Capture Beauty Under Cover of Darkness, with HUAWEI Nova 7i

The smartphone has shot on to resounding success with blazing hot pre-orders just under five days. Pre-orders are running up till May 31, 2020.

You've undoubtedly experienced the annoyance of coming across a dazzling night scene, only to find that your camera can't recreate it exactly as it appears in front of you. Low-light photography has always been challenging for smartphone cameras, as insufficient lighting brings negative effects on image rendering. There are capable devices, of course – but they're hefty SLR cameras that must be used in conjunction with a tripod, or expensive phones that cost a proverbial arm and a leg.

The newly-unveiled HUAWEI Nova 7i represents something different, however, by challenging the status quo with its powerful, inventive camera technologies. Night photography is now accessible to all, rather than an exclusive realm of the highly-skilled, or the highly-priced.

The Nova 7i features five AI-powered cameras that generate pristine images at every touch of the shutter. The rear 48MP Quad AI setup includes a 48MP ultra-HD sensor, 120° ultra-wide angle camera, macro lens and depth sensor together in an avant-garde design. A 16MP front camera renders every shot in high resolution, with vivid, authentic colors.

The 48MP main sensor for the rear camera system boasts extraordinary imaging capabilities, with its ultra-large 1/2-inch sensor size and wide f/1.8 aperture. In darker settings, an in-house "4-in-1 pixel fusion" technology automatically kicks in to ensure much higher photosensitivity, therefore guaranteeing first-rate performance despite of the unsatisfactory lighting.

The Nova 7i also allows you to shoot at night without a tripod, thanks to the Huawei-exclusive Super Night Mode, realized through the collaboration between blistering processing from Kirin 810 chipset and state-of-the-art AI algorithms. Basically, with a press of the shutter multiple pictures will be taken during the long exposure that lasts from 2 to 6 seconds, and they will be intelligently synthesized to create one final sharp, stunning, noise-free image. You may even be able to capture the starry night just as how your eyes perceive it!

The phone's 16MP front camera can also utilize "4-in-1 pixel fusion", a customized Super Night Selfie Mode and AI to achieve 2μm-equivalent levels of photosensitivity. Therefore, your selfies are comprehensively optimized even in unfavorably-lit surroundings, with your facial features presented in captivating lifelike depth, natural lighting effects, optimal brightness and clarity. While over- or under-exposure is common in many selfie photos, none can be found in the picture below (taken with nova 7i).

The HUAWEI Nova 7i is a wonderful companion in exploring the night's beauty. Lengthy photography sessions aren't a problem either, with a 4200 mAh battery that keeps the phone powered for a full day, and 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge technology that fills it to 70% in just 30 minutes even if it is dying (which doesn't happen a lot). When you need to install any of your favorite apps, such as the social media ones, so that you can share your proud photography works with friends and families, you can easily do so on Huawei's own app-service platform, AppGallery, or any other third-party app store.

And as if all that wasn't enough, the phone costs PKR 43,999/- only! There's no need to wait for dawn to fall. You can pick up a HUAWEI Nova 7i at any time, and enjoy night photography that dazzles and reveals.

“Education Sector – innovation in the delivery model is a must”: Experts

“We need to forget about the way education was delivered in the pre-COVID19 era, we can’t and must not go back to the old state” said Sajjeed Aslam, head of ACCA Pakistan.

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) hosted a series of conversations with representatives from higher education, school system, corporate sector and education technology providers from Pakistan, the Middle East, Europe and the U.S.

The experts largely agreed that adoption of digital technologies for education has been a discussion for a while, the question has always been ‘when and how’. With COVID19, circumstances have forced the education sector in Pakistan to showcase either its readiness or a lack of it.

The conversation was divided into three focus areas: the higher education, school systems, and the technological considerations, allowing experts to carefully assess the sweeping effects of Covid-19 on learners of different backgrounds and review the availability of technology to support a contingency plan.

It was pointed out that despite the lack of preparedness, the majority of private sector educational institutes were quick in their response and were successful in restoring learning using online methods. However, a lot needs to be done to provide an ideal environment to learners and enable effective assessment of their progress.

The education leaders urged the government to ensure availability of fast internet connectivity across Pakistan to support their ambitions of introducing new models of blended learning that are not exclusive to students living in large cities only.

It was also highlighted that online delivery is pointless if institutes don’t move to online assessment. Options like online exams and remote invigilation were also discussed. Under remote invigilation, exams are taken online and supervised remotely by a live invigilator. There is a thorough system of checks involving biometrics, artificial intelligence and recording – rigour, security and integrity are paramount.

Commenting on the future trends in the education sector, Lee Rubenstein, Executive Vice President, edX, said,

“The world is moving to stackable, modular education in which you focus on the immediate learning needs of a learner unlike current degree programmes in which we teach a long string of courses. The business model of the future in education is to develop lifelong learners in which the delivery of learning is omnichannel, making it more accessible for everyone to learn on the go.”

