New Huawei P6-U06 spy shots show off black, brushed metallic body

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Huawei's P6U06 gets another round of spy shots, this time " data-src-height="349" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/huawei-p6-u06-2.jpg" style="height: 349px; margin: 4px; width: 619px;" /></div>Quite frankly, Huawei's 6.18mm-thick P6-U06 is quickly becoming the company's worst leak in this half of 2013. Following yesterday's spy shots of said phone in black, today we received three new ones courtesy of an anonymous tipster, and this time we have a close-up of the brushed metallic back of the phone. Interestingly, the camera looks different than the one -- what appears to be a dual-SIM model -- in the TENAA filing, and we also noticed that the volume rocker is on the left side of the phone this time, while the headphone jack is now located at the top left side instead of at the bottom left. The overall shape of the device matches what we've seen before, though.<br /> On a related note, we've also been notified of an upcoming Huawei launch event in London on June 18th (Huawei Device chairman Richard Yu told us he's attending), and we wouldn't be surprised to see this slim phone popping up there -- hopefully alongside the mysterious Edge that was leaked in March. Two more shots of the P6-U06 after the break.<br /> <strong>Update:</strong> Meixcan blog <em>Circular</em> got hold of a couple of photos -- embedded after the break -- of the P6-U06 lit up. One of the shots reveal that the phone features a 1.5GHz quad-core chip, 2GB RAM and 8GB of storage space, along with Emotion UI 1.6 running on top of Android. We're not sure if the "No SD card found" message is an indication of microSD expansion, though.<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Huawei's P6U06 gets another round of spy shots, this time " data-src-height="350" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/huawei-p6-u06-3.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Huawei's P6U06 gets another round of spy shots, this time " data-src-height="369" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/huawei-p6-u06-1.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="New Huawei P6U06 spy shots show off black, brushed metallic body" data-src-height="500" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/huawei-p6-u06-mexico.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div></div></div>

Living with Google Glass, Day Three: Security Checkpoint

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"><div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/glass-2013-04-24-619-25-1366916916.jpg" /></div>You might be inclined to think that airport security is not the best place to wear Google Glass. You'd probably be right, but given the amount that I travel it was pretty-well inevitable that I'd cross through some security checkpoint before the course of this testing would be through.<br /><div class="more-info"><br /></div>I'm honored to be part of the XPRIZE Visioneering conference this week, a gathering of incredible minds putting their considerable brainpower behind the creation of competitions to make the world a better place. But, to take part I'd have to get out to California, and that meant yet another long flight across the country -- and another trip through the full-body scanner. The question is, how would the folks at airport security react to it?<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VZ8q0m-pBFQ?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe> <br /><div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"></div>As it turns out, with curiosity. At 4:30 in the morning, few of my line-mates were awake or adventurous enough to ask about Glass, but the first security person I passed did. She'd never heard of Glass. When I told her what it could do -- take pictures, video, get navigation, even read emails -- her response was "Get out!"<br />The other security guards were similarly intrigued, but in a friendly, curious way. I of course passed them through the scanner along with all my other circuitry, though I almost forgot to do so. I had, in the course of barely more than a day, already become so used to wearing Glass that I had to be reminded to put it in a bin. You can experience that moment, along with the thrilling process of my shoe removal, in the video above. (Note: In case you're wondering, yes, it is legal to film in a security checkpoint so long as you don't record the computer monitors or interfere with the jobs of the security workers. I was very careful to do neither.)<br />This feels like a good opportunity to talk about the security of Glass itself, which is a somewhat complicated subject. Some aspects are quite good. Others are quite poor. Let's start with the bad: there's no way to prevent someone from picking up your headset, putting it on, and reading your email. They could also reply, make a call, take a lewd photo and upload it to Google+ ... you get the idea.<br />There's no concept of a secure unlock on Glass, which must be considered at least mildly disconcerting. Then again, it's difficult to envision an unlock method that is simple and quick enough to not kill the Glass experience. Voice recognition seems like the obvious solution, but talking to the thing every time you put it on would be a bother. A retinal scanner sure would be nice. Shame it doesn't have one.<br /><div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Living with Google Glass, Day Three Security Checkpoint" data-src-height="348" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/myglass-620.jpg" /></div>Other aspects of security are, thankfully, more comprehensive. Sign in to the MyGlass app and you can see on a map exactly where your headset is, which must be a sure sign such functionality is finally coming to Android phones soon. While you aren't able to deactivate a headset remotely (though Google can), you are at least able to factory reset the thing from afar.<br />So, while Glass seems perfectly capable of handling the scary situation of someone stealing your headset and running away with it, it's rather less able to fend off the office prankster who might post a picture of their posterior to your Google+ account.<br />Next time we'll talk photo quality, call quality and, most importantly, take you inside the helmet for a gorgeous ride up the coast. Assuming the battery life lasts long enough, that is.</div></div>

PSA: T-Mobile's iPhone 5 pre-orders start rolling today

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="PSA TMobile iPhone 5 preorders start rolling today" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/t-mobile-iphone5-pre-order-04-15-13-01.jpg" /></div>If T-Mobile's recent event cussed you into wanting one of its tweaked A1428 iPhone 5s with LTE, AWS HSPA+ and no contract strings attached, you can now order one up. Apple's flagship can be had through the carrier for $99 down and 24 payments of $20 for a total of $579 -- a snappy $70 savings over buying one directly from Cupertino. Meanwhile, T-Mo's Simple Choice plan starts at $50 per month for unlimited talk, text and 500MB of data, with an additional 2GB for $10 and unlimited 4G data for $20. Just remember that should you opt into an iPhone 5 through T-Mobile then decide to opt out of your contract, the device will stay carrier locked until you pay it off or trade it back -- unless you're willing to skirt the law, of course. Hit the source to make your reservation.<br /> </div></div>
