Huawei Launches Mate 20 Lite With Quad Cameras and Kirin 710 at IFA 2018

Huawei had launched the Kirin 980 and the AI Smart Cube at this year’s IFA 2018, but it seems like that’s not all. While many were expecting the company to launch their upcoming flagship, the Mate 20 at the event, Huawei chose to launch its little brother, the Mate 20 Lite.

Huawei Mate 20 Lite is basically the Honor Nova 3i in a slightly different package. The Mate 20 Lite is made of metal and glass with a premium curved edge design. The main focus of the front is the display notch which houses two cameras, an earpiece, and other sensors.

The display itself is 6.3-inches with 2340×1080 resolution. It is powered by the Kirin 710 SoC along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. As for the cameras, the device houses a dual camera setup on both ends, with a 20MP+2MP sensor on the back, and a 24MP+2MP setup on the front.

The Huawei Mate 20 Lite’s rear camera will be equipped with HDR Pro technology, which should make for better colors in photos. And since “artificial intelligence” is the major buzzword these days, the camera features AI scene recognition. The front camera features Huawei’s own version of Apple’s Animojis called “Q Moji.” Here are the full specifications of the Huawei Mate 20 Lite:

It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon.

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried. The police officials in charge have no idea regarding where these drones are from. “They’ve been doing a grid search, a grid pattern. They fly one square and then they fly another square,”  Colorado’s Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliot told the Denver Post. The drones have an approximate six-foot wingspan and stay 200 to 300 feet away from buildings. At least 17 drones have been spotted till now. They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities.  “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.
