The US Justice Department on Monday unveiled sweeping charges against Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei in two cases likely to ratchet up tensions between the two superpowers -- including that of a top executive arrested in Canada on a US warrant. The department unveiled 13 charges against Huawei Technologies, its chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou -- the daughter of the company's founder who is currently out on bail in Canada -- and two affiliates related to violating US sanctions on Iran.

As Brazil’s largest exporter and a producer of raw materials, Vale is heavily reliant on key agreements with the government like railway concessions, mining licenses, and favorable foreign policy. On Sunday, Renan Calheiros, a candidate for Senate president, tweeted that he supported the dismissal of Vale’s top executives. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2Tl8r9w via Latest News

Concept ad imagines iPhone XI with SE-like design and regular triple camera

And being the skilled 3D artist that he is, he created a concept ad for the new phones, complete with Apple's usual "better than ever" boasting. Do you miss that design? It worked quite well with the relative small iPhones (4 to 5s and the SE), but those sharp corners may not be so great when holding a 6.5" device.

The vivo APEX 2019 is a hole-less concept phone and as such its purpose in life is to be cool. And it certainly fit the part, check out this video demo below. There are no buttons on this APEX phone, so it uses the Always-On Display to mark where the touch-sensitive side "buttons" are. Only the Power key has a little nub so you can feel it without looking, but it's not an actual button (just like on the HTC U12+).

The Galaxy S10 phones are due to launch soon and they will bring the first major improvement to Samsung's wireless charging thanks to the Samsung EP-P5200 charger that was certified by the FCC. The new charger is rated at 12V/2.1A input. For comparison the EP-N5100 takes 9V/1.67A input and outputs 9V/1A - that's 9W of power and about 60% efficiency. Assuming a similar performance we can expect around 15W of charging power for the new phones (which lines up with the description of "less than or equal" to 15W).
