Huawei has already shipped 2.6 million P9 and P9 Plus units worldwide

Huawei is now proudly boasting the fact that it's already managed to ship over 2.6 million units of its P9 and P9 Plus smartphones, which were both unveiled at its special event on April 6.

The P9 and P9 Plus have achieved that number of shipments within just six weeks of going on sale. What's more, outside of China the sales volumes for the P9 are 130% higher than they were for the P8 last year in the same amount of time. In France, the P9 sales numbers are 1,000% bigger than they were for the P8, while in Poland and Finland that difference is 'just' 400%. The UK isn't doing bad either, with 300% more units shipped compared to last year's flagship.

In terms of actual numbers of units sold, not compared to any previous device, the P9 and P9 Plus are doing best in China, France, Finland, and the UK, according to Huawei. The P9 and P9 Plus have helped the Chinese company remain the third biggest smartphone maker in the world.

AT&T Wi-Fi calling now on Android, but only the LG G4 for now

AT&T has only had Wi-Fi calling on the iOS lineup, the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, and SE are all the iOS devices that support AT&T's Wi-Fi calling. But Android users have been left in the dark without the option of hooking up to a Wi-Fi network to shoot out some text messages or place calls when out in a dead zone.

AT&T’s Wi-Fi calling works much like any other carrier’s. All of the device’s calling and sms traffic can be handled entirely over a Wi-Fi connection without relying on any additional apps.

 All phones that support AT&T Wi-Fi calling as of June 15 2016

The only Android phone that is able to rely on solely a Wi-Fi connection is the LG G4 for now. But AT&T promises that the feature will reach more Android devices over the “coming weeks”.

Currently, to qualify for AT&T’s Wi-Fi calling feature, you must have a post-paid account within the US, Puerto Rico, and some international areas. AT&T’s list of phones currently supported with Wi-Fi calling can be found here.

LG has launched its G5 flagship smartphone in Taiwan. Carrying a model number of LG-H858, the device costs TWD 23,900 in the country, which translates into around $740 at current exchange rates.

The handset is currently exclusive to local carrier Chunghwa Telecom.

This comes just days after the phone landed in India, where it carries an official price tag of INR 52,990 (which is about $790).
