Avengers: Infinity War Breaks Records #SouthAfrica @Disney @Marvel #AvengersInfinityWar

Hi Friends,

Marvel Studios film becomes the biggest opening day and weekend of all time in South Africa. Audiences across Africa assembled in cinemas this past weekend (April 27-29) to witness the unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making, delivering Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War not only to the top of the box office but also into the record books.

The nineteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe took in nearly R24.6 million at the South African Box Office, with over 287k attendances for its opening weekend, including Thursday night previews. This debut ranks as the biggest industry opening weekend ever in South African Box Office history. Friday 27 April also saw Avengers: Infinity War takes in over R8.4 million, the biggest industry opening day ever at the local box office. I was part of the Thursday 8:30pm show at Cinema 1 @SterKinekor, Mall of Africa and totally loved the movie. The people present didn't want the same to end as they wanted to see all the next part too. No one even moved their seats as they all waited to see the scenes after the End Credits rolled out. It's a long wait now for the closing part of the movie scheduled to release next year in 2019 May.
Avengers: Infinity War Breaks Records #SouthAfrica @Disney @Marvel #AvengersInfinityWar
Elsewhere on the continent, Avengers: Infinity War has become the biggest opening weekend of all time in West Africa with over N137.4 million. The film achieved the biggest April and second highest opening weekend (after Marvel Studios’ Black Panther) in East Africa with over kes 23.4 million.

Also in cinemas, Marvel Studios’ Black Panther continued its historic run at the South African Box Office with the film passing an unprecedented R105 million with nearly 1.4m attendances.

Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther are now in cinemas. Go and check out both the movies at a cinema near you. 

About the Film:
An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe. Anthony and Joe Russo direct the film, which is produced by Kevin Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo, Trinh Tran, Jon Favreau, James Gunn and Stan Lee are the executive producers. Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay.
 
Review: The movie is awesome if you fans of Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy as they collaborate a lot in this movie. Secondly, if you are fans of Dr. Strange and Iron Man and Hulk and his associate SpiderMan or Peter Parker as they fight it out together and are the main strategists of the game to be revealed in the next part of the movie. And if you are Black Panther fan with Captain America and Black Widow, you will be in amazement. Black Panther scenes really bring the theatre on the stand as people start hooting and applauding. I think BP is going to be one movie which will continue to top the charts all across Africa. Overall, it's a great movie in terms of graphics and storyline and I wanted it to never end and second part shall be released just next week. 

Cheers!!!

12 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Pride

Hi Friends, 

I have told several stories of my life and how and why The Life's Way came into existence. There have been thousands of contests I participated in and hundreds I have won to receive small to big prizes. I have been in the attitude of a winner and that's the only reason I could win so many things. But sometimes with the same comes pride which will take your attitude away and brings ego in. I have been part of this cycle numerous times and it feels bad to fall into this vicious trap again and again. Feelings and emotions are difficult to control unless you follow the law of detachment. But it's not so easy to stay attached while being detached.

There are so many things that are clouding my mind and stopping me to do and achieve what I want to do for The Life's Way. I was reading through and came across an idea of Fair Exchange which means that you provide much more value than you receive. I have been following this principle initially during my first 2-3 years in my blog but then I set my ego into the same and that's a downward path for sure. Now after completing 5 years on my blog, I am thinking of just giving out a great fair exchange without any ask but remember it exchanges are not open season.
12 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Pride
Sometimes brands and PR agencies use you to complete their targets but you get nothing in return. Now I am thinking why waste time sweating the small stuff of what they do to you but if your time is what they are wasting then don't look backwards and fire the bridge between till there is a fair exchange policy and understanding between you and the brand. It is a lot of time to keep running this blog and to share the content you want to display on your social media channels. I do whatever I am on with passion and commitment and will continue to do so but my focus will be my happiness and not someone else's.

I will totally give my end's worth despite whatever the other person tells or says and will do my own writing an edge by buying stuff and reviewing it or by lending them out. I am going the minimalist way so I won't hoard stuff I don't want or don't like and give it away to my family members or friends whosoever wants it and values it. The next thing I want to save money is for the Apple Mac Book Pro as I am tired of my Dell XPS 15 laptop whose battery is now dead and too heavy to carry and work around wherever I want. Apple laptop will help to write stuff as and when I want and will give me around 5-6 hours of battery life on the go!

Cheers!!!

@HuaweiZA Reveals The Future of Smartphone AI Photography #HuaweiP20pro #SeeMooore

Hi Friends,

Huawei Consumer Business Group, South Africa unveiled their highly anticipated Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro, barely a week after the phones’ global launch in Paris. The P20 Series promises to usher in a new era of smartphone cameras that combine the very latest in smartphone technology with Leica Camera’s legendary expertise, driven by artificial intelligence.

“Huawei’s flagship Huawei P Series devices are known for their best-in-class camera, cutting-edge technology, and sophisticated design. Continuing this illustrious tradition, the new Huawei P20 and Huawei P20Pro fuse art with advanced mobile technology to offer a revolutionary, professional photography experience,” explains Likun Zhao, Vice President of Huawei Consumer Business Group South Africa.

Photography world-firsts powered by AI

The Huawei P20 Pro is equipped with the world’s first Leica triple camera with the highest total pixel count on a smartphone available in the market. This precise camera system comprises a 1 x 40MP RGB sensor, 1 x 20MP monochrome sensor, and 1 x 8MP sensor with a telephoto lens. This results in images with more light, greater zoom, and intricate detail, with the 40MP sensor on the Huawei P20 Pro providing up to 300 percent more detail compared to 12MP sensors.

The Huawei P20 features a Leica dual camera, with a 12MP RGB + 20MP monochrome camera setup. The 12MP sensor has a pixel size as high as 1.55 μm, significantly enhancing the Huawei P20’s capacity to capture photographs in low-light settings.

