Honor's EU President talks about differentiating from Huawei, Magic OS 7, and their upcoming foldable
Honor's EU President Tony Ran sat down with XDA for a discussion on the company's direction and future plans.
When Huawei sold off its sub-brand Honor in late 2020 to a consortium of buyers, it was welcome news to many phone fans. Not only did it mean that we get a new independent player in the smartphone scene, but there were hopes that Honor devices would regain access to Google Mobile Services, which had been stripped from all devices under the Huawei umbrella since mid-2019. And that was exactly what happened: Honor re-made its global debut in the summer of 2021 with the Magic 3 series, with a big marketing push about being an independent brand and having full Google support to boot.
The story of the impossible port: How Quake was ported to the Game Boy Advance
Porting Quake to the Game Boy Advance would have seemed to have been impossible, but Randy Linden managed to pull it off. Here's how.
The Game Boy Advance is a handheld games console created by Nintendo. It was released in Japan in 2001 and served as the successor to the Game Boy Color. It had an ARM7TDMI clocked at 16.78 MHz, 32kb of internal work RAM, 256kb of external RAM, and 96kb of VRAM. It's not the most powerful machine, but there are plenty of games for the handheld that many hold in fond memory. One game that never saw the light of day though for the device was a prototype port of Quake, a game developed by id Software that helped define the first-person shooter genre that we know today.
