Week 41 in review: Honor 7X and nubia Z17 duo debut
As we come closer and closer to the holiday season announcements are drying up and manufacturers start focusing on actually bringing their devices to the market for the year's most important months. Still we have one more major announcement left - Huawei is unveiling its new Mate 10 family tomorrow - and the Chinese company is building up hype with daily teasers.
Meanwhile, Huawei's sub-brand Honor unveiled two mid-rangers in week 41 - the 7X and 6C Pro. A more exciting duo came from ZTE - the nubia Z17S and Z17 miniS. The Archos Diamond Omega came the day after those and is basically a rebranded Z17.
OnePlus found itself in hot water as it turned out that the company is collecting private user data without asking permission, and the company was forced to issue an apology and promise to stop doing it.
