Huawei has officially introduced the final member of its P30 series of smartphones: the Huawei P30 Lite. We’ve already seen what the P30 Pro can do (except we haven’t really seen what it can do, yet — the low-light camera performance is said to be amazing) and the P30 is no slouch either.

Samsung’s latest and greatest smartphone is here at last. Well, it’s nearly here – 8 March, the Galaxy S10’s launch date, is right around the corner and you don’t want to be caught out without one. That’s why just about everyone has Samsung’s newest device family available for pre-order. If you want one on Day One, you’re going to have to reserve it.
Ride-sharing services like Uber have made the drive home after a night out a safer experience but there is something…
What is it about the portfolio that the communications minister so often seems bereft of their senses?
During the ongoing Please Call me saga between Vodacom and its former employee Nkosana Makate, Communications minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams last month tweeted: “Just shut up Vodacom and do the right thing. ’Talk to Makate’ instead of this poor PR stunt.
