The deal was sealed by South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during their third summit in Pyongyang on Sept. 18-20.

While maintaining that it remains in lockstep with the United States, South Korea has forged ahead with efforts to engage with North Korea, even as critics accused Moon of naively focusing on feel-good theatrics at the expense of real progress in persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2QGMAYw via Latest News

But today a huge leak out of Germany may have spoiled everything that's going to be presented on stage regarding the Mate 20 Pro. Some new official-looking press renders were leaked too, alongside UK pricing. Let's start with that. For the version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is the base model, you'll need to shell out £899. There will be other variants with 8GB of RAM and 256 or 512GB of storage.
