Netflix brings three new sci-fi series to its service

'Warrior Nun' is based on 'Warrior Nun Areala'

Three new sci-fi shows are coming to Netflix soon and two of them are comic- and manga-inspired. The first one is Warrior Nun, a manga-inspired series that follows a woman who wakes up in a morgue and finds herself part of an ancient order of demon hunters. Ghost Wars’ Simon Barry will be serving as showrunner. The comic-inspired series is called October Faction. Based on the IDW comic series, it also involves a couple of monster hunters. Fred and Deloris Allen return to Fred’s hometown to discover its secret, while trying to keep their identities under wraps. Sleepy Hollow’s Damian Kindler will be the show’s executive producer and showrunner. Lastly, there’s The I-Land, which is an ensemble show where 10 people find themselves on an island with no memories of who they are and how they got there. The island has some grueling challenges they need to survive and hopefully improve from. Kate Bosworth is starring and producing the series. She is joined by The Crossing’s Natalie Martinez and I Am Number Four’s Alex Pettyfer. There are no release dates yet for the shows.

A new hybrid watch from LG has been reported for months already but it looks like the company is ready for it to launch. Evan Blass a.k.a. @evleaks reported that the LG Watch G7 will launch alongside the V40 ThinQ smartphone on October 3rd. Its existence has been reported through FCC filings that suggest it comes with a 1.2-inch display, 768MB RAM, and 4GB of storage. It won’t, however, have GPS or NFC functions. At that time, it was rumoured to be called Watch Timepiece. Now, whether these specs line up, we’ll find out soon enough.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro spotted on a subway train

There seems to be an ongoing trend of soon-to-be-announced phones showing up on subways (the last one being the Google Pixel 3 XL). This time we see a man holding what looks to be the Huawei Mate 20 Pro while he takes a subway ride. While the front of the device doesn’t really stand out, the rear shows a Twilight-like color with the triple camera system in a square setup. The fingerprint-smudged rear also has what you see a barcode sticker, which usually signifies it’s a prototype or test unit.
