Huawei’s latest P30 Pro may not have garnered the best score for video recording on DXOMark but the phone still ranks as the best camera phone around presently. The P30 Pro comes with a quad camera setup at the rear with one of the sensors being a periscope lens that gives the device the ability to achieve 5x optical zoom and a whopping 50x digital zoom. A video said to have been recorded by the P30 Pro recently went viral on Facebook and that is because it shows the 50x digital zoom feature in action and it was awesome.
The video that appears to have been uploaded on video sharing platform Tik Tok first, showed the camera zooming in on a Chinese chess game from a spot on top of a tall building. Despite the distance, the camera was still able to pick out the words on the chess pieces. Even though at that level of zoom it looks a little blurry, we could still make out the words on the chess pieces and with some level of clarity that is awesome.
The video has garnered over 1.3 million views since it was uploaded on Facebook on April 6. It has also been shared over 30,000 times. Some netizens also dropped off their thoughts on the feature. While some extol the usefulness of the feature, others expressed concerns that the feature could be used as a spy tool by persons with sinister motives. Nevertheless, the possibilities this feature brings to smartphone photography are enormous. You can check out the Facebook video from the source link below.
It’s always crucial for social messaging apps to continuously evolve and match the users’ demands. WhatsApp also follows the same regime to bring new features and advancements. A new WhatsApp beta build recently added various new changes such as improved Audio Preview UI, facility to Block or Allow ‘Forwarded Messages’ in Groups, and iPad support on iOS.
To curb fake news spread, WhatsApp introduced ‘Forwarded Messages’ settings in the latest beta. WhatsApp group administrators will be able to access the new feature under the group settings. To resist users from sharing the forwarded messages in a group, the administrator can disallow ‘Frequently forwarded messages’. The new feature to reduce fake news spread is limited to Android build.
A new audio preview or audio picker UI is also spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta build. It allows users to preview the audio and album art of the audio file before sending. Increased limit of sending 30 audio files at a time is also present along with the refined look.
Furthermore, the new WhatsApp iOS Beta version arrives with iPad support. WhatsApp is testing multiple features including 3D Face Unlock for native iPad support. Some screenshots from tracker WABetaInfo appeared showing the new iPad UI with redesigned elements and multitasking view support while in the landscape mode.
Since the launch of Huawei MateBook X Pro on MWC2018, we can see Huawei’s pursuit of the PC industry. In this year, Huawei released the latest laptop, called Huawei MateBook X Pro (2019) which is the update of the previous. Next, we will check out the new laptop.
In the design, there is not much difference between the previous laptop and the latest generation. If I have to say the biggest difference, it is that the graphic logo is removed, and there is only the word mark of HUAWEI.
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2019 adopts the premium metal cuniform design. Therefore, the thickness of the both sides of the laptop is different, the thickest part is 14.6mm and the thinnest part is 4.9mm.
Huawei MateBook X Pro
The weight of 1.33kg and the thickness of 1.46cm are straight and narrow, which is as same as MacBook Pro (2018). In other words, although the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2019 is easy to take out, it’s not exactly light.
The two footpads which are close to the rotating axle is a little taller than the others, which is the considerate idea of Huawei. Because of this idea, when you put the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2019 on the flat table, the laptop should be slant, but the angle of inclination is not obvious, which is to improve heat dissipation efficiency and optimize your posture. But the angle of inclination is not obvious. Overall, it is a good idea.
On the left side, MateBook X Pro 2019 comes with two USB-C ports and a 3.5mm audio interface. One of the USB-C port ships with the thunder logo supporting Thunderbolt 3 transmission which is up to 40Gbps. The interval of two USB-C ports is different from MacBook Pro, so the dual USB-C port expansion dock cannot compatible with both laptops.
Huawei MateBook X Pro 2019 still keeps an USB-A port (USB 3.0) on the right side is great, it is convenient for users who want to connect the external device with USB-A, such as USB flash disk, Bluetooth keymouse receiver, data line, card reader and so on. Although some of these external devices have USB-C ports, a lot of them still keep USB-A port. I do think the way of keeping USB-A port is right.
The power key which is placed on the keyboard pad, comes with capacitive fingerprint recognition function carrying support Windows Hello fingerprint recognition. You can press the power key to turn on the laptop, and when you enter password, you can also enhance security with fingerprint verification.
The keyboard of Huawei MateBook X Pro 2019 has a moderate key range and soft touch feeling. The trackpad is also large and supports Windows trackpad gestures. It’s a pity that the trackpad comes with the physical pressure, so there is a gap with Force Touch of MacBook Pro.
