Note that changing the factory passcode should be at the top of your priority given that Huawei’s default one is a series of eight numbers. You will discover a flurry of features including “best position” which allows you to check for the signal strength in various rooms.

Splitting the two does make more sense than combining them as it gives you more flexibility. A smart speaker, on the other hand, is usually located not far from foot traffic: bedside table, kitchen, lounge. The AI Cube suffers from a fundamental issue: it is by all means first and foremost a router which means that ideally, it should be placed either near a window to pick up a strong signal or an Ethernet cable. While loud is good, there was depth and roundness to the sound too, though without testing the audio quality alongside its key competitors or in a controlled environment we couldn’t give a definitive verdict based on our early impressions. In the flesh, it is loud, making plenty of noise in a busy room. Adopting its proprietary Histen sound tuning technology seen in Huawei and Honor smartphones, the claim is that the AI Cube sound is 360-degree and immersive. In addition, Huawei already has a relationship with Amazon, having put Alexa on the Mate 9 (opens in new tab) in the past.Ī 400ml sound cavity paired with an aluminium diaphragm and passive radiators combine to deliver what Huawei calls ''big sound'. On the one hand, with Alexa controlling over tens of thousands of smart home devices and playing nice with a multitude of brands, it’s an established, open player. Huawei’s reasoning for opting for Alexa over Google Assistant is two-fold.

On the plus side, with far-field voice recognition thanks to four microphones, it seemed to respond quickly to being woken with the word 'Alexa' and it was able to make out commands even in a room with a fair bit of hustle and bustle. In this case, the extent of the AI at play is Alexa - the same Alexa powering all the Amazon Echo (opens in new tab) products and a plethora of other smart speakers on the market, so despite its name, it won’t be smarter than your average smart speaker.

Huawei has been riding the AI wave since its Mate 10 Pro (opens in new tab) was announced, and it's at it again, thwacking the buzzword in the title of this product. But the first part is infinitely more engaging.Image credit: TechRadar (Image credit: Future) Performance and usage Really, the fun of Space Qube is just in the ability to build one's own ship and take it out to shoot enemies. It's not bad, just uninspired and requires too much time for a mobile game. But it's just not that interesting, it doesn't do a lot that's new, and considering how interesting the building portion of the game is the space shooting is especially a letdown in comparison. The music is cool, the ability to roll in combat is helpful, and the bosses are nifty.

Mostly it takes way too long: levels with each boss can take several minutes each, and other than getting more cubes for ship upgrades and building new ones, there's not much of an interesting game here. The problem is that the actual gameplay isn't a lot to write home about.

As well, great ships can be unlocked by playing. Players who don't want to create can download ships created by other players from the in-game sharing tools, or can play one of the pre-created ships. This requires some experimentation to find the best balance between speed and armor, but in general, more cubes mean more armor, smaller designs create speedier ships. Interestingly, depending on how the ship is constructed, its stats are modified. It's possible to create them front to back, or top to bottom - with the ability to toggle between the two views to make that ship just perfect. These ships are effectively 16x16x16 cubes, that are created by placing them in each 16x16 layer. And players can build their own ships from the cubes they pick up while playing the game (or buying through in-app purchases, of course). The conceptual aspect of the game is fantastic: it's a space shooter, kind of like Galaga but from a behind-the-ship perspective, but with ships that are made entirely out of cubes. Space Qube is a game that, on paper, is really cool.
