When it comes to a smartphone, everyone has a list of the same key features. Be it camera or display or sometimes even additional accessories, each of these are well-known by many of us and these are the things we look out for when buying a new device. However, the HUAWEI nova 5T, Huawei’s latest mid-tier trendy flagship smartphone takes things up a notch and brings with it a few extra goodies. Here is how you can use these features.

5 AI Cameras that can do a lot more than you think

On the outside, we can see the HUAWEI nova 5T’s 5 AI powered camera setup. This camera setup is not to be taken lightly as it is equipped with enough power for perfect shots. A combination of 48MP HD lens, 16MP Ultra-Wide angle lens, 2MP Macro, 2MP bokeh and a 32MP AI powered Selfie Superstar lens ensure all your photos, be it low-light, wide landscape, extreme close-ups, portrait shots and even selfies are of the best quality.

 

However, this is not just because of powerful camera hardware. What you don’t see is the super smart AI working behind the scenes. Thanks to this hidden power, your camera will easily recognize up to 22 categories including pets, beaches, plants and many more making sure your shot is perfect. Additionally, it is this AI feature that adds the finishing touches to your low-light shots as well, thanks to features like AIS Super Night Mode and AI HDR+ backlit photo.

If you scroll to the “Video” section and tap the magic wand, you can turn on AI Portrait Color Mode. A nifty little feature, it allows you keep your subject in full color while greying out the background. Scroll a little further and you can try the Super Slow-Mo feature tucked in the “More” section and shoot at 960fps! You can even use the AI Movie Editor to play director, while the Spotlight Reel feature will create montage-like videos ready for sharing on social media, complete with background music.

 

 

The Punch hole in the corner is more than meets the eye

Up front you can see the tiny Punch hole in the corner of the display. While it is a given that this houses the 32MP AI Selfie Superstar camera, the AI features that you can’t see shine when it comes to results. Similar to the main camera setup, the AI will detect up to 8 scenes in the front and adjust the settings for perfect selfies in any condition. Low light? Not a problem, thanks to the 4-in-1 Pixel fusion and AI HDR+ feature that makes sure there is enough light in your photo.

 

Topping it all off, the front camera also has a little extra feature called Enhanced AI beautification that adds an extra layer of AI optimized good looks to your already stunning selfie. Who wouldn’t love that?

There is a lot of power under the hood. Seriously, a lot

The HUAWEI nova 5T is not a phone to be taken lightly. While it looks pretty and stylish on the outside, under the hood lies raw power that can take on flagship grade devices. The flagship Kirin 980 processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and EMUI 9.1 brings you powerful and efficient performance, no matter how intensive your use is.

Your gaming experience is also boosted, with the GPU Turbo 3.0 feature that will enhance your graphics, while the Huawei Histen 6.0 with virtual 9.1 surround sound enhances audio for a more immersive gaming experience all-together.

 

The phone will also last long, thanks to the 3750mAh battery. The battery comes with an additional feature, the 22.5W Huawei SuperCharge that recharges 50% in 30 minutes, so you don’t have to worry about running out of charge either!

Show off the stunning design

Now this might not be exactly be a “hidden” goodie, but we just can’t stop talking about it! A super slim side profile, a brand new nova logo on three stunning colors on the back and a 6.26 inch FHD+ display that is simply amazing, the HUAWEI nova 5T is certainly a phone that you will love showing off. The three striking new colors include Black, Crush Blue and Midsummer Purple, which is complete with the new nova logo. The HUAWEI nova 5T doesn’t need any instructions on how to be shown off, it does it all by itself.

 

The HUAWEI nova 5T is packed full of features that cater to every type of user. It could be someone who loves photography or gaming or even someone who wants a device to show off, the HUAWEI nova 5T does it all with ease and packs a few extra treats to make it even easier.

Consolidated Bank Ghana LTD Leads GHS 600 million Note Programme Listing for Kasapreko Co. PLC on Ghana Fixed Income Market

IMG 20240219 WA0018

Consolidated Bank Ghana LTD (CBG) in a strategic partnership as a joint lead arranger has lauded Kasapreko Co. Plc, an indigenous beverage manufacturer, for its ambitious growth plans following the official listing of the Series 1 GHS 600 million Note Programme on the Ghana Fixed Income Market (GFIM).

The funds raised will bolster Kasapreko Co. Plc’s working capital, financing capital expenditures such as operational expansion, and refinancing short-term debts.

Speaking at a joint press briefing in Accra, the Managing Director of CBG, Mr. Daniel Wilson Addo, emphasized the significance of the transaction, indicating that this is the first time an indigenous Ghanaian Bank has worked with an indigenous manufacturing company to raise funding from local pension funds in the public market. This signifies fostering strong partnerships among indigenous companies to overcome financing challenges innovatively. 

He added that the funding which is at a cost significantly lower than the Ghana Reference Rate (GRR) for borrowing will cushion Kasapreko Co. Plc’s operations significantly.

He underlined the importance of addressing risks associated with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) while encouraging financial institutions and industries to develop financial structures that meet the evolving risks effectively.

Mr. Addo stated, “This transaction is a testament to our overriding ambition to make an impact in the communities in which we operate. We stand with you in good times or in bad times”.

According to Mr. Addo, the support for Kasapreko Co. Plc highlights the economic impact of CBG’s lending philosophy.

The Managing Director of Kasapreko Co. Plc, Mr. Richard Adjei, welcomed the innovative financing source, describing it as a relatively cheaper capital and sustainable solution for business growth.

Mr. Adjei expressed his gratitude towards CBG for enabling them to explore alternatives beyond traditional Banks. With the infusion, Kasapreko Co. Plc aims to expand production capacity and enhance its participation in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), having already exported products to Kenya and South Africa.

In attendance were Management members of the Consolidated Bank Ghana LTD (CBG) including the Deputy Managing Director of Operations and Technology, Mr. Thairu Ndungu; Deputy Managing Director of Corporate Resources, Madam Nana Ama Poku and Director of Finance and Strategy, Mr. Charles Appiah and other senior executives of the Bank.
