Google Pixel 3a to start at €450 and have a purple version

Image
Google's 'lite' versions of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have been leaking like crazy for the past few months, and they should finally become official sometime this spring. In the US they're rumored to be exclusive to Verizon, which is unsurprising given Google's past antics. What about the rest of the world? Well, a new report from Germany today tells us to expect the smaller Pixel 3a to start at €450, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There may or may not be a model with more storage, but it's unlikely the lite Pixel 3 will overtake the actual Pixel 3 when it comes to RAM - so that... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HXgI0t via IFTTT

Huawei may have just unveiled the P30 and P30 Pro yesterday, but the company is already working on the successors to the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro as well. This has been confirmed by a company official in Malaysia at a press briefing today. He noted that the Mate 30 is already in testing, internally at Huawei. The Mate 30 family will be launched in September or October, according to the same official.

Lenovo Z6 Pro teased to come with 100MP camera

Remember that bizarre presentation from Lenovo during this year's MWC? Well, it turns out that the 100MP camera that was kind of teased will make it to the upcoming Lenovo Z6 Pro. There's still no sign of the phone itself, but Lenovo's VP teased the handset on Weibo with a hashtag which translates into 100MP. This doesn't come as a surprise since even Qualcomm hinted at upcoming 100MP cameraphones this year.

Deal: Samsung Galaxy S10e down to €610 in Germany

If you're in the market for a new compact flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S10e just got a €150 discount on eBay, and is now available for just under €610. The offer is for the 128GB Prism Black model and we expect availability to be limited. The Galaxy S10e offers most of premium experience of the larger Galaxy S10 phones in a compact form-factor, which is quite rare these days. Sure, Samsung cut some corners in the S10e by axing the telephoto camera, but the flat screen and side-mounted fingerprint sensors might actually be working better for some than the curved panels and built in... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2TFIZee via IFTTT

Huawei P30 scores 10 times as many pre-orders as the P20

The new Huawei P30 and P30 Pro just came out and they are already breaking new records in China. According to Tmall's data, the new generation Huawei P-series has received ten times more reservations than the P20 family. Last year's record holder was the P20 duo, but it has now been overtaken by the P30 by a huge margin. In fact, one version of the P30 Pro saw an entire batch reserved in just 5 minutes. And keep in mind that the company hasn't yet announced pricing for the phones in China, so people are pretty much blindly reserving them.

To kiss pope's hand - or not - enters the Catholic culture wars

Image
On Monday, when Pope Francis visited a Catholic shrine in Loreto, he repeatedly withdrew his right hand as a long line of people bowed and tried to kiss the ring on it. Rorate Caeli, a website read by Catholic traditionalists, Tweeted: "Francis, If you don't want to be the Vicar of Christ, then get out of there!" Papal biographer Austen Ivereigh, a supporter of Francis, countered by Tweeting: "He's making sure that they engage with him, not treat him like a sacred relic. Some Vatican watchers noted that even former Pope Benedict, a hero to nostalgic conservatives, and his predecessor John Paul, did not like having their hands kissed - at least not by long lines of people, for the sake of expediency. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2FDQ8qK via Latest News

Dimon is the chief executive of JP Morgan Chase, and wrongdoing by him and the CEOs of other big corporations is more responsible for Trump’s election than anything Russia dreamed of, as I’ll explain. “A big chunk of [Americans] have been left behind,” Dimon said, unveiling a new $350m program to train workers for the jobs of the future. “Forty percent of Americans make less than $15 an hour, 40% … can’t afford a $400 bill, whether it’s medical or fixing their car; 15% of Americans make minimum wages, 70,000 die from opioids.” All true, but $350m over ...

Blackout Leaves 91% of Venezuela Without an Internet Connection

The extent of the outage can be seen in this chart provided by Netblocks.org, which tracks Internet disruptions and shutdowns in different countries and has become widely used in Venezuela amid the lack of official information being provided by the regime of Nicolas Maduro. The group calculates that 91 percent of Venezuela has lost connection to Internet, a low only eclipsed earlier this month in the depths of a week-long blackout. Maduro and his government have insisted that the electrical problems are a product of sabotage and sophisticated attacks by the U.S. and local opposition while industry experts and critics point more to a lack of investment and maintenance. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2TYAC2u via Latest News

The push, the details of which have not been previously reported, follows warnings from data and cybersecurity experts dating back to 2016 that right-wing groups and foreign actors may borrow the “fake news” playbook from the last presidential election to dissuade immigrants from participating in the decennial count, the officials and sources told Reuters. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2FDAjRL via Latest News
