The next folk 200 megapixels? Honor 90 Unveiled – Totally Flicker-Free, 5000mAh, 66W, 200MP for $355

Today, Honor officially unveiled the Honor 90 smartphone. At a base price of $355, the device offers a lot of things, and most importantly, it finally has a completely new generation platform.
The Honor 90 is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, a big step up from the Snapdragon 782G in the Honor 80. Another major innovation is the OLED screen with a very high PWM frequency of 3840Hz. This is twice as much as most flagships. Therefore, the display of the $ 355 Honor does not flicker, unlike the screens of the much more expensive iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S23. The diagonal of the OLED panel is 6.7 inches, the maximum brightness is 1600 cd / sq.m., the frame rate is 120 Hz.
The front camera of the model is with a 50-megapixel sensor. In the main sensor, in addition to the 200-megapixel sensor, there is also a 12-megapixel sensor (with an ultra-wide-angle lens) and a 2-megapixel sensor (for analyzing the depth of the scene).
The Honor 90 weighs 183 grams and is 7.8 mm thick. The smartphone received a 5000 mAh battery with support for 66 W wired charging. Honor 90 is running Android 13 with MagicOS 7.1 interface.
Prices look like this: 12/256 GB – $355, 16/256 GB – $395, 16/512 GB – $425.

BMW, Audi and Mercedes have tightened up. Introduced luxury 5-meter Toyota Crown Sedan on the Lexus LS platform

Toyota is systematically working on expanding the Crown line – earlier in Japan, a flagship sedan was produced under this designation, and now Crown is a separate brand. It already includes a Crown cross-sedan and an interesting Crown Sport crossover, and now a regular Crown sedan has been declassified in Japan.
The car turned out to be really big: the dimensions are 5030 x 1890 x 1470 mm, the wheelbase is 3000 mm. That is, it is slightly larger than the BMW 5-series. Of course, the sedan is designed for five, in the base it has 19-inch wheels, in the top version – 20-inch.
There is no data on the motors, but the Crown sedan will be presented in two versions: a conventional hybrid and a hybrid with a hydrogen power plant. It is no coincidence that the sedan is based on the TNGA-L platform, on which the Lexus LS and the Toyota Mirai hydrogen car are built.
If outwardly the Crown sedan looks like a cross-sedan, then inside it is decorated no worse than a Lexus – with natural wood inserts and genuine leather. The space in the rear seats is simply royal. At the push of a button on the sidewall, the front passenger seat can be moved forward to provide even more legroom for the rear passenger.

Introduced a very unusual keyboard in the style of classic typewriters for PC and smartphones

Fineday is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to launch a keyboard that can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0 to a Windows or Mac computer, as well as an iOS or Android tablet or smartphone. Mobile devices can be fixed like a sheet of paper right on the keyboard, which is made in the style of classic typewriters.
The keyboard can also be wired. If it works via Bluetooth, the device will need two AA batteries as a power source – nothing is said about the battery life.
Both the Fineday case and the surfaces of all its keys are made from 6063 anodized aircraft grade aluminum. The characters are engraved on the keys so they shouldn’t wear off as quickly as on a regular keyboard. Each key hides a Cherry MX Blue switch and is LED backlit.
Along with these keys, Fineday also has left and right knobs. The left knob adjusts the brightness of the backlight, while the right knob adjusts the volume of the paired device.
Early buyers can purchase the devices for $655 and end up with a price of $1,100.
