Week 24 in review: Huawei, Samsung and Archos bring new hardware, OnePlus 5 hype intensifies
We got a few interesting new handsets this week - Huawei debuted the Honor 9 with its 5.15” DCI-P3 screen and dual camera setup, while Samsung introduced the J7 Pro and J7 Max mid-ranger to boost its positions in developing markets.
Archos meanwhile brought four new handsets, although two of those are simply rebranded ZTE offerings.
