Gallery of the day: shots taken with Laowa Argus lenses with a maximum aperture of f / 0.95
In January of this year, Venus Optics announced four Laowa Argus lenses with a maximum aperture of f / 0.95, which it is planning to release this year. More specifically, the Laowa Argus 25mm F0.95 Micro Four Thirds model is due in the fourth quarter, while the APS-C format Laowa Argus 33mm F0.95 and the full-frame Laowa Argus 35mm F0.95 and Laowa Argus 45mm F0.95 models. – in the second quarter. At the same time, the technical characteristics of these manual focus lenses and the estimated prices of three of the four models became known.
Yesterday, the source published a series of images that give a preliminary idea of the capabilities of the new lenses at full aperture. Note that in many cases ND filters had to be used to obtain an acceptable exposure.

5100 mAh, 88 W, 120 Hz, IP68, satellite connection and XMAGE curve camera with 48, 48 and 40 MP sensors. Presented Huawei P60 Art

Together with the P60 and P60 Pro smartphones, Huawei today introduced the P60 Art. She has the best camera of the entire line, but visually this camera stands out very much.
In its shape, the camera block resembles a sea stone or an ocean island turned by water, and the waves around it imitate water. However, the shape is very unusual, there is no geometric accuracy of the Huawei P60 camera unit. The “crooked” camera of the Huawei P60 Art also turned out to be the best in the line: the main module and the periscope one, and it has the same ones as the Huawei P60 Pro (recall, both have 48-megapixel RYYB sensors and fast lenses), but in the module with a 40-megapixel sensor is installed with an ultra-wide-angle lens.
The second difference from Huawei P60 and P60 Pro is the battery capacity increased to 5100 mAh. But the maximum charging power is the same as other models in the line – 88 watts.
Otherwise, the Huawei P60 Art is no different from the P60 and P60 Pro: it is equipped with a 6.67-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1.5K and a frame rate of 120Hz, IP68 protection, ultra-hard Kunlun glass and supports two-way satellite communication.
Huawei P60 Art became the most expensive model in the line: the version with 512 GB of flash memory is estimated at $1305, the cost of the version with 1 TB of flash memory is $1595.

Employees of Apple and Twitter are driven to the offices. You can get fired for working from home

Zoe Schiffer, who was recently managing editor of Twitter and now holds the same position at Platformer, said that Apple strictly monitors how employees visit offices.
Apple tracks employee attendance (using electronic badge records) and alerts employees if they don’t show up to the office at least 3 times a week.

Some at Apple, according to Schiffer, say that non-compliance could lead to dismissal, but she added that this does not seem like company policy.
In addition, she revealed that her former boss, Elon Musk, sent an email to Twitter employees at 2:30 a.m. stating that “office visits are no longer optional.” The billionaire noticed that the San Francisco office was half empty when he last visited.

Advanced XMAGE camera, IP68 protection, heavy-duty Kunlun glass. Huawei P60 and P60 Pro unveiled, world’s first two-way satellite smartphones

Huawei today introduced its new flagships P60 and P60 Pro. The novelties turned out to be very interesting – in many ways they differ from the flagships of other companies.
The Huawei P60 features a 6.67-inch 4-sided OLED screen with a resolution of 2700 x 1200 pixels, a frame rate of 120Hz and a PWM frequency of 1440Hz. Interestingly, the Huawei P60 Pro has exactly the same display. As a result, the dimensions of both flagships are exactly the same, the difference is only in weight: the Pro version is several grams heavier. The screen is protected by ultra-strong Kunlun glass. And the phones are protected from external influences in accordance with the degree of IP68.
The cameras of the P60 and P60 Pro differ in that Huawei did not pursue megapixels – the maximum resolution (of the main sensor) is only 48 megapixels. This approach strongly resembles Apple’s approach to designing iPhone cameras.
The Huawei P60 camera is represented by three modules. The main one has a 48-megapixel sensor with an RYYB pixel layout, an F / 1.4-4.0 variable aperture lens and an optical stabilization system. The ultra wide-angle module has a 13-megapixel (RYYB) sensor and an F/2.2 lens, but no optical stabilization. Finally, the third module is responsible for 5x optical zoom, it uses a 12-megapixel sensor (RYYB) and has optical stabilization.
The first two modules of the Huawei P60 Pro are exactly the same as those of the younger model, but the module responsible for the optical zoom is different. Firstly, the resolution is higher – as much as 48 megapixels (apparently, exactly the same sensor is used here as in the main module), and secondly, there is just a huge aperture for the periscope module – F / 2.1. Therefore, pictures taken with optical zoom look as bright and saturated as pictures taken with the main camera.
This is how examples of photos taken with the Huawei P60 camera look like:
The parameters of the power subsystem for Huawei P60 and P60 Pro are the same: the phones received batteries with a capacity of 4815 mAh, support 88 W wired charging and 50 W wireless power.
The difference from the Galaxy S23 is that the P60 and P60 Pro come with an appropriate power supply, and with two ports at once: USB-A and USB-C.
Huawei P60 and P60 Pro became the first phones from the manufacturer with HarmonyOS 3.1 out of the box. And they are the first in the world to support two-way satellite communications: using the Chinese Beidou satellite system, you can not only send messages, but also receive them. In fact, satellite communication is already a real alternative to cellular, although there are still restrictions on sending messages and calls using satellite.
Interestingly, Huawei has not yet declassified the P60 / P60 Pro hardware platform and did not talk about prices. We will update the news as soon as this data becomes available.
