Huawei teases P50 series during HarmonyOS launch

Huawei has just held a big launch for its HarmonyOS 2.0 launch in China, and the company wanted to show off its next-generation smartphone at the launch—at least through a 45-second promo of the device. It didn't say, though, when it will release the new handset. 

But the promo featured a slow pan of the device, showing the quad-camera system on the P50. The series is expected to launch with a 1-inch Sony IMX800 camera sensor. Basing it off the screengrab from the video, GSMArena believes it can go from 18mm to 125mm, suggesting it has a 5x periscope zoom.

Ubisoft is releasing an update for Watch Dogs: Legion that will have you and up to three teammates working to reach an extraction point while trying to take down zombies.

This mode is currently only available for the PC, and it's currently in alpha so expect to run into some bugs and big changes to happen.
