Sony may exit the Chinese smartphone market: Report

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

Sony, the Japanese tech giant, could be planning a major shift in its smartphone strategy. Multiple reports from Chinese media sources indicate the company might be considering an exit from the competitive Chinese smartphone market. 

According to a report by mydrivers, Sony won’t release its next Xperia smartphone in China, and its mobile division might completely pull out of the mainland China market. 

The exact reason for this move isn’t clear yet, but it could be because Sony’s smartphones have struggled to gain much market share in China.

sony exit chinese smartphone

Sony’s journey in China’s smartphone market began with its acquisition of Ericsson’s stake over a decade ago. While it was initially successful, Sony has had a hard time keeping up with the competition. As a result, Sony now holds only a small portion of the Chinese smartphone market.

While disappointing, a withdrawal from China would not end Sony’s presence within the mobile industry. Sony’s expertise in smartphone camera sensors space will still keep it a major player in the market. 

However, do note that Sony has yet to officially confirm or deny the reports. Until then, any changes regarding the availability of Sony phones in China remain speculative.

Upcoming Sony Xperia smartphones

As for upcoming Sony Xperia smartphones, there are rumors about the Xperia 1 VI and 5 VI.

A previous report suggests that Sony is planning to include the world’s first in-camera digital signature technology in its next-generation Xperia phones. 

This feature would let users digitally sign photos right into the camera, ensuring their authenticity and preventing tampering.

Another report from January gave possible camera specs for the Xperia 1 VI, mentioning 48MP sensors for all three lenses. 

However, we don’t have any details about when or where these devices will be launched.

Qualcomm is expected to unveil a new flagship-grade chip bearing the SM8635 model number this month. The rumor mill is tentatively calling the chip the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. It is speculated that upcoming smartphones, such as the Xiaomi Civi 4, Redmi Note 13 Turbo, Realme GT Neo 6, Vivo Pad 3 tablet, and an upcoming iQOO Neo 9 series phone, will come equipped with the said chip. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station leaked the display specifications and rear camera details of the forthcoming Neo 9 series phone.

iQOO Neo 9 Racing Edition key specifications (rumored)

In December 2023, iQOO announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered iQOO Neo 9 and the Neo 9 Pro with the Dimensity 9300 chip in China. The predecessor Neo 8 series included two models, such as the Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro. However, the Neo 7 series, which was released in 2022, featured the Neo 7 equipped with the Dimensity 9000+, the Neo 7 Racing Edition with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and the Neo 7 SE with the Dimensity 8200.

If rumors swirling on Weibo are to be believed, iQOO may bring back the Racing Edition model in the Neo 9 series. If the rumors swirling on Weibo are to be believed, the forthcoming Neo-branded iQOO phone could be dubbed the iQOO Neo 9 Racing Edition.

The screen will also offer up to a 144Hz refresh rate and 2160Hz PWM dimming. On the back, the device will have a dual-camera system headlined by a 50-megapixel camera, and it will lack a plastic bracket.

The device will be equipped with a plastic frame and pack a large battery with 120W fast charging.

Poco F6 Pro spotted on NBTC certification, launch may be imminent

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

Poco is building momentum in 2024 with the recent release of the Poco X6 and X6 Pro smartphones. Now, signs point towards an upcoming addition to the company’s lineup with the Poco F6 series.

The Poco F6 Pro, with model number 23113RKC6G, has been certified by Thailand’s NBTC (National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission). This certification typically indicates an approaching launch date.

Poco F6 Pro NBTC Certification

So when might it hit the market? Well, considering that the Poco F5 smartphone was released last May, we can expect a similar timeframe for the F6 Pro. Moreover, devices that receive NBTC certification typically hit the shelves within 1-2 months.

For instance, both the Poco X6 Pro and X6 received NBTC certification in November and December respectively, and were officially launched in January. Following this pattern, it’s reasonable to expect the Poco F6 Pro to make its debut in April or May of 2024.

Poco F6 Pro Specifications (Rumored)

Interestingly, speculation suggests the Poco F6 Pro might be a rebranded Chinese Redmi K70. That is because the K70’s model number — 23113RKC6C — is very similar to the F6 Pro. 

If the rebranding theory holds true, the Poco F6 Pro will have a 6.65-inch OLED display with 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The device could be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, coupled with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. 

Camera-wise, we might see a triple camera setup on the rear headlined by a 50MP main sensor with OIS. It will likely be joined by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. Keeping the phone running will be a 5000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging.

LinkedIn revealed a new surprise – their revenue stream on Thursday from premium subscriptions. The social media platform for professionals generated $1.7 billion from subscriptions in 2023, highlighting increased adoption of its new AI-powered job search tools.

