn't just in the materials used to make attractive-looking devices, but also under the hood in terms of powerful new electronics and new dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI). 'Consumers are holding on to their handsets longer and longer, so making sure they're able to run effectively for their entire lifespan should be a key concern for manufacturers' – DOMINIC SUNNEBO For example, Google's Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL came with such refinements as the Snapdragon 845 processor, an amazing camera, 4GB of RAM front-facing stereo speakers and a new Titan M security chip. The Huawei smartphones feature a powerful new Kirin 980 processor – claimed to be Huawei's first 7nm devices – which will considerably step up the game against Apple's new A12 chip in the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR devices.

Chinese technology giant Huawei on Tuesday unveiled its flagship Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20X and Porsche Design Mate 20RS smartphones at an event at ExCel -- the largest conference venue in London. These are the first devices from Huawei's stable to be powered by the world's first 5G-ready 7nm (nanometre) chipset Kirin 980, equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities. No Mate series device has, however, made it to India before and the company has not made it clear yet if the new line-up will be launched in India. HUAWEI Mate 20 with 4GB RAM 128GB ROM configuration would be available for 799 euros (roughly Rs 67,800) and HUAWEI Mate 20 with 6GB RAM 128GB storage configuration would cost 849 euros (Rs 72,000, approximately). Both devices went on sale on Tuesday.

Huawei's new Mate 20 Pro has a massive screen, three cameras on the back and a fingerprint scanner embedded in the display. The new top-end phone from the Chinese firm aims to secure its place at the top of the market alongside Samsung, having recently beaten Apple to become the second-largest smartphone manufacturer in August. The Mate 20 Pro follows Huawei's tried and trusted format for its Mate series: a huge 6.39in QHD OLED screen, big 4,200mAh battery and powerful new Huawei Kirin 980 processor – Huawei's first to be produced at 7 nanometres, matching Apple's latest A12 chip in the 2018 iPhones. New for this year is an infrared 3D facial recognition system, similar to that used by Apple for its Face ID in the iPhone XS, and one of the first fingerprint scanners embedded in the screen that is widely available in the UK, removing the need for a fingerprint scanner on the back or a notch on the front. The Mate 20 Pro is water resistant to IP68 standards and has a sleek new design reminiscent of Samsung's S-series phones, with curved glass on the front and back.