With their groundbreaking triple camera design, the Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro achieved the highest score in the history of well-known camera review website DxOMark – a total score of 109 for the HUAWEI P20 Pro and a total score of 102 for the Huawei P20.
@HuaweiZA Reveals The Future of Smartphone AI Photography #HuaweiP20pro
The on-device AI in the Huawei P20 series also provides users with tools to turn even the most amateur photographer into a pro. Its real-time scene and object recognition technology can recognize more than 500 scenarios in 18 categories for users to choose the right skills at the right moment. Once an object or a scene is identified, the smartphone automatically makes adjustments to produce the best possible results. Using machine learning, the devices also understand the photography habits of users over time, making suggestions based on various actions.

An exquisite combination of art and technology for an immersive experience

The 5.8-inch screen Huawei P20 and 6.1-inch screen Huawei P20 Pro feature ultra-thin bezels and impressive screen-to-body ratios for better viewing experiences with more on-screen information. The Huawei FullView Display offers an immersive experience whether the user is gaming, watching videos, reading, or browsing the Internet. The Huawei FullView Display seamlessly blends with rounded edges, making the device comfortable to hold.

Commenting on the design of the Huawei P20 Series, Akhram Mohamed, Marketing Director, Huawei Consumer Business Group South Africa, says, “These devices come to life in a new vibrant gradient color, Twilight, in addition to Black and Midnight Blue. These signature colors are achieved by applying several layers of Non-conductive Vacuum Metalising (NCVM) optical coatings underneath the glass back, so light hitting the surface refracts and creates a gradual change in hue. On Twilight, for example, the gradient color fades layer by layer from a striking blue to vibrant purple.”

Leading AI computing and ultimate power performance

The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro feature the powerful Kirin 970, which introduces the latest generation 12-core GPU. With the new HiAI mobile computing architecture, the on-device neural network processing unit (NPU) delivers AI performance that surpasses any CPU in AI-related tasks with 50 times the efficiency and 25 times the performance. In a benchmark image recognition test, Kirin 970 processed 2,000 images per minute. In addition, the chip’s machine learning capabilities mean that it has the potential to further improve its performance with extended use.

The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro come pre-installed with EMUI 8.1 based on Android 8.1. Fully customizable with AI support and sophisticated security technology, EMUI 8.1 is set to become the new gold standard in smartphone operating systems.

“The Huawei P20 series features TÜV Safety Certified Huawei SuperCharge technology – one of the most prestigious battery certifications in the world. The devices feature 3,400 mAh and 4,000 mAh batteries, respectively, and support 4.5V/5A low-voltage fast charging, as well as intelligent power management. A 10-minute charge powers the battery to 20 percent, while a 30-minute charge powers the battery to 58 percent. The battery remains at a low temperature during fast charging to ensure safety,” says Zhao.

Other notable features of the P20 series to look out for include:
  • The Huawei P20 Pro sports a revolutionary and highly-sensitive image sensor of 1/1.7 inches, 170 percent larger than its closest competitor, with a pixel size of 2 μm micrometers. The Huawei P20 has a pixel size of 1.55 μm. Its larger image sensor allows for bigger pixels, which in turn enables the device to capture more light and produce cleaner, higher-quality shots.
  • The Huawei P20 Pro is equipped with f/1.8, f/1.6 and f/2.4 wide aperture Leica lenses, while the Huawei P20 features f/1.8 and f/1.6 wide aperture Leica lenses.
  • The Huawei P20 Pro includes a brand new Leica telephoto (VARIO-SUMMILUX-H 1:1.6-2.4/27-80ASPH) lens for long-range photography of up to 3x optical, 10x digital zoom and 5x Hybrid Zoom. The Huawei P20 delivers 2x Hybrid Zoom.
  • The HUAWEI P20 Series uses Huawei AIS (AI Image Stabilisation) technology to recognize objects with an AI algorithm, then filters and corrects images as a result of shifts and blurs caused by an unsteady hand holding the device. Huawei AIS steadies handheld night shots for incredible long exposure images without a tripod.
  • The new devices also support six-axis stabilization and 960fps super slow motion, which is 4x higher than the standard 240fps and captures details that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
  • The P20 Series features Ultra Snapshot mode, where the devices can capture an image in as little as 0.3 seconds, even from an off screen.
  • Both smartphones boast 4D predictive focus, where the camera predicts moving objects and focuses on them with extreme efficiency to capture minute details of these objects in motion.
  • The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro pack a 24MP selfie camera with AI beautification, which captures the smallest details and brings selfies to life through natural skin tone enhancements, delicately outlined face shapes, and 3D facial feature adjustments.
  • The Huawei P20 Pro has an IP67 rating – six for dust resistance and seven for water resistance – which means it can withstand being submerged in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The Huawei P20 is rated IP53 for splash resistance.
  • The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro can be connected to a monitor in PC mode, which provides a desktop environment for users. With PC mode, users can enjoy the productivity benefits of a desktop, complete with keyboard and mouse functionalities on the phone, without having to carry a laptop around.
“The all-new Huawei P20 Series is a huge leap forward from the previous generation, blending technology and art to bring consumers an unprecedented experience. From the artistic design, gradient colors and Leica triple camera, to the Kirin 970 chipset and Master AI photography features, Huawei demonstrates its accumulated knowledge in photography innovation, and its commitment to intelligent technology research and development,” concludes Mohamed. Huawei's Consumer BG believes that competitiveness begins and ends with consumers. With this in mind, in 2018 we will continue to innovate in core technologies – including AI, AR, and VR — to guide evolution from smart devices to intelligent devices.