Just as smartphones struggle to make a true full-screen display, the MateBook X Pro 2019 also needs to think about how to place the screen components, especially the laptop’s standard front-facing camera. Huawei makes a new innovative thinking, which sets a pop-up camera hiding between F6 and F7 key.
The unusual position means that the performance of the camera is not so good. As the position and the angle issue, the photos are always low-angle shot. However, it can make sure the personal privacy security when it is hid in the keyboard. Actually, the use frequency of laptop’s front-facing camera is generally low, so the unusual design is for better more than for worse.
The latest Huawei MateBook X Pro comes with 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8550U processor (or i5-8250U processor) and NVIDIA GeForce MX150 with 2GB GDDR5.
In particular, the Thunderbolt 3 port upgrade to 4 x PCIE means that the MateBook X Pro will be more scalable, so there is not a problem to connect two large high-resolution screens in daily use. It can be switched between a desktop and an ultraportable laptop with a MateDock.
As one of the symbolic elements of MateBook X Pro, the 13.9-inch touchscreen comes with the narrow bezels design. The bezels width of the top is the same with the two sides, and the bottom bezel is narrow, the screen-to-body ration is up to 91%. In the kind of narrow bezel notebook, the MateBook X Pro is also the top level.
In order to make the high screen-to-body ratio comes true, Huawei moves the PCB from the bottom of the screen to the bottom of the keyboard.
The MateBook X Pro 2019 comes with LTPS LCD panel which supports 100% sRGB color gamut, and the maximum brightness can reach 450 nits. The great screen can meet the needs of graphic design and other artistic creation.
On the other hand, the MateBook X Pro hosts 3:2 aspect ratios, having the resolution of 3000 x 2000 pixels. Compared with traditional 16:9 aspect ratios, the available screen of MateBook X Pro is increased, so we can read more in the screen. This advantage in the application of split state will be more obvious.
The MateBook X Pro 2019 carries support 10-point touchscreen making from the phone’s touch standard. What’s more, this Huawei laptop screen is covered by an ultra-thin Corning Gorilla Glass, which keeps the sliding experience basically at the same as the phone.
Although the use frequency of touchscreen function of PC is low, the usage experience of three finger slide screenshot is great which is like using smartphone.
In addition to touching the selected area, it can also recognize the contents of screenshot and change to text features, even the text in the picture.
This feature looks like the knuckle screenshot of EMUI, which can replace the screenshot tool of system and Alt+A.
Last week, Richard Yu repeatedly mentioned that EMUI 9 can support HUAWEI Share on the Huawei P30 launch event. What’s the HUAWEI Share?
There’s a sticker of HUAWEI Share beside the MateBook X Pro’s trackpad, and actually, there’s a NFC module under the sticker which can connect with the Huawei Smartphone coming with NFC function when you put the phone on the sticker. After the laptop and smartphone connecting successfully, the two devices can transfer files directly.
After the initial connection, the computer housekeeper software which build-in MateBook X Pro should display the connection status of the mobile phone. Before unbinding, the laptop will automatically connect to the handset when it shuts down and starts again, and the automatic connection between the two devices will always be maintained.
The file transfer between laptop and smartphone is the basic function of HUAWEI Share. The devices can transfer the files through WiFi, which can transmit 500 files maximum at the same time and a single transmission rate is about 30mb/s.
After electing the files, you can send it to the laptop through HUAWEI Share, or send it by putting the phone to touch the NFC module. On the contrary, when you right-click the file, you can choose the HUAWEI Share, and then you can get the file sending by the laptop.

send picture from laptop to mobile phone
Expect for the files transfer, the biggest demand for interconnection between laptops and mobile phones is the sharing of hotspots on the internet.
After clicking on the “one-click hotspots” on the laptop, the wireless hotspots of mobile phone will be automatically waken up, and the laptop will connect to the hotspots without entering a password.
In addition, HUAWEI Share will also share recent documents and clips of mobile phones and laptops, even the copied text on phones and documents opened in WeChat, which can be viewed and used on laptops.
Compared with AirDrop, connection between iOS and macOS, HUAWEI Share is based on the interconnection between Android and Microsoft. With the support of NFC, HUAWEI Share has left a deep impression on ease of use and matching speed.
I have used the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2019 in a week, and it has performed well. Although Huawei is a new manufacturer in the traditional PC industry, it’s hard to find a whiff of immature from MateBook X Pro.
On the other hand, making a laptop with the idea of making a mobile phone can bring many different features to the product. Compared with the traditional laptop, the touch screen of Huawei MateBook X Pro and HUAWEI Share can bring freshness.