Sharing the perspective and experience of higher education institutes in Pakistan, Dr Sadia Nadeem, Dean, Fast School of Management, National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, shared,

“We even intend to retain online learning post Covid-19 and the teachers have to embrace blended learning as a new normal. HEC’s guidelines for faculty readiness to teach online are very useful. In online learning, there’s also a need for a change in university-student contract as onus of learning is more on students and they have to self-motivate themselves to progress. Also government needs to ensure there’s access to reliable internet in every part of the country.”

Commenting on the readiness of teachers at schools, Ali Ahmad Khan, Chief Operating Officer, Beaconhouse School System, said,

“It’s easier to train teachers to use a certain technology, but bigger challenge is to grasp the online pedagogy. But we foresee that it’s a temporary challenge and we expect that in next 3 to 4 months all our teachers will be fully trained to teach online.” 

Hasan Azhar, Group CEO, HRSG, shared employers’ perspective and offered exclusive insights into how the current disruption will affect the job market in Pakistan. He said,

“In an environment in which everyone’s working from home, employers are starting to realise that almost same amount of productivity can be achieved by employing tech-savvy, remote workers. This will have a knock-on effect on our education models to prepare students for a more digital future. In a long term, employers will be more receptive of the talent coming from hybrid learning systems if not 100% online.”

Commenting on ACCA’s response to Covid-19, ACCA’s country head, Sajjeed Aslam said,

“Our core value has always been to open access to quality education to people of all backgrounds in all circumstances, over the years, we’ve been spending considerably to ensure flexible delivery of our qualifications. So it was more of hitting the ground running for us when it came to teaching online during current pandemic. However, the disruption in exams has made us to look at solutions such as exams at home with remote proctoring. As a forward-thinking organisation, we are blazing the trail here and intend to pilot remote exam-taking in certain countries as early as June this year.”

The panellists who shared their professional insights included Ali Ahmad Khan, Chief Operating Officer, Beaconhouse School System, Reza Ali, Director of Professional Education, ACCA, Dr Sadia Nadeem, Dean, Fast School of Management, National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Hasan Azhar, Group CEO, HRSG, Fazeela Gopalani, Head of Middle East, ACCA, Attiya Noon, School Improvement Partner, The City School, Sarah Concoran, Director of e-Assessment Transform & e-Delivery, ACCA, Lee Rubenstein, Executive Vice President, edX , Dr Farrah Arif, Founder & CEO, EDTechWorx, and Almas Abbas Ali, Head of Education – South, ACCA.

Given the timely nature of these discussions and growing interest among educationists, parents and students, these online sessions garnered massive viewership and participation. Over 50,000 people viewed these live sessions on Facebook and over 700 questions were asked in the comments.

ACCA believes that this pandemic has also given us an opportunity to come together and rethink and redefine the future of education. Its standing as a global super connector uniquely positions it to take the lead on such issues of public good and bring together important stakeholders. Using its power of connections and rich professional insights, they intend to continue engaging conversation leaders to facilitate future thinking and recommend forward-thinking solutions.

Covid-19 having significant impact on the world’s auditors

53% of respondents say they’re experiencing pressures completing client services work, and 36% say they face an inability to meet reporting deadlines.

The impact of Covid-19 is already having a significant impact across the audit profession and public practice leaders finds research from ACCA Covid-19 global survey: inside business, impacts and responses.

The pandemic has specific implications for auditing firms, with the nature of the audit process needing engagement and direct interaction with the audited entity.

Although digital advances continue to influence how audits are conducted and how evidence is gathered, as well as aspects of the reporting process, for many firms the crisis is creating a systemic shock to normal client engagement activities.

Mike Suffield, director – professional insights at ACCA says: ‘From increased pressure to complete audit work to issues in getting audit evidence, and very sensitive judgments in areas such as going concern, auditors will need to re-evaluate how they undertake normal auditing activities. There are challenges ahead, but respondents also spoke openly about opportunities.’

ACCA fellow, Dato' Lock Peng Kuan, Managing Partner, Audit & Assurance, Baker Tilly Malaysia and Chair of ACCA Audit and Assurance Global Forum, adds: ‘The key factor in managing a crisis of any nature is, first, to maintain a strong element of trust within the organisation, and with clients. It is immensely heartening to see respondents put health and safety top of their actions in dealing with the pandemic.’

A significant 53% of respondents said they were experiencing pressures completing client services work, and over a third (36%) said they faced an inability to meet reporting deadlines - a point recognised in many jurisdictions where reporting deadlines have been flexed. A quarter said they’re experiencing difficulties in gathering audit evidence, and 27% said they saw an increased audit risk relating to valuation of assets, completeness of liabilities or going concern issues.

On the positive side, the 1,857 respondents to the global research from public practice and audit leaders have already reported significant opportunities for providing enhanced insights and value to audited entities through the audit process.

Focussing on the risks ahead for all businesses across all sectors, Mike Suffield concludes: ‘These immediate impacts will resonate into the future, and it’s important that we do not lose sight of business fundamentals. Even in the face of Covid-19, businesses large and small will still face existing risks such as cybersecurity. We need to remember that different ways of working and strategic reactions could change these risks or even introduce new ones. Ensuring that risks continue to be managed, both specifically in response to the crisis and more generally, is essential.’
