Huawei Nova 7 SE: Price and availability in the Philippines
Brings 5G to the midrange segment
The Huawei Nova 7 SE is in the Philippines and it’s the company’s attempt to bring 5G closer to more people.
The phone is powered by their proprietary Kirin 820 5G SoC. It’s a chip designed to power midrange devices while also giving its prospective buyers access to the next generation of mobile connection.
The chip was first spotted on the Honor X10 — the newest flagship of Huawei’s sub-brand. But that’s about the only thing they have in common specs-wise.
The Nova 7 SE has a 6.5-inch LCD display — a Punch FullView display is what the company wants to call it. Sitting on that punch hole situated on the upper left portion of the screen is the 16MP front-facing camera.
It’s a camera that’s supposed to perform well in low-light conditions thanks to the Night Selfie 2.0 feature.
Flip the phone over and you’re greeted by the quad-camera setup: 64MP main camera, 8MP Ultra-wide angle lens, 2MP bokeh lens, 2MP macro lens.
Another thing you’ll notice is its back panel — its 3D glass panel according to Huawei. It’s made through a “special manufacturing process” to produce a unique visual effect. It’s an effect that bears a striking resemblance to the Huawei Nova 5T. At least the Purple variant. Which this phone comes in along with Crush Green and Space Silver.
Rounding out the specs are an 8GB RAM, 128GB of internal storage that’s expandable via a sold separately Huawei NM card. It also has a 4,000mAh battery with support for 40W Huawei SuperCharge.
Oh and as interesting wrinkles, it has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor baked into the power-button and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Pricing and availability
The Huawei Nova 7 SE is available for preorder via Lazada starting June 12, 2020, for PhP 19,990. Huawei will also offer a free Huawei FreeLace worth PhP 3490 from June 12-21 on a first come, first serve basis.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT
Compatible with most keyboards and mice
Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.
Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.
Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.
Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.
While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Despite the ease that the technology promises, artificial intelligence still isn’t the most reliable thing you can depend on. Today’s models can still flub answers. Now, the pitfalls of AI are abundantly clear with a few mishaps on X. Golden State Warrior Klay Thompson was just “accused” of a vandalism spree involving bricks.
Late Tuesday night, X presented an AI-generated news snippet. The article, posted soon after the Warriors’ play-in loss to the Sacramento Kings, reads: “Klay Thompson Accused in Bizarre Brick-Vandalism Spree.”
The snippet hilariously described an incident where Thompson supposedly vandalized houses in Sacramento with bricks. Thankfully, according to the snippet, no one was hurt. It even had a few sources for its claims below the news summary.
First off… I am ok.
My house was vandalized by bricks 🧱
After my hands stopped shaking, I managed to call the Sheriff…They were quick to respond🚨
My window was gone and the police asked if I knew who did it👮♂️
I said yes, it was Klay Thompson

The sources, however, are just joke posts stemming from the recently concluded game. In that do-or-die game, Thompson put up a staggering 0 points on ten shot attempts, the most misses without a make by a Warrior since the ’68 season. Naturally, everyone joked that the Warriors guard just threw bricks all over Sacramento.
Now, X is currently experimenting with a new AI feature called Grok. The model collates trending topics and creates snippets of what’s happening for X users. However, it’s not exactly the smartest in determining real news from satiric ones. The feature notes as much, carrying a fine-print caveat warning users to “verify its outputs” because it’s an early feature and can make mistakes.

New users on X might soon face a tough time on the platform. The social media website will likely start charging new accounts a small fee for the right to post on the platform.
Now, the fee isn’t a new one. Almost six months ago, the company tested the paid system in New Zealand and the Philippines. New users in those countries had to pay a dollar per year for the ability to post and reply to content.
As spotted by X Daily News on the same platform, the company might be ready to take the experiment to a larger market. New text strings have shown that the policy is rolling out worldwide.
SPECULATION: X might be expanding its policy to charge new users before they reply/like/bookmark a post https://t.co/odqeyeiHBx pic.twitter.com/EU71qlwQ0D
— X Daily News (@xDaily) April 15, 2024
The policy is designed to combat a wave of bots appearing on the platform. By preventing new accounts from creating posts, X hopes to stave off the standard behavior of bots these days. You might have noticed them as OnlyFans creators in unrelated posts, peddling NSFW content on their bio.
Though the global rollout was only just spotted, owner Elon Musk has seemingly confirmed the change. Replying to X Daily News, Musk says that it is “the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.” He says that the current breed of bots can easily bypass simple checks these days.
