200 MP, 5000 mAh, 90 W and Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. Key features of Honor 90 Pro and Honor 90 revealed
An insider, known on the Weibo social network under the nickname Panda is Bald, has published the key characteristics of two promising Honor smartphones – Honor 90 and Honor 90 Pro. Information about these models is presented on the plates, which are usually placed on the windows of stores that sell smartphones. Apparently, new items are already being shipped to Honor partners – and they are ready to put the devices on the counter.
According to new data, the Honor 90 Pro is based on the SoC Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. The device also has a curved (on four sides) screen with a PWM frequency of 3840 Hz. True, there is a footnote in the description, so it is possible that such a frequency is achieved only in some special mode of operation.
The sensor resolution of the main camera is 200 megapixels, front – 32 megapixels. The battery capacity is 5000mAh and supports 90W fast wired charging. The operating system is Android 13 with MagicOS 7.1 interface.
Interestingly, the key parameters of Honor 90 are the same – 200 MP, 5000 mAh, MagicOS 7.1. But the screen will obviously be simpler, and the charging speed will be lower. In addition, according to an insider, the base Honor 90 will be built on the SoC Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
Recall that the official premiere of Honor 90 will take place in a week or so – on May 29.
Previously, Panda is Bald leaked many details about various Huawei phones (for example, he was among the first to point out the September announcement of the Mate 50 and the fact that these phones will not have a Kirin SoC), which subsequently proved to be true.

Microsoft has released a major Windows 11 update for all users – installation optional
Microsoft has made a major update to the Windows 11 operating system, also known as Moment 5, available to all users as an optional update KB5035942.
Users can optionally install KB5035942 through Windows Update. Previously, the company allowed enthusiasts to manually activate new features from an update. Moment 5 is now available to everyone directly from Windows Update.
Windows 11 Moment 5 brings quite a lot of innovations. Among them are an improved Copilot AI assistant function with new plugins and skills, improved “Photos” with a smart “eraser”, an improved Clipchamp video editor (possibly removing “awkward pauses”), closer integration with Android smartphones (can now be used in as a webcam), and much more.

Space meteorologists predicted a new geomagnetic storm: the Sun is approaching maximum activity
Space meteorologists have issued a forecast for this week warning of a possible geomagnetic storm caused by the release of plasma from a solar flare. This could affect radio transmissions on Earth and contribute to the observation of the “northern lights.”
According to an alert issued March 23 by NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, the public has no reason to be concerned.
Mainly, solar storms can disrupt high-frequency radio transmissions, such as communications between aircraft and remote towers. Jonathan Lash, a forecaster at the center, noted that many commercial aircraft can use satellite communications as a backup option.
Satellite operators may also have problems tracking their spacecraft, and the power grid may detect induced current in its lines.
“For the general public in high latitudes, with clear skies, this will be a great opportunity to see the ‘northern lights,'” Lash said.
Every 11 years, the Sun’s magnetic field changes and its north and south poles switch places. During this cycle, solar activity also changes and is now approaching its peak, which is called solar maximum.
During solar maximum, geomagnetic storms like the one observed last Sunday can occur on Earth several times a year, according to Lash. During periods of solar minimum, several years may pass between storms.
Last December, the largest solar flare in recent years disrupted radio communications.

BYD cuts prices on 100 models to beat Toyota and Volkswagen
BYD is going to beat Toyota and Volkswagen by offering modern cars at very low prices. According to Bloomberg, the Chinese automaker has reduced prices on more than 100 of its electric and hybrid models.
For example, BYD’s new generation-changing Seagull hatchback now costs less than $10,000, while the manufacturer’s best-selling electric sedan, the Qin Plus, costs less than $11,000.
BYD announced the beginning of an era called “electricity is cheaper than oil”, when hybrid and pure electric models become as affordable as traditional models with internal combustion engines, or even cheaper.
In total, BYD has already relaunched more than 70 models with lower prices. According to Bloomberg, only the newest Yangwang supercar worth 233 thousand dollars has not fallen in price so far.
By lowering prices, BYD wants to convince drivers to ditch gasoline cars and switch to electric vehicles and hybrids. This aggressive pricing policy poses a real threat to Toyota, Volkswagen, Nissan and other manufacturers.
Previously, BYD Auto officially announced the production of its 7 millionth new energy vehicle, which turned out to be the Denza N7.
