Magic UI 4 Beta arriving to Honor 20, 20 Pro, and V20
03 December 2020
The next devices in line for Magic UI 4 are the Honor 20, 20 Pro, and Honor V20. This is according to a Huawei Central reader. The outlet reports that Honor is launching a closed Beta for the new firmware update for global variants. Meanwhile the Chinese variants of these devices are already on the second build of the same Beta.

Magic UI 4 is the Honor counterpart of Huawei’s EMUI 11, which is based on Android 11. As previously reported, Huawei and Honor devices updated to EMUI 11/Magic UI 4 will be on the list to receive Huawei’s incoming Harmony OS, which is the company’s answer to the Huawei ban, which has blacklisted its products from being able to use Google services.
If you have one of these Honor devices and wish to register for the Beta, you need to download the Beta app (check Source link), and login with your Huawei ID. Then select Personal > Join Project > Available Project > and if available, you’ll be able to sign up for the Beta program.

Earlier today, Huawei announced that it’s reached 10 million EMUI 11 users around the globe. The Huawei P40, P40 Pro, and the Mate 30 Pro were the last devices to receive the EMUI 11 stable updates just last week. As the testing of EMUI 11/Magic UI 4 continues to older devices, Huawei hopes to begin Beta testing Hamony OS as soon as this month with stable updates scheduled to arrive in April 2021.

The Only VR Headset Capable Of Going To Up To 180Hz Lands At $749
~3.2 mins read
Pimax Vision 5K Super owners can enable an experimental 180Hz mode, or run at a still-fast 160Hz.
Several of the best VR headsets go to or around 90Hz, like the Oculus Quest 2 and HTC Vive Cosmos Elite. Not to be outdone on the spec sheet, Pimax has released the Vision 5K Super, which has an experimental mode to enable a crazy-high 180Hz refresh rate.
The standard refresh rate (read: non-experimental) is really high as well, at 160Hz. Going that high does not come without concessions, however, as Pimax notes that when running at 160Hz, the widest field of view (FOV) is 170 degrees, instead of 200 degrees.
Still, those specs leave behind the Valve Index, the best VR headset for a premium experience on gaming PC, which has a 144Hz refresh rate and around a 130-degree FOV.
Whether the capabilities of the Vision 5K Super offer any noticeable improvement to the actual VR experience over the Index, we'll have to wait for the reviews. On paper at least, it is impressive. It is also basically a refresh of the Vision 5K Plus, both of which offer a 2560x1440 resolution per eye.

Best VR headset: which kit should you choose?
Best graphics card: you need serious GPU power for VR
Best gaming laptop: don't get tied to your desktop in VR
In addition to the higher refresh rate on the Super model, the Vision 5K Super comes with a new "Modular Audio Strap" that is supposed to be more comfortable. The package also includes a comfort face kit (padding, basically) and nose guard.
This built-in sensors work with SteamVR 1.0 and 2.0 lighthouse stations (required) and SteamVR controllers.
Pimax's Vision 5K Super is available now for $749. The company is also selling a bundle with a set of SteamVR 2.0 lighthouse stations and Valve Index controllers, for $1,249.
