Poco F1 Lite key specs revealed through Geekbench

Qualcomm official says 64MP and 100MP phones are coming in 2019

Image
In a recent interview Qualcomm's Senior Director of Product Management Judd Heape revealed that phones with 64MP and even 100MP cameras will likely come in 2019.

On Wednesday, Facebook experienced a major but partial outage that lasted most of the day.

New Zealand PM vows gun law reform after mosque massacre

Image
New Zealand's prime minister vowed Saturday to toughen the country's gun laws after revealing the alleged shooter behind Christchurch's mosque attacks had legally bought the five weapons, including two semi-automatic rifles, used in the massacre. The nation's firearms laws are lax compared to neighbouring Australia, which enacted a strict gun control regime in the wake of a similar massacre in 1996. Jacinda Ardern said 28-year-old Australian Brenton Tarrant obtained a "Category A" gun licence in November 2017 which allowed him to purchase the weapons used to mow down worshippers in two Christchurch mosques. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2TPbR85 via Latest News

In opposing Prime Minister Theresa May's EU divorce deal even after MPs voted to delay Britain's departure, hardline Brexiteers are now locked in a high-stakes alliance with those out to stop the process entirely.

Admissions scam adds insult to injury for minority applicants

German Catholics accused of 'stonewalling' by child abuse victims

Germany's under-fire Catholic Church admitted Thursday it must urgently confront its child sex abuse scandal, but victims accused it of continued "stonewalling", especially on compensation.