LinkedIn Premium starts at $39.99 per month, which is a little hefty – but it works clearly!

Previously undisclosed financials since Microsoft‘s acquisition in 2016 showed LinkedIn’s total revenue at $15 billion, with $7 billion coming from corporate recruiting software. However, LinkedIn has focused on expanding its individual-targeted subscription service, with prices starting at $39.99 per month.

LinkedIn

A key driver of this growth was the introduction of AI features in 2023. These tools include analyzing job postings to determine a candidate’s suitability, optimizing profiles for recruiters, and generating messages to potential employers.

LinkedIn COO Dan Shapero reported a 25% increase in premium subscribers during 2023, although the total user count remains undisclosed. He further stated that 70% of subscribers using the new AI tools found them valuable.

While the job market remains competitive, LinkedIn data suggests there are still two applicants for every job opening. Shapero attributes the rise in subscriptions to users seeking an edge in an uncertain economic climate.

Blizzard Entertainment has finally revealed the trailer for its much-awaited Overwatch 2 x Cowboy Bebop collab. For those unaware, Cowboy Bebop is a beloved Japanese neo-noir space Western anime that aired between 1998 and 1999.

Overwatch 2 x Cowboy Bebop Spike

The trailer reveals new Overwatch 2 character skins inspired by the main Cowboy Bebop crew. Cassidy will don a Spike Spiegel-inspired skin, featuring a trench coat and a retro-futuristic six-shooter, though the in-game design remains unseen.

Overwatch 2 x Cowboy Bebop Sombra ED skin
Overwatch 2 x Cowboy Bebop Ashe Faye skin

Ashe will transform into Faye Valentine, with Bob also getting a unique look. Sombra’s skin nods to ED, the anime’s hacking genius. While Mauga’s skin pays homage to Bebop’s Captain Jet Black. Although Overwatch doesn’t have corgis, Hammond will dress up as EIN from the anime. Plus, players can expect to hear the iconic Cowboy Bebop theme song, Tank!, in the game.

These skins will be available on March 12. While Blizzard hasn’t disclosed prices, based on a previous event with KPOP group Le Sserafim, skins may cost about $25 (2500 premium coins) each, with a bundle option for all skins at $68 (6800 premium coins). Blizzard also reduced the pricing of the 7500 premium coins pack to US$50 when the Le Sserafim crossover dropped, so it won’t be surprising if the company goes with this strategy again to push players to buy the complete bundle.

To recall, the Infinix Note 30 VIP smartphone from last year offered 50W wireless charging. The Note 40 Pro+ 5G will support the all-new MagCharge wireless charging technology, but its exact speed cannot be deduced from the above image.

The image also suggests that the Note 40 Pro+ 5G could be equipped with a curved-edge AMOLED display and NFC connectivity. Unfortunately, the other details of the device are not known yet. Its arrival seems imminent, as it has already been spotted with model number X6851B in the databases of certification platforms such as Indonesia’s SDPPI and Europe’s EEC.

Available for pre-order now, the Onyx Pro starts at a price of $1,199 for the base model. Despite its relatively large size for a Mini PC, measuring 196 x 189 x 48 mm, it provides ample expansion and mounting possibilities.

Samsung Could Face its First Worker Strike in Over 55 Years

South Korea‘s tech giant Samsung Electronics and its labor unions are on the precipice of a historic clash as wage negotiations have reached a deadlock. If a resolution cannot be reached, the company could face its first-ever worker strike.

The dispute is because of the two parties’ proposed salary increases

The core of the dispute lies in the vast discrepancies between the two parties’ proposed salary increases. While the union demands a substantial raise, Samsung’s proposed plan falls significantly short of these expectations.

Samsung Data Breach UK

According to reports, the National Samsung Electronics Union rejected Samsung’s initial 2.5% wage increase offer at the first mediation meeting in February. Although Samsung revised the offer to a 2.8% increase, including additional benefits like extended leave and healthcare options, it remains far below the union’s desired 8.1% raise.

This impasse has triggered the threat of a strike, potentially marking a defining moment in the union’s 55-year history. While the union secured the right to strike in 2022, it ultimately opted against taking action. However, the current situation poses a much greater risk of a walkout.

The potential strike has raised concerns about its impact on Samsung’s operations and the broader South Korean economy. The company is a crucial player in the global tech industry, and a prolonged disruption could have significant ramifications.

The upcoming second round of mediation on March 8th will be critical in determining the outcome of this labor dispute. Both parties face pressure to find a compromise that addresses the union’s concerns while safeguarding the company’s sustainability. The entire situation is being closely watched, as it could set a precedent for future labor relations in South Korea.
