Huawei Y5 2017 gets low key unveiling, boasts of long battery life

It was just last September when Huawei unveiled the Y5II, one of 3 smartphones in its low-cost Y series targeted at the “youth” in Kenya. Over half a year later, it looks like Huawei is ready to replace the Y5II with yet another member of the Y series, the Huawei Y5 2017.

A new listing on Huawei’s product site reveals the existence of the Huawei Y5 2017, a previously unreleased device. The listing and apparent lack of mention by the company is not really surprising. This has been the norm for most of the company’s entry-level and lower mid-range smartphones. Even the reveal of the Y5II and its siblings the Y6II and Y3II last year went largely unnoticed since a formal announcement was never made by the company. The device simply started popping up in markets like Pakistan, Kenya and others.

At just 8.45mm thick, the Huawei Y5 2017 features a 5-inch HD (720p) display, an 8-megapixel camera at the back with dual flash and a 5-megapixel camera on the front with a wide-angle lens, a quad-core MediaTek MT6737T processor clocked at 1.4GHz backed by a Mali-T720 MP2 GPU, 16GB onboard storage (expandable up to 128GB via microSD), 2GB RAM, Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1 layered on top and a removable 3,000mAh battery that reportedly lasts for up to a day and a half on a single charge with optimum usage.

With its budget smartphone feature set, the Huawei Y5 2017 is definitely a smartphone we can look forward to seeing in the Kenyan market some time this year in its Pink, Gold, Blue, White and Gray color options even though we don’t know, yet, how much it will cost. If it indeed does make it to the Kenyan market, then it will be joining the Huawei GR5 2017 launched in February in appealing to the budget segment of the market.

'We sold our home to build a social network'

Zoe Kleinman The Hughes family in Manchester have quit their jobs and put everything they own into building a social network aimed solely at sports fans. But can they take on the giants? "We see ourselves sitting at the top table with the big boys," says father Perry Hughes confidently. "We don't think we're taking on the competition." It might sound optimistic to put your family business in the same league as the multi-billion dollar social networks but the Hughes family certainly have the passion to give it a go. Their big idea is GameDay Xtra, which has the bold ambition of hosting a page for every single sports team and player in the world - with even the humblest of leagues able to share their own news. Son Sam, 21, has suspended his university studies and works through the night on the project. Daughter Mollie, 18, handles the social media side. GameDay is purely for sports fans, the family say. Members get live...

LG Display's 65-inch TV rolls up like wrapping paper

With the press of a button, LG Display's 65-inch screen slowly lowers into a box, rolling up around a solid core like wrapping paper. - The tech company showed off an impressive prototype of its latest rolling-screen technology at International CES 2018 in Las Vegas. Last year, it demoed a smaller 18-inch version that could fit in your back pocket. But now its latest -- and much larger -- display can roll up, too. The front of the 4k OLED display works and looks just like a regular TV screen. When rolled out, it's rigid and flat. The back is covered in small vertical slats, which allow it to curve for storage. The screen can also be rolled partially down to create different aspect ratios. A few inches of the display can be left up to show information like the weather or headlines. LG Display -- a research arm of LG Electronics, Corp -- focuses on developing innovative display technologies, which it then sells directly to display manufacturers that w...
