Huawei-owned sub brand Honor has unveiled its latest Honor V20 at an event in Hong Kong on Monday.

Honor V20 specifications and features
The price of the Honor V20 has not been revealed at the announcement in Hong Kong. However, we can expect Honor to announce the phone's China price at the event in Beijing on December 26, and the global pricing at the event in Paris next month.Touted as the “world's first in-screen camera smartphone”, the Honor V20 has a small display hole on the top left corner of the screen. The hole itself has a diameter of 4.5mm, helping increase the screen-to-body ratio. It also bears a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 camera sensor at the back, which comes with a 1/2.0-inch CMOS sensor, 4-in-1 Light Fusion, 4 times sensor HDR, and AI capabilities. Honor V20 is powered by the latest 7nm octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC.Other than that, Honor claims that the V20 sports a premium design with 5-axis ring dispensing technology, 0.1mm precision assembly, and a customised camera lens. One of the teaser images suggests that the phone might get GPU Turbo gaming technology.
Link Turbo is another feature that Honor announced at the event today. This is essentially a technology that aims to combine Wi-Fi and LTE connections to offer lag reduction and faster speeds using on-device and cloud multi-path aggregation. It uses AI capabilities to provide the most optimal result.

Couple that with the rotating tourbillon and the suggestion is that this watch will remain accurate under all sorts of pressure. Further, rest of the movement includes carbon fiber and aluminum which reduces the effects of temperat...

HTML - Lists

HTML offers web authors three ways for specifying lists of information. All lists must contain one or more list elements. Lists may contain − <ul>  − An unordered list. This will list items using plain bullets. <ol>  − An ordered list. This will use different schemes of numbers to list your items. <dl>  − A definition list. This arranges your items in the same way as they are arranged in a dictionary. HTML Unordered Lists An unordered list is a collection of related items that have no special order or sequence. This list is created by using HTML  <ul>  tag. Each item in the list is marked with a bullet. Example <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> HTML Unordered List </title> </head> <body> <ul> <li> Beetroot </li> <li> Ginger </li> <li> Potato </li> <li> Radis...
