The Huawei Nova 9 SE has been leaked, and it is the company’s first phone with a 108MP camera

Can you believe Huawei has yet to release a phone with a 108 MP camera? For its flagships, the company prioritised sensor size over resolution, but they can afford optical zoom. When all the phone has is digital zoom, 108 MP sensors come in handy, and such sensors have been popular among mid-range phones.

This brings us to the leaked information on the Huawei nova 9 SE, which is expected to be the company’s first phone with a 108 MP camera. According to WinFuture, the phone will cost between €250 and €280. On the European market, there are a few sub-€300 phones with 108 MP cameras, but competition is always good.

Huawei has had difficulty sourcing chips, particularly those with 5G connectivity, so it’s no surprise that the 9 SE is a 4G-only phone. The Snapdragon 665, on the other hand, is a surprise; this 11 nm chipset was announced in early 2019, making it three years old. The Snapdragon 680 is a more recent 4G chip built on a 6 nm process, but we imagine it would have been too expensive.

In any case, the nova 9 SE is said to have 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, and a microSD slot (which both the nova 9 and nova 9 Pro lack). It will run Android 11 with EMUI 12 on top, but will not be able to access Google Play services.

In terms of display, Huawei has chosen a 6.78″ LCD with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,388 px (19.9:9 aspect ratio). There’s no word on a high refresh rate or toughened glass, but it’s possible that information was left out of the leak.

In addition, the phone will have a 4,000 mAh battery with fast charging (power rating unknown), a fingerprint reader built into the power button, and NFC.

It’s unclear when Huawei will make the nova 9 SE official, but the leak claims that it will be available in Europe soon.

PS. We couldn’t help but notice that the Honor 50 SE is nearly identical to the Honor 50, save for the addition of a 5G-enabled chipset (a Dimensity 900). There are a few other distinctions, such as the microSD slot (perhaps more, depending on how accurate the leaked info is). However, the Honor 50 SE is not available in Europe.

During the first three months of FY 2024-25 (July to September), Pakistan’s IT export remittances hit US$ 876 million, a notable 33.54 percent rise from US$ 656 million during the same period previous year (FY 2023-24).

In a statement, Minister of State for IT and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja stated that the amount of money sent home by the export of ICT services was US$ 292 million in September 2024, a 41.7% increase from US$ 206 million in the same month the previous year.

She stated that efforts to make it easier for businesses to conduct business in the nation are the reason why IT exports are rising and that actions are being taken to increase them.

In response to the Prime Minister’s directions, Shaza Fatima stated that the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication, the Pakistan Software Export Board, and the IT industry are dedicated to boosting IT exports with the full assistance of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC).

A trade surplus of US$ 764 million was recorded by the IT & ITeS sector in the first three months of FY 2024–25, accounting for 87.21 percent of all ICT export remittances.

Over the same period last year, this surplus represents a 36.67 percent gain over US$ 559 million. The services industry as a whole, however, experienced a trade deficit of US$ 699 million during this period.

The largest of all service sectors, ICT export remittances from July to September 2024, were US$ 656 million, followed by “other business services” at US$ 374 million.

Instagram, WhatsApp, and Reality Labs layoffs are announced by Meta

Instagram, WhatsApp, and Reality Labs divisions of tech behemoth Meta have all announced layoffs.

Part of the company’s continuous endeavour to match resources with its long-term strategic goals and location plan is the decision that was made on Wednesday.

The long-term goal of the adjustments, according to a statement from Meta, is to keep the business competitive. “Today, a few teams at Meta are making changes to ensure resources are aligned with their long-term strategic goals and location strategy,” said the statement. Though attempts would be made to assist affected staff in securing other opportunities, the corporation stated that although some employees will move to different roles, others may find their positions abolished.

Despite not disclosing the precise number of layoffs, Meta seems to be carrying out CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s “Year of Efficiency,” which he started in the previous year. In an effort to reduce costs overall and shift its attention away from the Metaverse, Meta has eliminated over 10,000 workers since making that announcement.

Curiously, the second quarter’s financial results beat expectations, and this was announced right after the layoffs. That being said, the decision to restructure its virtual reality hardware and software operations was probably influenced by the department’s continued significant losses.
