    Huawei’s next flagship phones are going big on gradients.

    The Pura 90 series will launch in China on April 20th, and the phones will be decked out in a series of colorful gradient finishes. GizmoChina has images of the full line of Pura 90 Pro and Pro Max colors, but I’m a fan of this sunset Pro Max Huawei has teased on Weibo.

    Gradients aren’t new for Huawei — its P20 and P30 phones had similar finishes.

    I see what you did there.

    Digital privacy non-profit the Electronic Frontier Foundation has announced it’s leaving X, citing a sharp decline in views for its posts. With EFF off the platform, some commenters agree with the organization’s thinking.

    Android’s “tap to share” looks a little different to Apple’s.

    Last month Android Authority reported Google is developing an NFC-based way to share contact info, files, links, and more, and now it’s got the interface running. Unlike Apple’s NameDrop, users have to hold the two phones above one another, perhaps to account for how varied NFC chip placement can be on Android devices.

    <em>While iPhone users hold their phones edge to edge, on Android the phones must overlap.</em>
    <em>Sharing options include photos, videos, and contact info.</em>

    It just rolls off the tongue.

    Yesterday we found out the price of the new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition, the real name of a real product that I guess buyers are expected to learn.

    Great name!

    That’s no moon.

    As Artemis II sends back some wallpaper-worthy photos of the Moon and a solar eclipse, it may have given Samsung some inspiration for its next generation of smartphone cameras.

    Thegovier:

    Hopefully Samsung will add this to their photography AI so we can all take perfect photos next time we’re on the other side of the moon.

    Apple’s foldable iPhone to use Samsung display.

    The Elec reports that Samsung Display secured a three-year exclusivity deal for folding iPhone screens, with the maybe-delayed, maybe-not-delayed Apple foldable due later this year. The question is whether Apple is getting the nearly creaseless panels Samsung showed off at CES, which it will need to match the Oppo Find N6.

    Will the foldable iPhone use Samsung Display’s “crease-less” display we saw at CES?

    Japan gets the Pixel 10A in a snazzy new blue.

    Google’s latest affordable phone launched in Japan today, more than a month after its release elsewhere. The wait might have been worth it though, since Japanese buyers can get the phone in an exclusive isai blue finish, designed in partnership with Heralbony, a creative company that works with artists with disabilities.
