Huawei Mate 9 Will Be The First Smartphone To Feature Amazon's Alexa

The Huawei Mate 9 was first announced last November of 2016 and was later released in December the same year. However, starting on January 6 of 2017 in the U.S., the Mate 9 will be the first ever smartphone to have Amazon's Alexa pre-installed on its software and will only cost for $600.

According to The Verge, Huawei claims that this will be a big plus for Huawei fans. As to why, the app will offer customers a natural and convenient user interface when talking to the digital assistant. It will also be capable of all the usual tasks such as setting alarms, making a to-do list, getting information regarding the news and weather, and many more. And as for exciting Mate 9 owners, the same app will be delivered via an over-the-air update.

New Feature Of The Alexa

Yes, checking weather reports, latest news, setting alarms, and playing trivia games are one of the well-known capabilities of digital assistants. But what can Amazon's Alexa do that other digital assistants such as Apple's Siri and the Google Assistant can't? Just recently, Amazon added a new feature for its digital assistant Alexa. Users can now order food through the retailers own takeaway service Amazon Restaurants.

Though this may sound cool or be something out of a Hollywood sci-fi movie, this feature has its downsides. According to reports, the first problem is you can only order from the service Amazon Restaurants which was already mentioned earlier. Second, you can order meals that you have had in the past. Third, you need to be a Prime member to do so. And lastly, it is only available in 20 cities in the U.S. (Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Portland, Manhattan, Miami, Minneapolis, Northern Virginia, Orlando, San Diego, San Francisco Bay area, Seattle, and Tampa).
