Huawei’s Foldable Smartphone With 5G Connectivity To Come Out At MWC 2019

According to GSMarena, Huawei has presented in a private event with representatives of telecommunication companies and Korean government officials, a prototype of a folding smartphone with 5G connectivity.

Huawei plans to unveil its folding phone with 5G connectivity at MWC 2019

While Samsung is already working on its own foldable phone, the Galaxy F, while it’s developing a reliable 5G-compatible smartphone, Huwaei is, apparently, already possessing a working folding phone with 5G connectivity. The Chinese brand, reportedly, presented its innovation before significant telecommunication companies and South Korean government officials.

According to a Korean government spokesman, Huawei is working on its folding phone prototype that would not only be a foldable smartphone but will also be able to connect to the future fastest mobile network – 5G. Huawei’s final goal would be to present its new device at the next year’s Mobile World Congress, held in Barcelona.

Huawei’s first foldable smartphone with 5G might first come out in the US and Europe

According to the leaks, Huawei’s upcoming 5G foldable smartphone would boast an 8-inch screen which, when folded, would come down to a 5-inch display, so it would be a little bigger than the future Samsung Galaxy F model which would measure about 4.6 inches when in phone mode and 7.3 inches when in unfolded, respectively. In this case, the manufacturer of the display would be BOE, a company based in Beijing and R&D centers around the world.

Although the Chinese brand has decided to present its folding phone with 5G connectivity to the Korean officials, Huawei Korea has not revealed additional details on when this new foldable smartphone would arrive in stores. For now, only the United States and Europe are ready for 5G networks, so it is very likely that this mobile will be sold first in these regions.

Amazon Japan to sell a 63 Amiibo pack of Super Smash Bros Ultimate characters

Amazon Japan is celebrating the release of the upcoming Super Smash Bros Ultimate with a new package of Amiibo that we hadn’t seen before. Far from being a simple Amiibo pack, it will be a box with a total of 63 statuettes with the characters belonging to the future Nintendo Switch game.

Instagram To Eliminate Fake Accounts, Followers, and Malicious Third-Party Apps

Instagram wants a clean and controlled platform, and from now on will pay particular attention to the activity generated not by people, but by third-party applications with access to accounts, according to a statement. These apps have the objective of tracking and sending false messages, to grow the base of followers of those who use them, without requiring a manual effort. It is frequent and common to see them engage in SPAM practices.

Instagram will identify the accounts that use these applications by using artificial intelligence, both in the detection and in the elimination of the activity that violates the Community Norms and Conditions of Use of Instagram.

One of the most worrying parts of the matter is that to operate, as is logical, applications that generate fake content to access the username and password of Instagram users on behalf of those who produce content. It is very shocking that this can happen in the era in which the Cambridge Analytica case has made users rethink using Facebook, because access to all data and control granted is not more significant in this case, but is total.

Instagram To Eliminate Fake Accounts, Followers, and Malicious Third-Party Apps

Therefore, Instagram will send a message within the application to the accounts that use these malicious apps, informing them of the removal of content. In this regard, Instagram will also ask users to change their password to revoke third-party access.

Those users who continue to use the applications despite the warnings, may have their Instagram experience limited, as certain functions would be denied. The false content of Instagram was not very annoying at the moment, but seeing the network lose personality in the same sense that Facebook was filled with clickbait is something that the company (Facebook) does not want.

Recently, Facebook claims to have deleted 7.8 million photos on child pornography thanks to artificial intelligence, while it also eliminated 583 million fake accounts in the first quarter of this year.
