Huawei Mate 20 X (5G) is the king of 5G smartphonesKUWAIT CITY, Aug 5: 5G is on and regional telecom opera-tors are quickly developing 5G commercial deployments. GCC countries are in the 1st wave of 5G rollout. Timing is every-thing, people often say. That’s why Huawei is launching the Huawei Mate 20 X (5G), cur-rently claimed as the King of 5G Smartphones and Huawei’s first commercial 5G smart-phone in the market. It is worth pointing out that Huawei start-ed developing its 5G technol-ogy as early as 2009 and have hired thousands of employees engaged in 5G development or invested $1.4bln in this technology only in 2017-18. The Huawei Mate 20 X (5G)

was launched last month, let’s discover more about it.

Super-fast 5GThe Huawei Mate 20 X (5G)

provides a theoretical speed of up to 4.6Gbps download speed, saving you lots of time and frustration when streaming and downloading. Huawei Mate 20 X (5G) is compatible with multiple generations of net-work technology including 4G, 3G and 2G. Regardless of your mobile network maturity, high speed connectivity is guaran-teed thanks to two chipsets: Kirin 980 and 5G multi-mode chipset Balong 5000. While some 5G phones support only Non-Standalone (NSA) networking mode, Huawei

Mate 20 X (5G) is the only 5G smartphone* to support both NSA and Standalone (SA). The SA, the recent version of networking mode, ensures a better performance and higher efficiency for your phone.

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 5: Mobil 1 powered cars claimed a mix of victories, podiums and titles at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Toyota Gazoo Rac-ing claiming its second consecu-tive LMP1 class win, while the Porsche GT Team achieved a double podium fi nish in the GTE Pro category.

After more than 5,000 kilo-metres of non-stop, hard-fought racing in one of the world’s most challenging motor races, it was the #8 car driven by Se-bastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakaji-ma and Fernando Alonso that become the overall race win-ners – for the second successive year.

■ It was a remarkable perfor-mance for Toyota Gazoo Racing, whose Toyota TS050 Hybrid power unit was lubricated by a specially made blend of Mobil 1 engine oil, essential to max-imising power and performance through the most gruelling motor race in the world.

■ Meanwhile, the Mobil 1 pow-ered PorscheGT Team claimed a double podium fi nish in the GTE Pro class, with the #91 car driv-en by GianmariaBruni, Richard Lietz and Frederic Makowiecki claiming second place ahead of the #93 Porsche piloted by Nick Tandy, Earl Bamber and Patrick Pilet.

production factory fill. Both cars with over 200 mov-

ing parts lubricated by Mobil 1, some reaching temperatures of over 150° centigrade, fi nished the demanding race, which stretches over more than 5,000 kilometres, in perfect condition.

■ The Corvette Racing team also had the benefi t of using Mo-bil 1 engine oil, with their leading #63 C7.R car claiming 9th posi-tion in the GTE Pro class, driven by Jan Magnussen, Antonio Gar-cia and Mike Rockenfeller.

■ Following the success at this year’s race, David Tsurusaki, Global Motorsport Technol-ogy Manager, ExxonMobil, said: “This is a fantastic result for our partners, Toyota and Porsche. The 24 Hours of Le Mans really

is the ultimate challenge for driv-ers, teams, cars and for our Mobil 1 lubricant.

The extreme pressures these cars are able to withhold, rac-ing at maximum performance over 5,000km non-stop, is ab-solutely phenomenal. This is why our partner teams demand use of only the best products which Exxon Mobil is able to supply.

Hisatake Murata, Team Presi-dent, Toyota Gazoo Racing: “We have an unusual feeling because we have won our second Le Mans. Nevertheless, I am proud of the overall performance as well as the team spirit which we showed throughout the race, also in the diffi cult moments in the fi -nal hour.

Congratulations to the new World Champions Sébastien, Kazuki and Fernando, also on their second Le Mans victory. This was a dramatic end to an incredible season for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing and we look for-ward to defending our titles next season.”

Finally, the races are still con-tinuing, and Mobil in Kuwait is just fi nished its scratch and win campaign.
