While Samsung's Galaxy S9 and S9+ are set to dominate Mobile World Congress this year, Huawei has decided to sit this one out and instead launch its P20 family at its own special event on March 27. This means we're still in for quite a wait before handsets such as the P20, P20 Plus, and P20 Lite become official.
In the meantime, however, to help get your mind off Samsung's wares, here are the upcoming Huawei P20 and P20 Plus standing side by side, in a couple of leaked press renders that showcase their screen notches up top.


The timing of this leak is incredibly convenient for Huawei, and doesn't seem coincidental at all. With hours to go until its biggest competitor reveals its flagships for 2018, here's a look at two P20 family members... with small bezels and futuristic looks of their own.

As you can see, the P20 will have the fingerprint button on its front, while the P20 Plus moves it to the back in order to cut the bottom screen bezel ever so slightly more. This design of the P20 was confirmed by what we've seen from TENAA yesterday.
The P20 Plus seems to be the only phone in the line to actually sport the much-leaked tri-lens rear camera, unless we're also getting a (sometimes rumored) P20 Pro. To add to the confusion, it's entirely possible that the Plus and Pro are one and the same device.
A different leak talks about the specs of the model it calls P20 Pro, which should come with a 6" 2,160x1,080 touchscreen, the Kirin 970 SoC at the helm, 6/8GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, and a 4,000 mAh battery.
Its triple rear camera system will comprise of a 12 MP color sensor, a 16 MP black and white sensor, and a 16 MP telephoto lens. An aperture of f/1.8 is quoted, but it's unclear which of the cameras it refers to, and the same goes for OIS.
On the front you'll get an 8 MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture. The P20 Pro (or Plus) with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will apparently be sold in China for CNY 5,899, which at the current exchange rates means $930 or €757.

Race 3 movie review: Not a Salman Khan fan? Mind your own business

Race 3 Director  - Remo D’Souza Cast  - Salman Khan, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Saqib Saleem, Daisy Shah Rating  - 1/5 During one of the many forced fist fights in Race 3, Salman Khan is getting the better of his opponents when he is hit by a rod. He smirks, turns towards the camera and punches the enemy in face as if he is punishing the man for not recognising the Bhai of Bollywood. The camera doesn’t cut to the rod, which, I am sure, is broken in half by now. Such is Salman’s unparalleled rage and such is the vision of director Remo D’Souza. Race 3 is everything film students are taught not to do, but then what do they know? From the first scene in which Anil Kapoor blows up a gang member with the help of a pen bomb to Salman coming to the rescue of his family in a base-jump suit, Race 3 unabashedly targets the fans. There isn’t any pretension of logical filmmaking or sound screenplay. It seems Race 3 categorically wants the non-Salman fans ...

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9 next month

Samsung will unveil its next flagship handset, the Galaxy S9, next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC). The company’s smartphone chief, DJ Koh, confirmed the launch to  ZDNet  at CES yesterday. Koh didn’t offer a specific date, but MWC will run from February 26th to March 1st this year, so expect the unveiling to fall somewhere in that time frame. The S9 (and, presumably, an S9 Plus) will be the successors to the S8 and S8 Plus, which launched at a Samsung event in New York last March before going on sale in April. The S8 and its bigger brother were a hit with critics, who praised the phones’ gorgeous design and brilliant cameras. The phones were even good enough to make consumers forget about the disaster of the Galaxy Note 7 and its exploding batteries. Not much is known about the Galaxy S9 at this point, though we’re not expecting any radical departures from the S8. A handful of leaked renders suggest it will look near-identical to its predecessor, with a sl...

Apple iPhone sales were down 20 per cent on an yearly basis in the month of November, even as the iPhone XR was the best-selling model, showed Counterpoint data Apple iPhone sales were down 20 per cent on an yearly basis in November 2018, even as the iPhone XR was the best-selling model, according to numbers shared by Counterpoint research. The numbers come as Apple has slashed forecast for the first quarter of 2019 (October to December 2018), which is being seen as a rare miss for the technology giant. According to Counterpoint, sale of new iPhones, which includes the iPhone XR, XS and XS MAX were down over 20 per cent Y-o-Y compared to last year’s launches of the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X in 2017.