Connecting and interworking with mobile phones, and close the distance between mobile phones and laptops will be the biggest reason for consumers to consider buying the MateBook X Pro. The strategy to enhance user’s experience should be a thing that Huawei will continue to do in the future.

The initial reception of the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones has been paid. It appears that Samsung’s new strategy of diversifying in S10 lineup by launching four models such as Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10 5G has worked well for it. Fresh information coming from South Korea reveals that Samsung is now working on four models for the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 series.
A recent report had claimed that owing to the popularity of the Galaxy S10e, Samsung is considering introducing a smaller version of the Galaxy Note 10. The report had claimed that the smaller Note 10 will be borrowing the 6.4-inch display from the Galaxy Note 9 smartphone while the larger edition will be coming with a massive 6.7-inch screen.

There is no mentioning of the battery capacities of the different editions of the Note 10.
A recent report had also claimed that the Galaxy Note 10 will come with a button-less design. Instead of buttons, the phablet may sport pressure-sensitive touch controls for controlling volume, power and Bixby assistant. There is no information on other specs of the Note 10. It can be speculated that the phone will be available in Snapdragon 855 and Exynos SoC variants. The Exynos edition of the Note 10 may feature the Exynos 5100 5G modem enabled Exynos 9825 chipset. Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Note 10 series in August.

There are very few smartphone manufacturers who make their own chipsets and one of them is China-based Huawei. The company develops its own processors for the Huawei and Honor branded smartphones.
But, the company chipsets are not sold to other smartphone makers and are limited to Huawei and Honor smartphones only. However, that is about to change, if the new reports are to be believed.
Engadget has reported, citing a source aware of the development, that Huawei is open to selling its 5G Balong 5000 chipset to only one company — Apple. This is surprising given that chipset sales is not Huawei’s forte and the company’s executive had previously said that the Huawei chipsets are for its own internal products such as phones and IoT devices.
However, it is not yet known if both companies have started conversations regarding this. It is surprising that Huawei is ready to offer its products to its biggest rival at a time when the company is aiming to dethrone Apple and Samsung to grab the top spot in the global smartphones market share.
Huawei’s Balong 5000 modem chip supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G networks. It is also compatible with 4G LTE, 3G, and 2G networks. The Balong 5000 5G modem chip will debut on Huawei’s first phone to support the next generation of wireless connectivity — Mate X, which also happens to be the company’s first foldable smartphone.
The development comes at a time when Apple is in a tight spot with its current chipset supplier — Intel which supplies wireless modems for iPhones and iPads. It’s 5G-ready XMM 8160 modems would be available for its customers in the second half of 2019. But a report claims that Apple has “lost confidence” in Intel after the world’s largest chipset manufacturer failed to meet certain development deadlines.
The news about Huawei being open to supply its chipset to Apple comes at a time when Qualcomm and Samsung both have refused to provide their 5G modems to Apple. While Qualcomm’s denial is understandable given their ongoing legal battle, Samsung refused by citing lack of supply for its Exynos 5100 chips.

Honor has shared a new video through its Weibo account to confirm that it will be launching a smartphone named Honor 20i on April 17 in Beijing, China. The video reveals that its key feature will be its AI driven 32-megapixel selfie camera. At the same unveil event, the Chinese firm will be also debuting the Honor MagicBook 2019 to succeed the original Honor MagicBook laptop from last year.
The Honor 20i teaser has not revealed any information on the specs of the phone. However, it does confirm that the phone will be featuring a waterdrop-style notched display. It seems to be the Honor HRY-TL00T / AL00T / AL00Ta that was recently approved by China’s TENAA telecom authority. According to the TENAA listing, the smartphone will be arriving with a 6.2-inch display that will offer full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels.
The 2.2 GHz octa-core processor that powers the phone could be the homegrown Kirin 710 SoC. It will be available in 4 GB and 6 GB RAM options and it is expected to be available in 64 GB and 128 GB storage choices. For additional storage, it will come equipped with a microSD card slot. The latest EMUI based Android 9 Pie OS will come loaded on the device.
The minimum capacity of the battery that powers the smartphone is 3,320mAh. Its typical capacity could be 3,400mAh. The rear shell of the phone will be featuring a triple camera setup with 24-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel secondary sensor and a 2-mgeapixel third sensor.
As mentioned above, Huawei’s sub-brand will be also announcing the Honor MagicBook 2019 notebook alongside the Honor 20i on April 17. The specifications of the device are currently under the wraps. However, it is believed that it could be a small upgrade over last year’s model.
