Venezuela rocked by strongest earthquake to hit country in 100 years

Image
Venezuela has been hit by its strongest earthquake in more than 100 years, knocking out power and toppling supermarket shelves. Damage from the 7.3-magnitude quake, which shook the nation’s northeastern coast and parts of the Caribbean, was limited by the depth of tremors beneath the Earth’s surface. The US Geological Survey measured the earthquake at a depth of 76 miles (123km), with an epicentre a few miles off the Cariaco peninsula. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2N9krYF via Latest News

Colorado man charged with murdering pregnant wife and daughters a week after making 'desperate plea for their safe return'

Image
A man has been charged with murdering his pregnant wife and two daughters, less than a week after he made a desperate public plea for their safe return. Documents filed by prosecutors in Colorado's Weld County Court alleged that Chris Watts was "in a rage" when he strangled his wife Shannan at their home in the town of Frederick.

Xiaomi Poco F1

Image
The new Xiaomi Poco F1 aims to take on inexpensive flagships like the OnePlus 6. That’s made possible by Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 845 processor, as well as proprietary LiquidCool Technology. Now that’s a cool feature, and figuratively speaking, the same goes for the hefty 4,000 mAh battery under the Poco F1’s hood, paired with Quick Charge 3.0 technology. The 6.18-inch “edge-to-edge” FHD+ display does come with both a “trendy” notch and a fairly generous chin. The Poco F1 unsurprisingly ticks all the obligatory AI photography boxes of today, featuring a 12 + 5MP dual rear camera setup and single 20MP selfie shooter. from PhoneArena - Phones https://ift.tt/2N72x94 via Latest Devices

Nokia 5.1 Plus

Image
The Nokia 5.1 Plus is a slightly humbler phone than the Nokia 6.1 Plus, packing a MediaTek Helio P60 processor and 3GB RAM, compared to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC and 4 gigs of memory. Interestingly, the 5.1 Plus comes with a considerably wider screen cutout, while the 19:9 displays themselves both measure around 5.8 inches in diagonal. However, there’s an important difference in resolution, as the Nokia 6.1 Plus delivers a Full HD+ pixel count (2280 x 1080), whereas the 5.1 Plus settles for modest HD+ numbers (1520 x 720). The Nokia 5.1 Plus combines 13 and 5MP cams, the latter of which is for cool depth effects from PhoneArena - Phones https://ift.tt/2L9d3La via Latest Devices
