Is it a bird? A plane? Smartphone sent into sky for record attempt

The Huawei Honor 8 phone was attached to a weather balloon also carrying a camera and other equipment, and set off from the SSC Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden. Peter Lundkvist of Huawei Technologies Sweden said the balloon reached 18,421 meters before bursting. "Hopefully, Guinness (World Records) will accept this as a world record in highest smartphone livestreaming," he said.
