Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has announced the Honor 30 Series. It’ll be the brand’s flagship series for a while though sales are currently limited to China. Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, a lot of prime markets like India and the Philippines are closed-off at the moment.

It has launched three phones in the series — Honor 30, Honor 30 Pro, and Honor 30 Pro+.

Honor 30

It gets a 6.5-inch curved OLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a punch-hole cutout for the front camera. Powering the phone is a HiSilicon Kirin 985 processor along with 6GB RAM in the base option. Backing the internals is a 4000mAh battery with 40W fast charging.

It shares the same design language as the Honor 30 but has a few specification differences. On the front is a slightly bigger 6.6-inch curved OLED display with Full HD+ resolution and an elongated cut-out for the front cameras. Powering the phone is a HiSlicon Kirin 990 processor and standard 8GB RAM. Though, it also gets expandable storage via a microSD card. It gets the same 4000mAh battery and 40W fast charging as the Honor 30.

The rear camera setup includes a 40-megapixel primary sensor that has the same specifications as the one on Honor 30, a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel periscope lens.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is getting another anime series

Nier’s Yoko Taro is helming the project.

For an anime franchise that surely belongs in greatest-of-all-time lists, Neon Genesis Evangelion seems to thrive on controversy. From the polarizing ending of the original series to the controversial introduction of Mari Makinami in the Rebuild trilogy, there’s a lot to talk about between Evangelion fans. Now, the series has something new coming. Neon Genesis Evangelion is getting yet another series.

Most recently, the Rebuild of Evangelion completed its arc of rebooting the entire franchise with a more conclusive ending. It was a near conclusion, especially for those who grew dissatisfied with the previous attempts’ endings. Now, an upcoming series might take the franchise to new grounds.

To celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary, Neon Genesis Evangelion is getting a new series helmed by Nier’s Yoko Taro, which you might also know as the guy who wears a creepy moon on his head. Kazuya Tsurumaki, who directed the Rebuild films, will return to direct some episodes. Series creator Hideaki Anno is, unfortunately, not writing this story.

Right now, no one knows what story the series will tell. The franchise is notorious for retelling the same story over and over but with different endings. It’s unclear whether the upcoming series will do the same, tell an entirely new story, or pick up where the series left off.

Nothing releases first look at Phone (4a)

The phone is still scheduled to launch on March 5.

Judging by their irreverent advertising as of late, Nothing wants to upstage Apple during the scheduled launch of the iPhone 17e. Specifically, the brand is launching the Nothing Phone (4a) a day after Apple’s event. Now, it looks like the wait got too long, even for the company itself. Ahead of the launch, Nothing has just revealed our first official look at the upcoming phone.

There is a lot riding on this phone. Earlier this year, Carl Pei confirmed that the brand will not launch the Phone (4) series this year. Instead, Nothing’s flagship spot for 2026 (or, at least, closest to it) will be reserved for the Phone (4a).

Like the previous years of the (a) series, the Phone (4a) is a notch below the flagship series but can still stand on its own. For one, it’s expected to launch with the latest Snapdragon 7 series chipset.

However, for the released photo, we got a look at the device’s rear. Like the Phone (3a), the Phone (4a) will have a center-aligned camera island.

There is a bit more going on with the phone, though. The photo teases the new Glyph Bars, the latest iteration of Nothing’s iconic lighting system. There’s also the red square usually prevalent in the flagship series.

As for aesthetic, the Phone (4a) looks simpler than its predecessors. We’re still getting the faux machinery designs, but there’s less lines and angles. It looks the closest to the flagship series than any of its predecessors.

Thankfully, the wait for the reveal isn’t long. Nothing is scheduled to launch the series on March 5.