While Chinese manufacturers have adopted the idea of having sub-brands, some of the bigger phone manufacturers have stuck to having multiple series that can sometimes get confusing. Samsung is an example, but the Korean giant has been doing some cleaning up.
Galaxy J4 Core
Samsung’s lineup was originally made up of the Galaxy S, Galaxy Note, Galaxy A, Galaxy J, Galaxy C, and Galaxy On series, with the last two being a region-specific series and an online-only series.
Last year, Samsung canceled the Galaxy On and Galaxy C series and this year it launched the Galaxy M series. Yesterday, it revealed the Galaxy J series will be no more and will now be replaced by the Galaxy A series.
The Galaxy A series was originally a sort of upper mid-range series for Samsung but it still couldn’t measure up to the competition with respect to specs and value for money.
The new Galaxy A series will no longer be limited to upper mid-range devices which used to cost a lot compared to the competition but will also have affordable models such as the Galaxy A10, A20, A20e, and A30. There is also the upcoming Galaxy A2 Core which is an Android Go phone. The upper mid-range models for the new A-series are the Galaxy A50, Galaxy A70, and Galaxy A90 and should be joined by the Galaxy A60 and A80 in the future.
The announcement was made via an official video posted on YouTube by Samsung Malaysia. The video explains the change and all the new features the “new” series brings such as bigger batteries, new Infinity Displays, more cameras, and even on-screen fingerprint scanners.
The Honor 20 Lite will be the least powerful model of the upcoming Honor 20 series. While we expect it to have a less powerful processor and even pack less features, leaked renders have revealed it will share some features with its more powerful sibling, the Honor 20.
The leaked renders (and specs) which were first shared by Winfuture.de show the Honor 20 Lite will also have triple rear cameras albeit in a different arrangement from the cameras on the Honor 20 as seen in its own leaked render.
The cameras are also arranged vertically on the left of the phone but unlike those of the Honor 20 which are separated, all the sensors of the Honor 20 Lite share the same housing. There is an LED flash below the cameras and in the middle of the phone is a fingerprint scanner. The Honor 20 has its own fingerprint scanner buried under the display.
The main camera is reported to be a 24MP f/1.8 sensor and it is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 120° viewing angle. The third camera is a 2MP depth sensor. The Honor 20 might have the same number of cameras but its sensors are different – a 48MP primary sensor, a 20MP secondary sensor and an 8MP with 3x optical zoom.
The leaked Honor 20 render didn’t reveal the front of the phone but the renders of the Honor 20 Lite show the phone will have a waterdrop notch and a display with curved corners. The display is a 6.21-inch 2340 x 1080 panel and the notch is home to a 32MP sensor.

The phone will be powered by the Kirin 710 paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It will have a triple card tray for two nano-SIMs and a MicroSD card. It also has an audio jack at the bottom and a MicroUSB port that charges a 3400mAH battery.
Samsung is extending its Android Pie roll-out to its mid-range phones. The Galaxy J8 which was released last year is the latest member to get updated.
The new update not only brings Android Pie but also One UI and April’s security patch. It has started rolling out to the phone in Russia and should arrive in other regions in the coming weeks.
The Galaxy J8, which is also available as the Galaxy On8 in India was released in August last year. It has a 6.0-inch HD+ display, a Snapdragon 450 processor and up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.
It has dual rear cameras – a 16MP f/1.7 primary sensor and a 5MP f/1.9 sensor for capturing depth details. It also has a 16MP f/1.9 selfie camera with its own LED flash. The Galaxy J8 also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner in the same design as that of the Galaxy S9 series.
Chinese internet giant Tencent is known for its range of popular games such as Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), King of Glory and several others. As interests in Tencent’s games continues to rise, the internet giant had promised to launch a more international games platform. That it seems to have done with the surprise launch of the “WeGame X” game platform. The platform is said to be the international edition of the WeGame storefront which serves the China market.
Tencent is reportedly testing the storefront and its global servers presently, which may mean that a more auspicious official launch is on the way. But the WeGame X platform is available for download internationally. The platform presently has 29 games, most of which were developed by independent Chinese developers, with some of Tencent’s in-house studios accounting for the rest. Some of the listed games include; Deep Silver, Larian, Kingdom Defend: Frontline, E-sports Legend, Possia Time and Hello Game. The popular game Fortnite is not listed but with the listing of some globally popular titles like Deep Silver, it seems clear more big western titles will be available on the platform soon.
Currently, the platform supports English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, and Japanese and Russian language support will be added soon. However, it remains to be seen how well WeGame X does with international players. Tencent is viewed with some suspicion by gamers outside of China, especially due to the notion that the company could share user data with the Chinese government.
